Bugatti used the Diablo while testing the Veyron and I cant remember who but someone used the old Cerbera as a mule, it may have been Mclaren. Not to mention Bentley making their mules look like Mercs.

Difference being that Bugatti and Lamborghini are both part of the same family, BMW and Porsche most certainly are not.

I guess you didnt read the rest of my paragraph. The part about the Bentley sprucing their cars up like Mercs - almost direct competitors you could say.

Porsche Coupster...read Coupster here, not "Cockster".

Porsche plans a hot hatch based on Audi A3/Golf V technic.
With a 3.6 VR6 FSI engine 4wd 300+ hp.

they got into the suv market .... which was a not so bad move .. .
but this .. lol ....

:shock: that wouldn't be even funny! :shock:

Personally, I would like those Porsche Boxter/Cayman were the only car entry level for Porsche, not this small 3-door hatch named Coupster. But one thing I want to see in the next future is the 3.6L VR6 FSI engine with +300hp and AWD onboard the next Audi Shooting Brake, because this Audi looks much more nice than this Coupster, judging by the photoshoped pix.

It wouldn't be the first time that Porsche tuned a car's suspension/engine etc.... i dont see them actually building this... but hey, anything is possible..

I'm all for being able to afford a Porsche, but to do so by having them offer something akin to the A3... No thank you.

haha that pic is ooooolde... i have a Auto Zeitung mag from july 2002 where they have PS pics of exactly the same car, every last detail is exactly the same...(in that same mag they provided pics of the the 997 which were 99% final looks already, and they mentioned a luxury sports coupe based on the cayenne being looked into)

In the article, they say:
This small car would be aimed at younger buyers who think a used boxter or 911 is too expensive, also in maintenance, to be an entry model. since in the premium class customer loyalty is very large, they need to get customers as early as possible.
there are already enough little coupe's, so it should be a hatchback, with very sporty driving dynamics thanks to rear- or allwheel drive, PTM traction control system and PSM stability program.
it would have a typical 911 style interior with not too many buttons and levers and such.
cooperation with VW is possible to reign in the total costs, like hwat happened with the 924 and 944. The engine would be "over 2 litres", with possibly a 4 cylinder version for the entry model. the higher-placed models will have 6 cylinder engines, with a turbo for the top model (although i think that'd make it faster than a boxter).
targeted base price: under 30.000 euros. the aim would be to make it sportier than the MB sportscoupe (but i guess the target would now be the BMW 1 series?)
Officially, porsche says they wont build a baby porsche, porsche is not a mass manufacturer and has to build profitable cars.

now this article is 4 years old now, but people seem to have dug up the pictures from it so i thought i'd just provide some old info as well

I hope it will make it better looking as, for now, I prefer the Touareg's look

[gucom]

awesome so it looks like it might really be the panamera, i always thought it was nonsense, that it was a BMW testmule promoted to panamera by the rumour mill...
btw the passenger seat appears to be a regular seat, only the drivers' seat is porsche

Don't know if this is old but here you go 997 GT2
