This is a sport coupe and spyder (cabriolet) that would replace the Cayman and Boxster with one model in two variations. It would also mark the return of a flat-four boxer engine, that will help Porsche meet tougher CAFE standards.
No 6 cylinder would be offered, to further seperate it from the Carerra.
This model would also take Porsche slightly 'down market' for high volume.
-2 door 2 seat coupe; Possible sometimes 4 seating as below.
-2 door 2 seat cabriolet;
-rear boxer 4 cyl. engine (2.2 litre, 2.2 turbo);
-80-90% size of Cayman and Boxster;
-Cost $27k-35k
-some concepts utilize the 'evolve' transistional roof, that allows a two seater to become an occassional 4 seater, with a rear hatch/roof and 'tunneled' rear glass that motor up to form a flush roof that add cargo and head room in back.
NEWS 9/12/2008- VW and Porsche may collaborate on a mid-engine sports car. Each will get a version, with both sharing platforms. For Porsche it's being called the new 914, slotted below the Boxster (mine reamins a replacement); Therfore, my design direction will add some mid-engine concepts.
