I sure hope it's a hybrid, or I just couldn't keep going.

I'm tired of this hybrid crap. I even went to a Porsche dealer to pickup parts and a brochure. Salesman said they don't do brochures anymore because they have gone green.

WTF Porsche? Are you going to PC your cars too now and change black to dark gray because the color is racist?

That's probably why the nose is so big, more batteries.

You want that extra 750lbs over the front end to improve performance. And the entire interior can be a flat panel that will never go out of date.

I think it looks hot as hell. Guessing at the price based on what's in the article though, looking is all I'll ever do with it though

To be fair, similar things are still said about hanging a great lump of metal behind the rear axle. Yet Porsche continues to make that work...

They owe you a brochure because you're seriously considering buying a 960, right?

Ok. Funny, I guess I thought Porsche always did flat boxer engines in all their true sports cars.

Does anyone know why the 918 used a V8, and CGT a V10, versus horizontally opposed engines?

Maintenance and packaging. Flat engines can be too wide unless you use top intakes

comparing that to a 928
nothing original about that at all. Nothing flows.

reminds me of this as far as design and originality....lets cut out a center section and call it a "737-xxx"....lets add 20 ft and call it "737-xxx"

lets cut off 2 doors and call it a "Pana"
