So now that the 992 is out and "every" car is the same width, what are everyone's thoughts on the new Turbo, GT3 etc. being that same width and not having massive hips compared to the base, S etc.
Is it confirmed all cars are the same width? Maybe the 992 GT cars will get even wider?

We can only hope but I'm pretty sure that prototype looks the same width as the Carrera

This one easily demonstrates the additional width. Look at the door and the sill, it’s got to be almost a foot wide. Looks like the running board of some SUVs.

That's a great shot, thanks. Look at the overhang on the left front fender...

Great Shots it does look really wide and that rear diffuser almost drags the ground.

I wonder if there's any chance they will go away from the swan neck wing on production cars despite the prototypes

991 generation had 3 "bodies" - RWD Carrera & S (narrow), AWD Carrera and GT3 (medium), Turbo and RS (wide).
992 eliminated the narrowest version, so it starts with the medium. But did it also eliminate the wide one for Turbo and RS?

That's a beauty, thanks for sharing. ...Do you have another rear picture just a little lower so we could see the tires on this fantastic machine.

New C8R to my eye looks very good, especially in the new gray and yellow livery. Looks pretty flat when cornering. I sat through Saturday morning practices and it was making good times, usually about 0.4 sec behind leaders. Does not sound as loud as the C7R and certainly quite muted as compared to the RSR.
