Surprise from Zuffenhausen: Porsche is planning a completely new high-flyer above the 911 - sharper and more uncompromising than all previous...
The new Porsche boss did not hesitate long. Just since the beginning of October in the office, Matthias Müller already talking plain and accelerates like a man who has always erase the asphalt. It encourages this with a clever Audi cooperation related SUV project below the Cayenne ("Cajun"), talks about the future idea of a compact mid-engine roadster ("Even such a topic is one of Porsche") and puts the pressure on the series development of the super hybrid sports car 918 Spyder, which the Board has given the green light.
