4 door porsche sedan?
Discussion
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh. It's all wrong. Someone must have the big cheese at porsche's home phone noumber, call him now, tell him to stop torturing us with this stuff. They seem to have some kind of 'mission to mars' complex about trying to create the ultimate 4 door 'sports cars', have been trying for over 30 years and still can't decide what they are supposed to be building.

I love all things Pork I can even appreciate the Cyanne though only in Turbo form (did have a problem getting north of 8mpg)
But this thing Its a dogs Dinner surely the only punter who would buy one would be the sultan of bruni he specelises in four door exotics if you want one wait till he is bored of it and buy it cheep as with his Listers 959's GT1s. Why pay real money for that thing . He recently sold one of those 4 door Feraris i seem to recal it looked good value.
€220k for a real ugly porsche saloon car with no heratige(its not a sports car!!)
Does no one remember the eighties loads of models red braces porsche taken to the brink of bankrupsy because of there short sighted approch? Is silver the new Guards red?? FLAME AT WILL

I recognize the pictures are a good photoshop. But nothing else.
Fairly certain they are photoshoped to some extent, the rear door handles I've seen in at least 2 positions (normal and suicide). But most automotive design shops would rather photoshop an image than bother making a car, so I'm not sure its any less credible for that.
Of course that same studio wouldnt be able to leak photo's (real or faked) of a new model before an official launch, even camera phones are banned in the ones I know.
Porsche are oviously still intent on getting rid of the silly idea of rear engines. They tried hard to do this with the 928 but lots of stick in the muds couldn't let go. The revolting big C thing is just a test bed for the new running gear for a 928 replacement, now shown here. I have to say that as a designer it also looks 'orid, nothing like as nice as I expected. Their next move will be to split the front engine and give us back a real sports car, a 944, 968 replacement. Hurray for common sense!
I must be missing something: is there some sort of pre-programmed gene people have which immediately alienates them to anything not exactly beetled of profile?
Ok, it probably does need a few nips and tucks here and there but it's no worse proportioned than say, the current Jag XJ saloon range which for me is a foul riot of miscued lines and bulbousity.
Good grief, it just isn't that bad - that new Maser is ok but could equally be accused of being the hurriedly sketched product of an Italian's post- domestic strop, a veritable feast of unflowing, arguably conflicting, randomn curves and angularism.
Plus, if Porsche can make a saloon with some genuine practicality to that end (i.e. luggage space), you can be sure of it's ability to handle sublimely, stop and go with class-leading aplomb.
If Ferrari can 'get away' with that scalpel attack Scaglietti thing, this should at the very least be acceptable as moderately conservative (in timely and acknowledged Stuttgart versus Maranello fashion) and allowed to dominate the A-roads and motorways like it's illustrious and immortal progenitor generally dictates things track side.

Porsches whole reason for the 4 door is because after the cayanne(sp) release, they have been selling mostly those and their heaviest most sluggish 911, forget which model type exactly. So they realized that people want to go for the big and comfortable car so they are just taking advantage of that market even more.
