It looked, and still does, like it's been fed with steroids throughout it's whole life: a chubby aerodynamic kit, a hunkered down stance and some extra muscle under the hood. Now, why not have something that goes along with it? It's the Lumma Sport Trailer... really?
Let's start with the workhorse first, just to refresh our memory. With some powertrain witchcraft, Lumma have managed to pump the power, of the otherwise unassu

Prices will start at £37,589 which means that it still will be the cheapest Porsche around and, because of it's new profile, it will be more accessible as well.

Some highlights: two flat-six engines with direct injection and a recalibrated chassis. It's 35 kg lighter than the old one
