Re: New Porsche Hybrid (Much cooler than Cayenne Hybrid)

I really like that car. Very modern design while still looking very much like a Porsche (more Porsche-like than the Carrera GT, imo). I hope that design spawns some affordable sportscars in the lineup.
If this prototype were to come to production in it's current form, I fear that it would cost well in excess of $250k.
It is an interesting design, better sorted than the GT and with cues from the 917/956, etc.
Who knows what this concept will lead to? It could yield a GT replacement in the $500k region or/and a future roadster at a much lower price point.
In any case, I agree with Spider, hybridization will yield extra complexity that has no place in a leisure sports car. But these are the days we live and car companies feel that they must appease the cuckoos.
