Rendered Speculation: Porsche 928 successor
http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/18/r...928-successor/
If all the rumors, wishes and Internet chatter about a new Porsche 928 can actually make the car happen, we are all for it – there are few automobiles we miss as lustily as the 1992-1995 928 GTS. We do know that Porsche has seven new models in the works and a 928 successor could be one of them, but until we have something more substantial to go on it looks like we're in for a slew of crowd-sourced renderings.
The above is from Teamspeed forum member Wildspeed, who's done a thorough job of melding Panamera and early 928 cues with a bit of flourish around the front wheel wells. If it comes in a manual version we'll consider it. You can have a better look at it in the high-res image and let us know what you think of Wildspeed's 928 and the GT's speculators in Comments.

That digitally edited image looks great. I mean I've always had a soft spot for the Porsche's with "a bonnet" and the 928 looked ahead of its time from a design point of view, in my opinion of course.

Not feeling that rendering. The 928 should not resemble a Panamera or just a sleeker 2 door Panamera. That rendering basically looks just like a 2 door Panamera with some 928 cues thrown in. If that is all they are going to do then that is lazy designing and they should just call it a Panamera coupe instead of a 928. If Porsche is going to do a proper 928 it should have its own unique styling, own look, and be a totally separate model, just because it is based on a Panamera chassis does not mean it has to be styled like it. People and reviewers generally don't like the Panamera design so why would they try to duplicate it.
