    Porsche's electric city car concept

    Not bad at all. Makes way more sense than the Cayenne. Light, compact and powerful!

    I saw a couple of cars looking at it so its likely just brand comfortable.

    I saw

    a VW Polo Rear
    Audi A3-esque rear
    Opel Astra front
    Isignia side

    That's not the important matter though. This car will be the new Prius of LA and will likely replace that damn, and possibly dangerous, Toyota.

    200km is not bad for a CITY CAR however unscrupuluos dealers will sell it as ANYTHING. I have a Smart Car out my way and a Peugeot 107 around my way and both cars are supposed to be city cars with low top speeds, gear ratios all over the place and tyres that will flip you over potholes and ditches.

    I like it and I like the idea of it. It's nice to see Brand Leaders taking a positive and constructive approach to the future of motoring.

    I like the idea of fast Electric city cars, though I think this is some sort of lame hoax.

    The Front is Porsche lights on a new Hyundai Coupe
    The rear is directly taken from a Scirrocco.

    I considered that but it's a lot of work for April Fools.

    It doesn't sound like something Porsche would do to me, but despite the possibility of it being a joke, I like it! :)

    The front looks sweet and the back looks exactly like a Scirrocco, which I like for some reason. :)


    Jesus, just noticed the link to the Aston Martin Cygnet at the bottom of the page....
    Now THAT looks like an April Fools (despite it being nearly a month old).

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
