I think that car is amazing. Build it with a turbo 4 standard, and a V6 option.

Ditch the Cayman flying buttress rear end. Make it like a Jag E type low drag coupe.

Not bad. Wonder what those wheels would do in terms of curb rash. I'd never buy this. I want the noise to come from the back. Otherwise you might as well get a warmed over Audi TT with FWD.

Wow, that's beautiful. Might be the best looking car in the Porsche lineup, if it goes to production without getting watered down.

I like the rear. the rear quarter has a little 928 going on there. I take one over the Boxster.

Rear visibility must be challenging in that 921 concept. I guess if you're going fast enough, that really doesn't matter.

They must have a separate team that does the rear ends, they sculpt it 80 percent done then hand it over to the "butt" team....

Baby got back playing in their design studio.....

I prefer skinnier rears, but that least they didn't round the corners in...

Yes please. But I believe Porsche has already stated that they won't produce a model below the Boxster.

I hope this doesn't constitute a thread hi-jack. I also haven't noticed any mention of this before on this site although the article is over 2 years old. So for those who haven't seen it - it could still 'qualify' under the thread header.

Introducing the P/904 Carrera

Cheers

You guys realize that this design didn't come out of Porsche right? This is just some designers idea of what a car like this might look like. It's ok, but that ass is hideous.

I don't like the other views as much but this angle looks fantastic!

Jim, have you not heard? All new cars come with rearview cameras!

I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really like that car... but the price tag will get you a nice house in some parts of the country (not that the 921 if it ever came to be would be cheap)
