I guess the rear would be more Porsche-like and better if it had the Panamera rear?

It's gotta be the tail lights, or at least the area around them. It's a rendering I guess but the wheels/tires are way out of proportion, but its not a bad start.

the source of that rendering is far down the beaten path. no way would porsche consider a rear that resembled one of their top competitors.

BTW, when is porsche going to lose these headlight housings!? they are so 90s - a sparkly, disorganized mess. they need to go with the flow and start having a minimalist design / leds. think Audi, BMW, Acura, etc.

I like the front, the rear is so-so. But looks good imo.

That rendering (I'm assuming rendering) seems like a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (front) and an Aston Martin Vantage (rear) had a kid...

Wasn't it a 928 in Risky Business???

Anyway, I think the rear is the stronger looking end personally. Alot of Aston there and thats a huge step forward for Porsche after the complete meltdown of the Panamera....

no thanks. Looks more like a Ferrari.

I'm a big fan of Porsche - I'm not a fan when they stray too much from the classical look.

Wow, it's a great chop job. Conceptually nice, but it's a bit lacking in execution.

No, subjective, and yes. And RB had a 928.

I agree with some of the other posts, it's looks more like a Aston Martin, Jag, Ferrari than a Porsche. Maybe Porsche will put the transaxle in the rear like the original 928.

A friend had two 928's (83 and 89, still has the 89), great GT cars to drive. Most solid Porsche ever made, not fun to work on but the motors are very robust. Still love the cockpit interior design and skypointing headlights.
