See more pics of the Porsche concept
Straight off the bat, this isn't an official Porsche concept. Sorry.
It's a hypothetical Porsche supercar from Iranian designer Emil Baddal, and we reckon the guys in Zuffenhausen could do worse than take a bit of inspiration from our Persian friend.
They're hardly on a hot design streak at the moment, are they? The 911 is fine, but they pretty much got that one nailed back in the mid-60s, while the Cayenne remains a visual abomination and the Panamera hasn't exactly wowed aesthetes since its introduction earlier this year.
OK, those side scoops might be a bit much - according to Top Gear's scientific calculations, you could lose an entire child down there - but we're loving the high-haunched side profile and the mad diffuser-filled rear end. Kinda Veyron... but more so.
The reality of a Porsche hypercar might not be so far away. Back in May, we reported rumours that Porsche might be creating a road-going version of its Le Mans winning RS Spyder, effectively the successor to the Carrera GT.
There has still been no official word from Porsche on the rumours, but we're keeping our fingers crossed. And if you fancy making it look just a little bit like this, gents, we'll be plenty happy...

Too fat. Creates too much drag as are result. Make a low profile high reving flat-8 supercar, Porsche. Stop with the obese creations.

It looks a bit too mad to fit Porsche's design ethic. They like understated design cues. Even the Carrera GT - it was a desperately gorgeous car, but also quite simple in its body design. I'd give my right leg for Porsche to use this design though.

I quite like it. Some nice curves to it certainly. The side scoops are scary though, and yeah it is perhaps a little chubby looking, but then i always thought that about the 10.000 different 911´s

maybe you can make a little link to the photo gallery. Mainly because the photos are already on the site. Cool car anyway. Maybe the color....it's more correct for a pair of shoes, but this is a personal thing. Really cool
