Holly moly. These guys are all out. Totally new thinking. Hmm...I wonder if it is way too fast, too much. We'll see. You decide. Here is the scoop I read:

· From pick-up to coupe in 10 sec.
· Off road Porsche Turbo
· 250 km/h on all-terrain tires
· 420 gas horse power
· By artist Rinspeed – Word premiere in Geneva

RINSPEED IS BACK in the fast lane – dramatic, innovative and aggressive as always. At the coming Geneva Motor Show, the beginning of March 2003, the company will launch the Rinspeed Bedouin, a...yes, what is it actually. Rinspeed itself says a unique and revolutionary Multi Utility Vehicle concept.
The car is based on at Porsche 996 Turbo – it comes with a body design never seen before – it runs on a gas engine – top speed is 250 km/t – on all-terrain tires.

it just looks like a shitty photoshop

 

more like a shitty 3-d program, I bet it will look sweet, without the wheel gap and 4x4 tires. And that back is funny looking

 

If it looks anything like those pix Ill be sporting wood to get it !!!! HOT !!!

 

I don't like it - maybe it'll end up just like the IS300 Sport Cross?

 

kinda weird...kinda cool

 

nothing is sacred

 

happy holidays 1sicklex

 

The Porsche Pacer at a dealer near you ... bleh.

 

The pictures don't look real to me. Anyways, if Porsche is going to make one more vehicle other than pure sport car, I think the only choice should be a 4-door high performance sedan, so a Boxster, 911, Cayenne, and the new 4 door would make the Porsche model lineup more complete. I don't understand why Porsche want to make some other bullshit cars.
