Absolutely love it, bravo porsche just lose the wheels and the green interior trim and its perfect.

Seems very futuristic but I am sure we will manage, I think they will tone it down a little.

In the press release it says Nürburgring Nordschleife time is below 7.30 and faster than Carrera GT.

Porsche, please put that into production. This is the future of supercars. This is the one opportunity for you to get ahead of all competitors and show once again how it's done. By the way, you have just designed the coolest retractable cooling ducts aka rocket launchers imaginable.

Today I'm very proud indeed to be German.

How can Porsche say their time around the N-Ring is under 7:30 if they've never built a full production version?

I saw that also in the presser but I really did not give it that much thought since I bet it will be faster than 7:30. The only part of all the info that has been put out there is the 70+ mpg, that it struck me like oooooooook. I just see that like when the Chevy Volt prediction of the 230 mpg. Having that said If a real down to earth user would experience over 40mpg in the real world I would call it a massive achievement and wow just wow.

As far as technology goes, I'm stoked. A Hybrid car from Porsche that can run the Nordschleife under 7.30. Wow!

As a successor to the legendary Carrera GT - Not so much!

The car looks very small, too small for a supercar (think Enzo, CGT, 911 GT1, SLR, XJ220). The headlights look out of place, and makes the car look quite lame, not aggressive enough. However, I do love the ass, it reminds me of the GT1, also, with the RS Spyder wheels, it aint that bad.

I've already had someone asking me what this car will 'lease out for'. "Ballpark it" he said.

Would love some small hi revving v8 twinturbo engine like the good old le mans 3.6l tfsi.

I'm officially in love with this car, best car of Geneva.
