What a shame, two cars ditched.

I'm paraphrasing, but Frank conveyed the following in Austin: "For sure we will make the right choice and deliver the appropriate product to the GT model customers that will be engaging to drive."

I can assure you that the 992 - assuming it's called that - will have the following attributes vs. the 991:

Faster
More refined exterior aesthetic
More luxurious and technologically advanced/integrated interior (think 918 center console, new Panamera)
More efficient
More expensive

All we have to do is wait.
Hopefully not

More Bigger
More Heavier

Three different exhaust and rear facia configurations between the three. Interesting.

Probably those too.

A little bit bigger, a little bit heavier (more content, though).

It does look like the cabin is pushed farther forward and that is shortening the front bonnet. Not a fan of that look. It's starting to look like a smaller version of the Panamara. I loved the "long hood" look of the previous cars. Not really interested in this one...

a result of the engine creeping forward perhaps?

(i'm a sucker for a long hood too)

Loving these renderings and the single light across the back from the 4 and 4S.

Proportions don't look any different than the .1 if you compare pics side to side. Wheelbase looks the same, door position looks identical and overhangs look near identical.

I agree, the pics can make things look out of proportion.

Well that could be true either way. It will be interesting to see the final result. It will be difficult to move the engine farther forward in the car's architecture and not do something with the demissions o the other parts...unless that make the car longer. Current RSR architecture has the engine farther forward...

Maybe at some point Porsche will do away with the rear seats which barely serve a purpose.. that would free things up a bit

Don't see any tie downs of sorts on either car? Not that it would have saved them completely but may have help.
