Not so!  I read an article in either the June or July issue of "Classics and 
Sportscars" that stated that good ole Mr. Porsche himself designed a three 
passenger car back in the '30s.  Never saw production.  In fact, the article 
made a point of deflateing McLaren hints that they thought the design up.
