Porsche cannot prevent anybody building a new Long Hood from scratch.

Patents have long expired.



But...If you build a new car, for the road
It has to meet new regs.

An a long hood simply cannot meet the new regs.
Forget that.

Anybody who tries will break his own back before he can get that car on the road.
Or the product of his effort will not have much in common with an actual long hood.
It will be a heavy pig with an eco engine.
