New Porsche = oh so sexy.

Successor to the 1970s-80s 928 GT style car.

Hybrid Motor:

An Audi S4-sourced 369bhp 3.0-litre supercharged V6, coupled to a 38kW electric motor, will give the hybrid 928 fuel economy that breaks the 30mpg barrier.

Real Motor:

The engine line-up will mirror that of the Panamera, so a 4.8-litre V8, with or without a turbocharger, producing 500bhp or 400bhp, will be available. The naturally aspirated variant is set to come with four or rear-wheel drive, while the range-topping turbo model will be 4WD only.

Re: New Porsche = oh so sexy.

I don't like it

Re: New Porsche = oh so sexy.

'turbocharged models coming with only 4wd' - awesomeness. This new porsche reminds me of the Aston Martin models. Truly a sports car indeed.

Re: New Porsche = oh so sexy.

As soon as I saw the rear I was thinking Ferrari.

Agreed. Is it me or do the tires look weird?

Re: New Porsche = oh so sexy.

the tires look normal in the first picture, the second picture looks like they rubbed so bad its missing like an inch of tread.

the second picture is shopped for sure, look at the way the front rim overlaps the fender but the tire doesn't? also look at the rear wheel, at how close it is to the fender, by the top spoke

Re: New Porsche = oh so sexy.

Looks like an Aston Martin, as was said above. It's a really crappy chop either way.

Also, why is 30mpg a "barrier?"

Re: New Porsche = oh so sexy.

The first thing I thought was Ferrari as well, but it also looks a lot like an Aston. Both pics are horrible chops.

Re: New Porsche = oh so sexy.

Re: New Porsche = oh so sexy.

LOL so this is what happens when they hire a new design guy at porsche. Im sure hes now fired for making a car that doesnt look exactly like every other porsche on the market.

+1 for the Aston Martin. The rear just gives it away.
