Default 981 in Christophorus

Looks to be the best looking new Porsche. I think they did a good job with this one. The insert had a silver/red car with a red top. Sporty.

I like the new 991, but it did not touch me in any way, this one at least generates a little emotion. Looking foward to seeing one at the local dealer.

BEAUTIFUL car ! I like it MUCH BETTER than the Carrera 991. This looks like a true SPORTS CAR rather than a bloated GT..............

Waiting to see the new 981 in person too. So far it's more aggressive in exactly the right way. I'm thinking the Cayman will be impressive too!

It looks sporty in a Swiss Watch kind of way. Very nice execution by Porsche.

Beautiful car. Wow. I wish they woud post the HP/Wt so as I can compare them to my current 997.1. But with it being a 121 lbs lighter I suspect this will be an equally fast car. Love the simplicity as compared to the 991. Nice.
