Just a thought.............and that's all it is, just a thought.

The high front end of the proposed Porsche 913, as well as the new Lamborghini Asterion, both strongly suggest additional electric power up front.

I think what you are seeing are results of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration imposing new laws on vehicle manufacturers to reduce pedestrian injury during front impact. I recall reading an article where Porsche was struggling with increasing the height of the front bumper and rounding the front corners to abide by the new laws. Have you noticed how much higher/taller the front grills are, and how rounded the overall front fenders/bumpers are on newer cars? Probably makes it more challenging for engineers to make unique designs, or keep the looks of the bloodline.

Within company sister cars are common, but a hyper car, that is new for sure. I guess the idea carries over though, the Porsche carries a different flavor and a flat engine, while the Lamborghini has the v10 and electric.
