This is not a concept by Porsche. Just done by an independent designer. I doubt if it ever be picked up.

That said.. I don't like the rear end. Its too sharp and long, not elegant

The rear is NOT traditional Porsche look. It can always be changed. Still looks hot. I think the younger generation will gravitate to this look. The purist PCar owner will not.

Rear overhang is too long but I do like that the engine cover doesn't cut into the rear fenders UNLIKE the 991.

Very talented designer. What is do not like is the open area behind the front wheels. I can see rocks and debri chipping away at the sides on the paint. Other than that, very nice design and imagination.

Actually - the rear is what I like about the design. Reminds me of the rear of an old mahogany speedboat. Too long? Yes could agree.

Otherwise I agree on the open front wheels. Unpractical and ugly. I even hate scoops even though they improve cooling.

But to be honest - has a new design 911 ever been celebrated by our community? It seems the new models are always criticized until they have proven worthy. Rightly so maybe.

I like the slightly more agressive but still "no doubt" 911 design. Even though it might be a non official Porsche design I think its a good overall design.
