From the windshield forward it's close to a 911. Not so sure about the rear or sides shots.

I love it, not so sure about the 350z door handles though!

Front looks okay - Not sure I like the rear.

one day porsche has to confront the flaws of the rear engine layout... you think the purist was making a stink because of H2O, wait till they move the engine forward a bit. I like this concept car... hate the name.

Porsche 911's have always been the functional super cars. This design throws that to the wind, unfortunately.

Try backing that thing out of a parking lot with no rear window.

The car of tomorrow will not have much glass rearward...all electronics to see backwards, sideways and nearly everywhere else.

Overall I like it. Not a big fan of the tail, but front is good start.

Reminds me of one of my favorite cars, the Lamborghini Miura.

Hold on, hold on!!

We have a team of French designers trying to design a super car, and a Porsche at that!

No disrespect, but I'll just say Citroen, Peugeot, Renault.......

Bugatti is of course the exception to the FULGY rule, but it is owned by VW these days!

+1 Remember that although Bugatti was French, it was founded by an Italian.
