I can see this being a Taycan rival.

- There’s already a rival, it’s called the Tesla Model S, and I wouldn’t have one of those over my Taycan either.

Given the only car to wear this name previously was a disaster on every level, apart from the limited run that featured the flux capacitor, of course, it’s a very risky business strategy.

I think its history could serve it well considering the electricity angle with the film. if they get the marketing right they could do surprisingly well.

Man alive, what an ugly turd. De Lorean, yeah right.

I don't think it looks that bad - a different set of wheels and I'd be interested....

...IF it were to go as well as a Taycan. Which I find unlikely. Judging by the people involved, it'll be more like a Tesla, which doesn't appeal as much.

I don’t think it’s that bad looking, but for me the key is how accurately the production version will resemble the concept. And to what extent the focus will be on headline numbers and technology (Tesla) rather than driving enjoyment (Porsche).
