Automobile Magazine's Porsche 551 Speculative Rendering

Automobile Magazine just released this story saying that the project to make a 2 seat entry level sports car was still alive at Porsche. We first heard about this project a few years ago when Volkswagen had announced the Bluesport roadster concept. The idea was that the car would be co-developed by VW and Porsche to save on development costs while still providing each brand with their own model. The economic collapse then effectively killed everybody’s niche market sports car ideas. The word is that the project is now back on for after Porsche has finished development on all new 991 model 911 variants, the 918 Spyder and their new 960 Ferrari fighter and several other projects. Head over to Automobile Magazine to read all the specific details.
