Sometimes. That was from last night.

Rolex Daytona 24 this weekend...........

The factory 911s are carrying the old Brumos Porsche colors.

So disappointing. It's a slab-sided 90s Pontiac with a nicer roof line, a 911 butt glued on to it, and sort of a facsimile of the Mission E nose. The Mission E's greenhouse sat down low between those fender tops and the waist was really narrow - although it looked like it was a fairly big car when next to people for scale.
And look at that cool double bubble roof on the prototype, that's long gone.

This weird ass thing says Beutler-bodied 356 4-seater. Yikes.

The "Mission E / Taycan" prototype was a really dramatic design, with a waist and hips and great lines. They've been promising the production car will look just like the prototype.

These are the more recent spy shots and renders of what's coming. Not at all the same car.... The side window shape is similar, but none of the rest of the proportions are there. Pretty ordinary in my view.

It still looks sleek, but yes, relatively pedestrian. The Window lines remind me a little of a Tesla's and I so wish Porsche would've stayed truer to their iconic Headlight shape. Those dramatic (and cool!) swoopy body panels were probably VE'd!

I do think it looks best from the back:

A lot going' on in there....

Erich Strenger did the graphics, advertising, and posters for Porsche.

I just listened to that 3x. Not ashamed that I was pretending to heal toe while crushing some excel spreadsheets and listening to that at work.
