Porsche C88

Automobiles

The Porsche C88 was a prototype family car that Porsche designed in 1994 for the Chinese market, in answer to the Chinese government's invitation to international manufacturers for a new range of cars. Porsche engineers finished it in four months, and it was shown at the 1994 Beijing Auto Show, presented by chief executive Wendelin Wiedeking, who learned his speech in Mandarin. Its four-door compact sedan body was unlike any other Porsche and carried no Porsche badge, and it had a single child seat to reflect Chinese population control policy. The Porsche Museum director Dieter Landenberger said the government took the ideas for free. It was also meant to widen the market for Porsche designs to India, where it also failed. The prototype is on display in the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
