Porsche? How do you figure? Stylistically and conceptually it is

In terms of the name, well, there's the Isle of Man TT race, and NSU (another company that was rolled into Audi) used to have car that bore the name TT.

And a 911 came from where? ;-)
I used to own a number of 356s and the view from the inside is nearly identical. I would have thought that the fairings on the Lemans car would be obvious as an inspiration for the designer. ;-)
