Screams Cayman in a high pitched voice. I don't like rear wheels sticking out that way.

It won't look like that though. That's just a concept. It will be far less cool on the final version

Funny reading the article. I'm thinking lop 2 doors off a Panamera and tack on an extra 30 grand for those souls who will be asking us "what kind of car is that?"

I'm down. If we all chip in, we can afford it.

It needs to have that "Shark" front look to be a true 928 replacement.

You are right, would be kinda boring if it shares the front end with the Panawagon. I think Porsche is done trying that though..

Doesn't every new Porsche pretty much share the same front end? Every new model looks like they took a 911 and stretched or pushed it into a different shape.

Cool. I can probably afford refurbishing one in 2038 or 2039.

When I'm nearly 80.

This is just a panamera coupe. Doesn't look like the 928 at all IMO.

Edit;
Aha this isn't even real, note the caption on the image

"Porsche 929 design study [Illustration: Julliana Cho via Carscoop"

Illustration. Its not even a concept.

Again;
" Last year, media outlets went wild on a rumor suggesting an all-new entry-level sports car slotting beneath the Boxster. What's more, a new high-performance mid-engine sports car based on the MMB platform was also said to face off against the likes of the Lamborghini Gallardo and Ferrari 458. Unfortunately, neither model has been given the official green light.

Lastly, Porsche is looking to further diversify its lineup with another 4-door sports sedan aimed at the BMW 5-series to slot under the popular Panamera.

While these rumors have circulated among car blogs for months already, we expect some positive confirmation on new models from the Stuttgart automaker in the months ahead."




This is basically a blog post rehashing the same old rumor with ZERO announcement from Porsche and using some car illustrators picture at the bottom. Again, none of this comes from Porsche so I think its just more blog speculation.
