992 - Can/should we expect something like this? Too much futuristic for me but it looks in line with the upcoming Mission-E concept. PS. I couldn't find where to post this. So, moderators feel free to move.
I think it's a nice looking car. Who knows but I agree there will probably be some styling cues from mission e (and 918) in the rest of the lineup. Already the 718 has the porsche lettering in a black void between the tail lights (not all that well received mind you). I wonder if they'd plan to move the engine forward a little to allow for more of a diffuser as drawn. Doubt we'd see a hood like that and no way a central fuel filler. But overall I think it's quite attractive!
Bellisimo. The rear is begging for a 959-style integrated wing.
Great Idea. Would be nice to see Porsche do some "RETRO" Element"s like the Ducktail once in awhile even though I think all the Retro Styling is so very Rhetorical it's getting Silly and I'm getting sick of the whole RETRO-MOD thing. Some are complete Junk While others the owner has spent a few thousand hours completing the work. But what most of what I see is complete Gar-Bage in Southern California.
Though I wouldn't mind seeing an 959 Motive for the next 911, the 992 or whatever they are going to they call it?

PAG will not do this since they will loose all the retro gaucho 911 fans out there, who would not accept anything but the most subtle design updates in the 911. very unfortunate since this looks finally what amodern sportscar should be like - not just a slightly squashed beetle.
and i am saying this as an owner of a GT3RS.

Where do I sign up? I find it very, very interesting and a nice development of the classic shape. To me the 993 has been the best looking 911 while the 997/991 look like safe derivatives. I would vote for an aggressive development of the shape. It just needs a wing!

...but it's still very much identifiable as a 911. It even has a throwback design in the frunk lid. Kind of retro-modern.
