Did they let anyone sit in it?

No, it was not allowed.

I'm actually relieved to read that. I declined the offer to attend because I was told that no sitting in the car would be allowed (I'm 6'4").

Sometimes Porsche says one thing and then something else happens.

I love most of the looks of this car, but the hybrid doesn't make sense to me for a performance car.

The bottom line is the car was setup to run the ring, around a normal track after a couple of laps your batteries are going to gone and it will end up being a slug.

I hope they end up putting a 600hp engine in this body and remove the electric motors, batteries, generators, etc...

Who cares what mileage this car gets? I wouldn't care if my CGT got 5 mpg, I don't drive it enough for it to make a difference. I will also be willing to wager that no one who buys this car and drives it in a spirited manner will ever achieve over 40mpg.

I was offered to view the car but decided this car is definitely not for me, I hope Porsche will get back on track doing what they do best.
