More evidence of Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake?
In order to put real cars in video games, game studios need to buy licenses from automobile manufacturers. Remember that Cayman shooting brake/breadvan mule recently spotted on the streets of Europe and supposed by many commenters to be a fake? It's been captured in Forza Motorsport 3.
While this doesn't mean we'll be seeing such a conveyance on the roads any time soon, or that it is in fact a Porsche product and not a tuner special, gamemakers Turn 10 would need to have spoken to Porsche (or whomever is responsible) about including a car that no one even know about a few weeks ago. If this is all real then, after the unlikely Panamera, could the next item on Porsche's list really be a mid-engined mini wagon? Hat tip to Mike.

Not a snowball's chance in Hell this is a real car or ever will be--beyond a sheik deciding to commission one.
That said--what I wouldn't do for this car if it existed.

I hope the production car looks exactly like this.
I really want to see what people are willing to buy as long it has a Porsche badge on it.

the motion blur gives it two doorhandles for one door. could catch on me thinks, especially if a car maker has poor build quality like a peugeot, you know just in case.

What is going on at Porsche?
Did Chris Bangle get a job there?

Or they could take a regular Porsche build an attachment for the back of it that would work for the sensors to get it to work in the game.
I still contend that the original 'real-life' shot is from the game too...

You know, they fashion a truss to it, that would give the computer image generator an outline/silhouette of the vehicle, then the rest is filled in by a graphics designer. I think the first picture was a low resolution on purpose. I have seen crisper lines, with better shadows/reflections in the video game stills. I say both images are from the game.
The truth is there is no car....

A mid-engine, rear-drive wagon. I don't care what it looks like, that's just plain cool.

Looking back at the original spyshot, I'm wondering if that's a videogame rendering, too...
Take a screenshot, add some blur, and say it's from a cameraphone.
