Interesting. It looks like a front engine but the scoop in front of the rear well looks like it could be for a mid-engine intake. I wonder if this was an early prototype of a 968 replacement before they decided to go mid engine?

Steven Tebo's garage in Longmont Co. Amazing collection of interesting cars. Also has <span>the hearse that carried President Kennedy's body from the hospital to the Dallas airport, a Rolls-Royce limousine used (and signed) by John Lennon, a Jeep driven by Frank Sinatra, a Batmobile and the taxi from "Seinfeld."</span>

If that 928 prototype had made to production (in coupe and cabriolet versions), I'd bet the trans-axle Porsche's would still be in the model line up today.
To me, It seems like the natural progression in body style

It looks different than the pics of the one in the porsche museum, if I remember correctly. The one there had a much more characteristic 928 look. Had they made the 928 in a convertible...I would have one!

This was apparently a custom work that had a 928 motor. Not made by porsche. Was up for auction (BJ) a few months back. I like it too, more 968-ish, but a little too boxster-ish for my tastes. :0)

Good catch Ryan, I thought they had just swapped out the wheels, but the original you posted looks like it has better integrated headlights as well. It also has different mirrors. I couldn't find a picture of that online. I saw where your original picture was posted then found the new picture on Flickr searching for Tebo Car Collection. He must have two?!

The pic Ryan posted looks much more like a 968 in the front, door handles and mirrors. It also looks like it has 993 cup wheels. I would really like the look if it had the rear or the blue 968 roadster... then again...it would pretty much be a 968 with an 8 cylinder engine, huh? :-)

I think it does look like the original Boxter prototype. Not quite as nice, but... They screwed up the original Boxter by using the 911 doors to save money. Typical bean-counter design by committee.
