  • Porsche 550 Spyder

    As one of the great on-again, off-again projects of recent years at Porsche, the sub-Boxster roadster, referred to internally as the 550--after the historic 550 Spyder--has at times straddled the cusp of both reality and cancellation. In a way, it continues to--but we recently sat down with Matthias Mueller, Porsche's CEO, and he said it's definitely still in the works. In fact, says Mueller, Porsche held a focus group last month to see if the time is right for the brand to dip its toe into what it calls the A-segment roadster market. He didn't disclose the results of the clinic, but did...

That means a new, sleek body shape, with what Mercedes calls "emotive design". It now looks dynamic and aggressive where the previous models looked slightly awkward, and it should appeal to male and female customers alike...

    Normally, electric cars look futuristic. Normally, they don't have a five-speed manual gearbox. And normally, electric cars are about economy, rather than fun.
