That's a giant rolling blind spot.

How about losing the hatch, attach the front fenders to the hood tilting forward and shaving the doors.

Form should follow function, and although I guess cams could do the job for the missing mirrors, I think the shrouded hatch and solid quarter panels would make the interior too dark and claustrophobic, at least for me. A great starting point, though. Your next project, Matt- even if only on paper!
No thanks, but I agree with your "i give up" statement regarding the rear quarter.

I believe Porsche got the basic shape right the first time, also agree with Randy, it's a giant blind spot of a car and the Germans would never do that.

As if it isn't hard enough to see 'snails' camped in your 5 & 7 o'clock to begin with. Good looking but totally a show car not a road runner.

If you look close you can see bodywork (shrinking) lines. Will get worse over the years. (upper hatch and quarter window outline)

If in an accident, it would shatter like a vase with all that plastic filler.
