Porsche @ SXSW

Just got back from SXSW in Austin and while I was there I popped by the Porsche Collaboration stand (mostly it’s about the 964 RS in the new Transformers movie) but took some pics of the other cars they had there too.

Thanks for posting - what did you think of the 357 concept in the flesh?

Hey Jeremy,

It had a presence for sure, but was completely out shone by the other cars (and the film starts) which is a shame... I think it has a really nice silhouette and I feel shares a lot of 356 DNA (its tiny too) but I don't think its obviouse where its design heritage comes from — unlike the Mini One, or the new beetle (not the current version) they both did (in my opinion) excellent jobs of revisiting and refreshing the iconic design, this one felt 2 or 3 iterations to far.

It was still a very pretty little car.

Looks better in those pics than the others I saw and would imagine better in the flesh - something just doesn't gel for me - it looks a bit to rotund and squished - bit like me
