Porsche Hot Hatch?

[Tuvra]

After viewing the refelction in this picture, I figured that a Porsche Hot hatch could look pretty cool:

I therefore knocked one up on Photoshop, my thinking is 350bhp and 4x4




I think it could be a good seller at around £40k!

Thoughts and opinions welcomed

The engine wouldn't fit under the bonnet!

Good photoshopping though!

I reckon that you've done a pretty good job there!

Not sure it would be to my taste though, but I do prefer older Pork.

Any chance you could do one in silver and black?

Surely the point of a hot hatch is that it's a high performance version of a basic hatchback? I'm not sure that would be good for the brand!

And yes, there's no way the engine's going to fit.

Surely a performance hatch back that blows all its rivals in to the weeds is better for the brand than the cayenne? My thinking behind it was a cheap way into a practical & fast four seater porsche. I'm thinking young professionals with familys, pitching it head to head with the forthcoming BMW 1M & Audi RS3.

I like the concept, perhaps you should contact Porsche - You never know, they may take you onboard in developing a car to sit in another market. Quite unlikely, but if you don't try, you wont know!

If it was 'Porsche spec', compact and reasonably priced £30-40,000 I think it could be potentially something great.

Probably never going to happen, but nice to think about.

I would have thought that the porsche boxer 6 engine could be made to fit without too much trouble?

Is your photoshop based on Astra VXR by any chance?

[Spoof]

Not a fan, but impressive photoshop none the less.

[mikearwas]

Damn good effort fella, i would actually buy that!

Indeed it is, good spot! I originally wanted to go with a Scirroco shape, but the windows seemed tiny in comparrison when I had grafted the GT3 front end on

The comments are pleasing, I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this is a good idea for Porsche.

If there were to be a Porsche hot hatch, we'd just get another bloody hot Golf with Porsche lights tacked onto it.

Cracking photoshop!
Leak it to autoexpress, I bet they'd wet their pants at that!

Haha not sure if I should be happy or not for being sad enough to recognise it!

It is a great photoshop though! Love the concept!

ETA: Just noticed the numberplate on the red one is the wrong way round

Where did you get the rear wheels from? The rear tires are insanely wide!

[bmthnick1981]

Rear quarter looks a bit Alfa Mito. Are we likely to see a Porsche hot hatch though given the tie up with VW? Would be a good competitor for the new Audi RS3, BMW M 1 Coupe (or whatever its called).

They are the originals....just widened a bit lol. The positive comments are much appreciated, I may spend an hour 2m touching up the photoshops and I may also do a rear shot

looks like a sporty mini cooper, i don't like it and i cant see it appealing to a large market. Thumbs up for the photo shop skills.

[freenote]

Some serious photoshop skillz there!
