Very interesting.

A much bigger wing at the back and when up, it's got a kind of Chiron like light blade across the back.

Also, the rear window looks much deeper.

Creased frunk. To my eye it looks like cabin has moved fwd. Is it to make space to continue moving engine fwd?

It definitely looks like the rear 1/2 looks a bit longer.

The front looks remeniscent of the 993 thanks to the squared off and flatter frunk lid. Think they're clearly going for an inspired by the 993 look...

More like G-models with the straight seam where the front bumper meets the fenders and frunk. The ET CHMSL is another blast from the past

That front looks even wider and overhang looks like it goes on forever...not really liking that part. Although I do not see any charging ports, so that's good...

I believe the article indicates there will be hybrid models. We need to find a good translator!

Anyone see this article... http://gtspirit.com/2017/02/01/spy-s...rce=feedburner

Says even the GT3 will be turbo charged but NA/MT 911s will still find a place in the model range as special editions.

Looks are subjective, but I like the 991 look a lot more. But I said that about the 997 when I saw the 991, so my opinion is subject to change.
