That would look good but it would ruin the 911 legacy.



From the article:
Will Porsche build a Porsche 911 Sedan? They have built a concept before but it never made it to production.

They already did. It's called the Panamera.

Tru dat.

That was my thinking. Must be a really slow news day to produce this kind of junk.

There have been questions about whether Porsche will build a smaller sedan for a while, but I don't think there is any way it would be an extension of the 911. I think it would be a totally new model. I also think it would be a good idea for the company to build one.

I've seen stories about a coupe version of the Panny, wouldn't that be a 911?!? I'm sure if I looked hard enough, someone has blogged about a rear engine Cayman, or any other linear combo of Porsche tech & models.

After the Ferrari fighter, I'm really interested to see what the proposed/blogged 4 banger will look like. Maybe it's the Le Mans effect, but it'd
be interesting to see what Porsche can do with four cylinders & hybrid technology on the street, an updated 912 (street legal 919? Half a 918, the 459?) if you will.

Where is the engine on a Panamera...

I actually think it's called the Macan. Panamera was a poor first attempt.

Exactly. But this is RL. Situation normal.

I hear they might make a smaller version of the Cayanne, too. Just a rumor, though...

IMHO they are not going to build any more vehicles with a rear-engine layout. That ship has sailed. It's too much of a (literal) pain in the *** for the engineering department.

Doh! Think I'd have remembered that after having recently told the missus how much trunk space there was in my recent Panny loaner...T

[WORD]

That's it exactly. And the fact that they launched the Panamera in Shanghai Auto says volumes.

But hey, if Panameras and Cayennes help pay for R&D for 911s, 918s, 960 etc - I'm good w/ that.
