This sketch was not by porsche and was debunked (i'm relieved the 998, whenever in the far future it would be introduced, will definately not look like this piece of @#%$#)

"Do not adjust your screens. You are not looking at the next generation Porsche 911 Type 998, as some around the web have erroneously speculated. A tip sent into our sister-blog, Autoblog Spanish, reveals the origin of this sketch, which is part of the online portfolio of conceptual designer Tommy Forsgren. His website actually has sketches of German cars from every ilk: Porsches, BMWs, Mercedes-Benz and even Volkswagen. Perhaps that's because Forsgren currently lives and works in Munich, Germany. Regardless, he is not affiliated with Porsche but actually designs for BMW's DesignworksUSA."

How come I'm not surprised his day job is designing bimmers...

 

i actually kinda like it...not sure about it making a good 998 but it atleast seems to take porsche in a new direction while still looking like a porsche

 

cockroach crossfire comes to mind! face it, 911 will never deviate from the classic lines. 997 sets a clear message -- classic lines and headlight is what people want. I think 998 will focus on engine improvement and DSC (if not introduced in 997)

 

First thing I thought was NO WAY, then I turned my head to the side and said WELL?!!

 

If you look at Four-Thirty's post of the front end, it looks a lot like the F430 in his avatar...

 

AHAHA you are right Chris!

I happy it's not an official pic...I was about to die

 

LoL I just noticed that too, I wish I was good enough to do that... But my idea of a car sketch is a rectangle with two circles for wheels

 

i hope that it will look nothing like that

 

i hope that it will look EXACTLY like that.
Then my 997S will be worth a lot when I'm done with it

 

Looks like a widened, chopped, slammed Cayman

 

good artist.

 

His Cayman sketch.. I think it looks hot.

 

cayman sketch looks good to me.
