Obviously the Porshe would look even better in dogshit brown but that doesn't seem to be a colour option.

The Panamera is not a pretty car. I've always thought the proportions wrong. It's fast though. From the Porsche range, I guess the Cayman is the best looking, nicer than the 911.
As for the UFO car. My first thought is why angle the sides in? That immediately makes the cabin cramped. Still, it wasn't intended as a serious design.
You've got the names transposed by the way Martin.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I think it is quite a cool looking car. That's rare these days.
The UFO cars used gas turbine engine I believe.

Sorry, I don't see any resemblance there at all....Porshe Panamera
There are a couple I see on my way back from work some nights, a black one and a white one.
Never liked the styling of Porshes, except for the 928, but the Panamera looks pretty cool. I think because it reminds me a bit of the cars from UFO:

Fiat Dino 2+2 Coupe. Lovely looking car, with the Ferarri 246 Dino engine. Note the similarity to the original Aston Martin DBS.
Here's the Aston.
