Forth Porsche model? Retro with style?
 

With all this talk about a forth Porsche model (a 4 door saloon) :rolleyes: I got this crazy idea. Why not take a completely different route and go retro with style. Like Ford has with their modern GT40.

What if Porsche AG were to build a modern 904? I mean modern the same way as the new GT40. Basically as close as possible to the original looks, but with modern parts.

Porsche has already got a perfect mid engine car in the 986. With Porsche's engeneering power they must be able to use this as basics for a new 904? They also have an engine already; the Boxster S 3,2 engine with 260HP. Now combine this with a lightweight "RS/Club Sport" approach. No big stereo, no aircon, no electric seats, no sunroof, no electric windows etc.

Don't you think that would be a great "package"? I mean a car like this would be a competitor to the Lotus Elise yet still have the performance of a 996 :) Am I dreaming? Perhaps. It'd be expensive and it would also be a threat to 986 sales... Yeah I'm dreaming :(

But then again the combined enthusiasm of this board could make it possible..... :D ;) We must put preassure on Porsche AG.

BTW this thread is an ideal possibility for people to post whatever 904 pics they may have....nudge nudge :cool:

I say we pool our money and buy a Boxster and some 904 kitcar panels...Lets see...I have a nickle and a Canadian quarter.

What is a "saloon"? Is that what we call a "sedan"? (in the US I mean)

Automobile atlanta sell a kit to turn a 914 into a 904-kindalookalike. The site
doesn't have the latest pic, which came out in a feature about them in the november issue of 911& porsche mag.

Yeah "Sedan". I don't know why I wrote "Saloon"? Maybe because I read it in an article... :rolleyes: We say "Sedan" in Denmark too :)
