That rear was hit by the ugly stick.

Well done. Thanks for sharing. I too have some reservation about these lights. Looks like a cross breed between 991 & 997. Perhaps the final version would be different. Mark

This. Or hoping that without the camouflage tape it will look better.

I see active air intakes at the front in close position is this picture!
rear light completely covered but expect 3D style a la macan and cayenne.
the wing is bigger and in different shape than 991.1
central exhaust style looks like a new model is in the pipe for 991.2

At the risk of sounding like a broken record (for those of us who recall records), the tail lights on the 991.1 are the most beautiful elements of the design. We have yet to see what is hiding under the tape on the 991.2, it will be hard to improve on the beauty and simplicity of the current design.

Indeed. We are half a 911 generation away from the 992; this is the 991.2.

Thanks for sharing!

^cool. Side indicator moved to side mirrors? I wonder if this illustration is the magazine's best guess vs real deal.

The nose picture seems to show a character line that is hidden with tape. In addition the exhaust is something new to Porsche neither together a la GT cars or separate like rest of the line. I wonder if the turbo plumbing forced Porsche into this exhaust placement.

Hey, thanks for sharing!

Like every update we will all get used to it and or grow on us. I agree though, those tail lights are looking a bit large and not loving the R32 tail pipes. Front bumper looks cool. Showed others pictures from the thread (car people but not Porsche people) and everyone said the car in the pictures look exactly like yours. "What's wrong with you?" Lol.
