It's my understanding it's the first time it's left the Museum. It's going to be very cool to see "The Frog" in person!

A weird design no doubt, but it had in it a lot of the design language that led Porsche through the nineties, into the new millennium and to today.
The color combo on that car inspired the combo on the most highly-optioned Porsche 964 they made, which was equipped with a one-off engine mated to a one-off PDK transmission from the 962 adapted for the 964.
Take care,
