Would You Or Would You Not
I think many (not all) of us would agree that the iconic body style of the 930 or 964 models are some of the best looking cars ever designed. Here's the question... If Porsche were to bring this exact body style back for a limited run and marry it with today's modern systems would you buy one?

Honestly?
To me, that body-style is one of the big factors in me coming LATE to the Porsche Party. I detest that car. I think it's ugly, and it seems to represent the "German Camaro", in that it's the car everyone wanted.... a sign that the purchasers were sheep. Nobody seemed to care about it's function (lackluster), only it's form, and it's symbolism of conformity. I once heard David E David refer to the '84 Corvette shape as a "half-used bar of Dial Soap"; I think this body-style is the "unused bar of Irish Spring". at BEST, it's a stretched beetle. A better-looking body style would be the 550 or the 356. That's something I'd buy. But never the 930 / 964. you asked. |
Soooooooooo I take it that's a no for you, right?
|
I don't feel that the modern styling has deviated much from that, but yes. Yes I would. :cool:

To use those body styles, you wouldn't get the modern systems, such as the very wide tires, water cooling, effective climate control, and the much better power of the current cars.

Singer is doing it. Bring money.

Never really liked the looks of the 964. Always been a mid-style guy. Carrera/SC etc. Though the early long noses are still my fav's overall.

I think Stroked had it right, Singer is creating these wonderful cars all day long with modern upgrades and beyond beautiful interiors. Certainly if Porsche wanted to, they could crank up their design and manufacturing machine to produce modern cars with this classic design for something more reasonable than $500k a pop. Think I'll start writing some of the execs at Porsche. If I get a response I'll post it.

If I win the Powerball !!!
If I had 3 wishes !!! Really who could afford them, Oil guys, Bill Gates. Trying to make them legal would be so cost prohibitive. I guess Porsche could do a little retro designing like Ford/Mustang Chevy/Camaro and put back some styling elements from the past into the new stuff If I had the money, probably wouldn't buy it, would buy the original and make it into some beast So it could sit in my garage, next to my 986 under a cover waiting for when the temp = 75, humidity = 50%, sun shining |

I love the 930 body style!

No new Porsche can deliver the feeling of an air cooled Porsche. 964, SC and Carrera cars were small, and tight inside. Both front fenders curved in to the headlights. No power steering. They were 800 lbs. lighter. Really, really bad A/C. Heater controls were levers between the seats. They weren't luxury cars. They were sports cars. Leather wrapped hvac vents were not an option. The 911 designs from last century are truly iconc. Today, they have the profile of a cockroach.

This is one reason I'm very pleased with my 993TT. It truly has modern performance, in a more classic shell. Had it almost nine years and still enjoy it greatly.
