Porsche's Front-Engine GT

After stirring up the faithful by doing the unthinkable (building the Cayenne SUV), Porsche is looking to add another model to its lineup that may appease a certain subset of Porschephiles, those long-ignored fans of the 928. Porsche has made no secret that it wants to use its V-8 engine developed for the Cayenne in other models, and a return to a front-engine V-8 2+2 GT, or even a 4-door sedan, is in the cards.

The new Porsche 2+2 would allow the Stuttgart factory to battle back against Aston Martin's DB9 and Ferrari's 612 Scaglietti. Porsche's twin-turbo V-8 would likely pump out 450-500 bhp and deliver that power to all four wheels. Sources say the platform for this car may come from the VW Group, with many pieces common to the Bentley Continental GT, which would help keep costs down.

It just looks like an ugly gt... Okay, maybe not ugly but repetetive. The design doesn't do the history justice. I think it would look good even if the lights didn't flip up just as long as they were different than that. I like the engine idea though. It's time for a front engine to start running things. Just so long as it isn't overpriced. Here's what I have to say to the desingers at Porsche... =>:loser: YOU CAN DO BETTER!!!
