It's on the Internet so it must be true.

At least it would have round headlights and not the "fried egg" ones of the 996 and the Cayenne So whoever wrote this April's fools article has good taste.

The tipoff in the article is that the weight would be only 3200lbs :-)

They're talking about doing a small sport ute, a la X3. Why not a minivan? Maybe a Cayenne pickup too. I'd pay money to see a Panameramino...

An elaborate and well done Aprils fools gag... funny.

Did y'all watch the video linked at the bottom?
I'm not a proponent of medicating children but this kid could be a candidate. Wow.

Looks like it's parked under the Brooklyn Bridge. How appropriate.
