I had never seen this Porsche before...

I was walking around and saw this...and knew I had to take a picture.

I was thinking it might be a mule test car...perhaps a new 3.8???

That is the new Porsche Colt 988. It is apparently going to have a 4L horizontally opposed 6 incorporating DFI and DSG, standard. I've heard it will produce somewhere around 780HP but that is not confirmed.

I don't know. This could be the replacement for the 911, called the Colt as a subtrifuge.

I think this is just indicative of Porsche's philosophy of evolution, rather than revolution. It may look like a Colt but they have just affixed a Porsche emblem to the grill and are now going to slowly rework that classic design to the back of the car. Too bad you don't have a side shot to see if the wheelbase is closer to the Cayman or 911. Probably the attempt to bring the 911 to a new level.....

Sharp eye!

I heard it will be a twin turbo, mid engine, awd and a hybrid that gets 45mpg in the city and 60mpg on the highway - using the electric motor only up to 150mph. Oh..and supposedly the weight is only at 2200lbs.

Inside sources @ Porsche tell me that Colt is the secret code word for "extra ponies". Expect this one to be a real barn-burner!

Got to admit, those Porsche engineers are perfecting the art of mule car camouflage. I had to look hard to see the Panamerica lurking beneath the blue skin.
