929 to be unveiled at the Detroit auto Show.

 

I hope that render is wrong. It looks alarmingly like a R8 to me!

 

i dont think its a modern 928. it looks to be a 2 seater, instead of a 2+2 like the 928.

as the article says, it's a more road going version of the 918.

i think posche knows that electric powertrain is going to be part of that future. this is why all these hybrid powerplants are coming out.

 

I like.

 

and I can only assume its going to extremely expensive so I guess it does not matter for me because my pockets won't be deep enough

 

Some guy merged an R8 + 918 is what it looks like - I'm sure Porsche is keeping a tight lid on the real thing. Some of the 998/991 renders looked pretty outrageous too compared to how the late spy shots are coming along.

 

Go figure, VWAG owns Audi, Lambo, and Porsche. I am sure there cars will be sharing parts and designs sooner then later with Porsche.

 

I think Porsche is trying to get some additional usage out of the R&D they did for the drivetrain in 918 Spyder. It is the same drivetrain.

I doubt the car will look anything like this, and I believe it will slot above the 911 series, but below the 918 spyder. So, if this model were to actually be produced, expect it to cost north of $200K.

 

Personally, I'm surprised to see Porsche taking this many design cues from the 918 and putting them in an "ordinary" car. My dealer thinks the new "928" would basically be a 2 door version of the Panamera.

 

That would make sense with the 918 drive train.

 

Look at the face of a Carrera GT and a Panamera together - just the front, please. Check out the center console of the the CGT and the 918 and the Panamera. There's a method to their madness - at least from the driver's seat and forward.
