901 concept

https://autos.yahoo.com/news/porsche-901-concept-looks-good-angle-163017396.html

Thoughts??


a little too pointy in the rear for me. Looks like a 63 vette!

Doesn't seem like a design that could be reasonably brought to production, but there is cool design in there. I think the tail is wicked.

911 greenhouse tacked on to a Jag F-type rear end and some abortion of a nose. No thanks.

The dished doors/fenders negate the boattail .cd areo advantage, reduces interior space, and pushes the rear further out out in a turn.

^^^Prrrrreeeeettycool!

and "There is no Substitute"

I like the concept one - except the tail profile - but don't call it 901.

Me too, I rather have the concept. That notch, on the lower section of the tail, should fe filled somehow, but I am not sure how. Still, I like it.

Quite a bit of 993 in the rear fenders and rear facing look.

They definitely will have to move the exhaust. WTF?

Greenhouse is too small, flanks are too wide, proportions are just wrong.

Ege Arguden the designer/artist has an interesting take on the icon, but fails to do it for me.

I appreciate the effort though.
