This is the only place I've seen this car. I've heard about Porsche making a new model line but never knew anything about this car. Does anyone know anything about it?

Tony,

Look's like a computer generated non-existent "dream car". Part of this composite originates with the "street version" of Porsche's GT-1 (c. 1996, LeMans winners).

This size car, powered by a tuned, turbo-charged version of the Cayenne V-8, would be a wonderful Porsche superwagen, though unaccessible, cost-wise, for most of us.

Looks to be legit. But it ain't air-cooled. Here're a couple more pages (found via google search <a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/</a> )
<a href="http://www.car.co.nz/performance.asp?action=article&articleid=10" target="_blank">car.co.nz porsche 980 supercar</a>

bs (slower & cheaper)

Let's think about this. The history of PORSCHE is to either wow us at auto shows, or for the Cheyenne, just let the cat out of the bag just before the release. Porsche would not slip up on introducing a super car - period. It looks to me to be what Richglickel said - a GT-1 streetable. I've seen it in silver and they must have done a lot of photoshopping to make this picture.
