Finding Mimo
 
From the web:

If we read correctly the smoke signals that rise from the Weissach think tank, the new project, which is codenamed 960, has nothing much to do with the high-tech 918 Spyder. Instead, Porsche is moving heaven and earth to make 960 the lead car for the new platform. Although it still has not been signed off, due to political issues and a lack of a firm commitment on part of the other brands involved, the new platform, called Mimo, is known in-house as MSB-M, short for modular sports car matrix, mid-engine version. Earmarked to go into production in just over four years, the Porsche 960 (for lack of a better designation) would still share components with the next 911 due in 2018. How is that? Because MSB-M incorporates a second bloodline labeled MSB-H with the H standing for Heckmotor, German for rear-engine.

Go into production in 4 years? The way things are going 4 years now is like 10 years 10 years ago. Manufacturers are bring product from concept to production in a year these days.

The exterior design is nice, but I think it will be outdated before it sees the light of day.

I can see the 918 (front) and Cayman (rear) in the lines of that; I like!
