Think their vision must have been obscured during the design process...

Re: Porsche '356' vision
Don't think your quote is quite accurate. Substitute "car" with 'shed' and the quotation is correct.

Re: Porsche '356' vision
looks like a Taycan Cross Turismo to me, slightly altered roofline. Don't look at that and think wow.

To my eye this design lacks the visual (& physical: Cayman GT4 RS architecture) lightness that is 356
It looks like one of the many virtual artist's renderings that litter the automotive web-sites and epitimises the lack of design vision that channels European manufacturers into heritage-pimping and continuation models. It's concerning that the European system seems unable to nurture a Tesla (Apple or Google for that matter)

Re: Porsche '356' vision
I like the phrase "heritage pimping" and there is a good deal of that about in automotive design. However, you reference Apple: the chief designer has been for several decades a Brit Sir Jony Ive.Hugo 356 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 27, 2023 10:33 am -

Re: Porsche '356' vision
What is the point and value of these designs?
Are they Design Office (sorry, Studios) exercises to a 'free liberated' brief, or what?
Do they find value in gauging responses to such cars, and if looking good make them in small quantities at £2 million a pop and all sold before the magazines can pump them up?
Anyway, they all look the same to me.
You need to have a Big Ego to drive that down the street around my parts...of the world, assuming they are road legal of course.

Re: Porsche '356' vision
Yes the idea of 357 is a good one but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
Too many "designers" out there that have learnt how to sketch and render but have no flare for style or elegance.

Re: Porsche '356' vision
Looks like a tart up exercise on an Audi TT to me
I get very bored with seeing things like this. The design team clearly have a view they are putting forward but seem to be guided by marketing/accounting rather than passion. Not everything from back in the day was pretty or efficient, so why not look to see how they can actually be a little different....
