Porsche 918 Spyder that Porsche will sadly never build...
Or actually...
There was a rumor of a Carrera GT replacement few years back, but in a lower down market. Perhaps this is a preview.
Ignore the green though.
This concept car produces 500hp from a 3.4L V8 from the Le Mans Prototype with electric motors that produce additional 218hp. The motors themselves can power the car independently.
0-62mph 3.2sec
top speed 198 mph
faster than Carrera GT around the 'Ring

Such a shame, It's about time Porsche makes a replacement for Carrera GT. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great car, but It's getting older.

Wow, that really is an extraordinary looking car. Hard times make it harder to have it fit the business model for VW I suppose.

Nice looking car, maybe not enough Porsche for the lights but nice anyway.

Very attractive car, but not typically Porsche, with that simplicity and purity of lines. This looks somewhat overdone for a porsche.
