- It's not a prototype, it's a design study by someone who was not affiliated with Porsche

- It's been posted here within the last week

- It's been posted before that numerous times

- No, it's still not a factory prototype

- Have i mentioned yet that it isn't a prototype?

The museum in vegas has the transmission and I have the rest. It's posted on the internet so it must be true. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

The Murène was a design study by Heuliez.
The Tapiro was a design study by Girogetto Giurgiaro.
The Vizcaya was a design study by Hispano Alemán.
The XP978GT was a design study by GM design studio.
And there was a design study by Albrecht Graf Goertz.

None of these are Porsche prototypes; a prototype precedes the production model, and these design studies used a production chassis as a base.

Nailed it. These were all design studies.

Three were, in my opinion, interesting—and you nailed the top three in order of their success, IMHO (as bolded).Tapiro was fantastic, while the Vizcaya was also quite elegant.

With that said, the design of the team under Butzi Porsche only gets better with each passing year. At least, to these eyes.

its just my opinion but butzi porsche had nothing to do with it?
its piech? sibling rivalry?
and guigiaro was on a fishing trip after big marlin, like lee marvin fishing off cairns.
the great barrier reef was in wolfsburg not stuttgart?

the rest of them don't count. design irrelevancies.
but g g is not in the same league as the other awfulness.

It looks like a cross between a pinto, gremlin and pacer, but still ugly. The Chalon and Rayco kits were much better looking and even those over time do not look as good as stock or the GT look.
