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. |

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. |

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.
