This is a computer generated image/render utilizing the Mission E concept. Porsche’s launch strategy is getting bad with the Taycan... they keep showing the mission e as if it will be the production version. They are misleading people and when the real deal is launched most will be let down/disappointed. Porsche needs to stop the smoke and mirrors already.

though unlikely... all test cars have been photographed with a tradition hood design.

I didn't follow this saga for the more recent model years, but Porsche went through a lot of pain with the Macan clamshell hood for the initial production year(s) (or maybe the pain was more on the owner's side when the front doors would catch on the clamshell in hot weather). Not sure if the lesson would be come up with a better clamshell design this time around, or to go with a more conventional setup. As you said, the prototypes suggest that the final design is much more conservative than the concept.

Absolutely - I think they have embarked on a very dangerous approach to marketing over the last few years e.g. the 718 and T fiction to name a couple - as if throwing a letter or a number at vehicle gives it a history - which it doesn't.
