991 vs 997
Here is a comparison. Not perfect, but close. One can see that the door design is different and there is more space between the door and the rear wheel, which seems to indicate an increase in wheelbase.
By increasing the 911 wheelbase it appears that PAG is dressing a Cayman in 911 skins, allowing for a mid-engine setup. This may be done for motorsports reasons to race a mid-engine car in 911 clothes. I suspect that the road cars will still be rear-engined w/ a longer wheelbase. Whatever the case, I suspect future 911s will drive quite differently.
