Looks like the offspring of a 911 and an Audi R8.

[artplumber]

Why does the ass du jour appear to be so bulbous on pretty much all new cars? Is this a hip-hop thing?

[syncroid]

Looks like a Nissan.

[kstar]

I can't read French, but I don't think that's an official Porsche site . . . so I expect Porsche legal will be all over those guys like white on rice.

Re the car, looks great from the front, but the rear view and side back views look not so good IMHO - very "thick" and heavy looking.

Best,

Kurt

edit: just saw a disclaimer at the top in English, which won't keep the "law" away!

[Porsche-O-Phile]

There's a badly written disclaimer explaining that this is only a student project.

It looks it too.

Wow, what different reactions I had to the rear and front. From the rear it looks like crap - ugly as *****. From the front it's stunningly awesome! It seems to me to combine 993, CGT and a bit of the shape of the Cayman.

I'd say more like a 911 and a Koenigsegg

[pwd72s]

To each their own...I've been eyeying the 4 door jeep wrangler as a good vehicle to drive in the people's republik of Orygun...where all are urged to drive 65 or less...

This thing? 100% cop bait...

Exactly. That car screams Koenigsegg.

The video is much better than just having the "stills". I love the design of the Nissans and our G35, I guess that's why I love this design so much. I'd buy one in a heartbeat even if the rear is still screaming "928" to me. If that entire cap tilted upward, what great room to work on the engine! This thing would destroy the Cayman sales so fast! Beautiful.

[sketchers356]

I love the 928 on cake ass.

[porsche4life]

Cool...is Carma French for Cayman killer?

[austin552]

Definately a 928 inspired rear.

[dzls rok]

not loving it

[svandamme]

i'm more inclined to look at the 904 as a source of of inspiration , not the 928

take a 904, optimize the aerodynamics, round things off like everything else in 200x, then blend it with the current Porsche look ... and this Carma thing is what you end up with

sure, that last part, behind the rear wheels is 928-ish, because of the bumper joints and roundness, but the car is no shark, it's not front engined, the bonnet isn't very long, it's not a 4 seater....

it's definately not official Porsche, probably couple of design students trying to put themselfs in the picture

i doubt Porsche would reveal a concept car, just in drawing, i think they usually reveal a concept car.. as a real rolling chassis...

[kach22i]

This design is an example of why I like to work with clay, it won't let things get out of hand like this car is.
