    Dear Joost -- sincere apologies sir! 

    Perhaps this more recent RS Spyder video would have been more appropriate to make the point...

    These just surfaced on Instagram. According to the poster, this is a full production car.

    No clear shot of the rear lights unfortunately!

    I actually think that the front of this car is the weakest part of the design.

    Don't think so, Enmanuel, IMO it doesn't look bad at all. And at least it has a place at the front, where to put the plate. Smiley

    Since the front wheels are powered by the electric motor, a neat party trick would be to shutdown the gas engine and spin the fronts only

    True, it's good that they've at least designed it with a plate in mind. But I guess I'm just spoiled by living in a country where there is no front license plate.

    Those black painted pieces could be a 20k option 

    The alternative would be to install exhaust stacks like you see on big rigs.................

    I have no clue who this clown is, but in this pic you can see the difference in size between a 918 and a (butt ugly) Panamera (which belongs to the clown, I guess).

    They are different. Intake is different, headlights will be different too, design lines are different. 918 is looking like 917 and 904 to me. 100% that porsche design studio havent even looked on the old ferrariindecision

    Same, definitely not. What I'm trying to say is that Porsche must work on their own strong design signature. Like they did with 911.

    Porsche never had stronger ''design signature''. They are leaders in terms of design purity and brand identity. All other manufacturers are still swimming in muddy waters trying to find their way. Porsche has reckognized that they need to stick to 911 signature all over and it's very well implemented all over the model range.
