It would become a hybrid.. but still remain a slow car.. now if you strapped a hairdryer to front of the air intake. That could do something.

I believe the first Porsches to break the 3000 lb barrier, dispute the all aluminium body. Those engines were boat anchors.

The teledial wheels were by far the favorite of the 928 owners when I was in the Porsche Club of America years back.

They always remind me of one time we were running at Sears Point (Sonoma raceway now) and I'm following a guy in a 928 S4. We are coming up to the final turn, and he is going way too fast and goes straight into the tires.

It is kinda odd looking. But hey, they are a bargain at only $430k!

I'm not a fan of SUVs, however this in the flesh looks nice, hides its size well and sounds fantastic..

I've seen a few different colours, not one bad one yet..

I would have bought an FR-S breadvan in extreme preference to what was offered.
