Porsche ALSO could not build their concept car.

[balthazar]

For those con-stant-ly moaning GM teases us with "concepts they never build"... here's some horizon-widening.

Porsche is not usually my cup of tea, but I've always liked a number of the 911 variants.  The concept 'Mission E' was pretty interesting to me also- so low, some pretty interesting rims and nice variant of the production 911.  And it worked really sleekly as a 4-dr (unlike the ungainly Panamera). Pretty cool looking.  And if anyone could build a concept car 95-99% as shown, it should be Porsche.

But nope.

 

What the hell???  The Cacophony of Screams over the Buick regal-esque "cladding"/flares is going to break eardrums. How {sputter} how did this happen? Where are the suicide doors? The wild rims? The ground-hugging stance? The BODY COLORED FENDER FLARES???

 

ARE THEY JUST COPYING GM HERE??

That is the Taycan Cross Tourismo hatch/CUV, not the sedan.

You didn't think they were going to use "Mission E", did you?

Could pass for a GM product....

There is the regular Taycan sedan that is not cladded or lifted and has a traditional trunk.
