It’s not every day that you get to see a parade of subtly camouflaged Porsche prototypes parked one behind the other on the streets let alone away from Germany and in San Francisco.

If you watch the two videos posted after the break, you will see the new generations of the 911 Convertible, 911 Turbo, Cayman coupe and Boxster roadster, none of which have been revealed yet.

Back in February, Porsche announced the development of three pure-electric prototypes based on the Boxster roadster, but aside from a single photo and the fact that the electric motors could produce up to 180kW/241HP, the Stuttgart-based automaker did not release any other details on the cars.
