30 minutes, just black and white, sorta related to the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ’s sketch. Something 80's-like. This one is more RS200 than Porsche, I admit.

Anyone going to Radwood Austin?

Idk what but I get more of a Subaru vibe from it. In  could see a mid ship WRX Cayman competitor, being a thing.  As long as its like 10-15k cheaper.

New model suggestion—-

space-frame based, shared chassis with next-gen Cayman/Boxster, as a third variant...

PHEV. base Boxster/Cayman engine, and 20-30- ish KhWH battery pack derived from a fraction of the Taycan battery assembly. It would be heavier than Cayman/Boxster, but not nearly as massive as Taycan.

three or four modest motors. Two on the front, back-to-back driving the front wheels, but significantly for regen. No diff needed, steering-integrated torque vectoring and anti-torque-steer programming. (heck... could get 911-like 4-wheel-steering option.)

The rear drivetrain could go either way... traditional with a motor/starter/generator in the transaxle casing like a mild-hybrid, but with clutches that can disengage and run electric-only in combination with the front.  

Or something more like Koeniggsegg Regera… with two axle traction motors, supplemented by a power mixing device to add in engine power as fixed-ratio kinetic drive for higher speeds, otherwise the engine is either off or in generating mode.

Taking the design above as a baseline for a mixture of cayman, taycan, and maybe ever so slight nod to 914 or 904 Carrera GTS in a detail or two , but primarily a future-facing design that introduces some new elements into the Porsche design lexicon.

The Cayman and Boxster ICE or mild-hybrid cars would probably stick closer to tradition and 992's little sibling styling than this, which is the good thing about a space frame.

You and I think very similarly.
