Even Porsche's concepts are dull to look at.

OMG



Porsche have finally designed a car I like the look of, and they've come up with a different name for a change. Must have taken them ages to think up 918

It's a concept.

Concepts are supposed to be where the designers get to exercise their freedom of expression, create fantasy cars that will naturally be toned down if they go into production, but for now can be used to show unbridled creativity on the part of the lead syylist for an manufacturer.

Or not, in this case. Porsche's designers, when let loose to create something fantastical have come back with a Max Powered Boxster, yet another variation on the same, tired theme.

All IMO, of course.

Max. Powered. Boxster.

Which, if it reaches production, will look like a Max Powered Boxster with all the Max Power stuff taken off.
