996 Pick-up!

Utter madness from Rinspeed

Well, that's different.

I actually quite like it, I have a feeling that it'd sell well too.

Plenty of space to put your shopping et al, the everyday useability of a Porsche has just been made suitable for even MORE everyday use.

Nicely done rinspeed.

When I first saw this I thought it was a joke?!
What is with the rear styling??

"Oh yes, I want to order my porsche turbo with some Vauxhall Corsa rear lights"

[dazren]

Ghastly.

I quite like it, this is what the Cayanne should have been like

Total BMW M coupe type thing.

Should be interesting to see it tested against a T350c....

Pity it's a pick-up - reminds me of the sporting estates of the '70s - Reliant Scimitar GTE, Lotus Elite, Jensen GT, Volvo 1800ES and so on. Two extra seats and a hatchback would have been fine, though. Agree about the 'corsa' treatment. Missed opportunity.

[Tony Hall]

Quite like it, but there again I like the M Coupe.
Remember the estate version of the 60/70's Elan, Aston Martin etc?
Remember someone (on here?) drawing up an estate Chimaera or Cerbera a few months ago.

Some sports-estate versions of the 924 turbo were made for the American market in the late '70s/ early '80s, so Porsche isn't exactly new to the market. It's still a bloody pickup, though.

most beautiful porsche I've seen to date....

very good effort

[veewhy]

It's hideous. The morons that make it have also made similar confections based on other great cars, and have almost always managed to completely corrupt the inherent qualities in said cars in terms of form and function, these mobile turds were usually created for middle eastern arabs that simply underlined Mr Wild's notion that some just know the price of something...
