That was the H50, a 'four' door 928 concept car. It was a secret until a few years ago, they rolled it out at a concours. They should have kept it hidden in the basement.

Not all Porsches were brilliant. But you can sometimes see a consistent ,maniacal engineering philosophy of complexity uber alles. An example from long ago - Porsche ,yes the Dr. himself, designed a gas/electric hybrid way before it was fashionable. Many of the characteristics of that vehicle continue to this day - check out the "Porsche Elephant". I am not joking !

Also, nice pull. It is very Garth/Pacer/esque.
