This all sounds very impressive, I'd love to know what Porsche are developing here!

It's not like I didn't know that Porsche had a GT coupe up their selves. Porsche has invested astronomical amounts of money into the Panamera and you can bet your ass that they will be using it's platform, factory and technology for more than one model. I didn't really expect that they would be testing the Coupe this early. They will likely price it in the 100k-250k region in order not to cannibalize Cayman and 911 sales. Hopefully it will be a 599-ish competitor. Porsche is missing a car in the upper 100k spectrum.

Is that Porsche answer to SLR and F599 GTB?

Wow, that old chop is pretty hot looking. I agree that Porsche is missing a car in that upper 100k range, and that coupe would be a pretty sweet cruiser.

I agree. Hope it's not just a fantasy though, such a car would be magnificent, especially for Porsche.

Pretty much. Their sub 100k line up is going to be pretty crowded when the Panamera arrives. The Cayman, 911 and Panamera will be in the same price range. It it only logical that the GT Coupe is priced well above 100k. I also think that there is a big market for a more expensive and exclusive Porsche.
