911SLOW

...

To really get an idea of how long this car really is, picture it in cab form.

I think the rear is starting to look more 928ish than 911. Anyone besides me see that? (All they have to do is section the taillights into thirds vertically.)

Looks like there making room for a new flat 8

If they plan to stick a flat 8 on a 911 then it wont be a 911 anymore....

damn that's a long booty

I prefer rounder to longer. : )

Looking at the picture, seems the longer wheelbase might mostly contribute to more spacious rearseat... The tinted area at the back side window behind the b-pillar creates an illusion in the picture for a smaller cabin, though.

Lol. Maybe they'll leave them on for production to hide the distance between the doors and the rear wheels?

Sure looks far along, but I hear rumblings that change may be a-comin'.

Oh yeah: and those brakes look tinky.

Longer wheelbase helps reduce EPA requirements. The freaking Corvette is almost exempt based on track and wheelbase. Government motors and the $#@! EPA no doubt collaborated.

Honestly, no political axe to grind here but CJ sent that one right down the center and I had to hit it....

I think those wheels look like 20"s (judging by the appearance of the brakes). There is no obvious reference point in the photo for size, but it looks like they increased everything by 5-7%, even down to the doorhandles & mirrors to fool the eye. Hopefully it won't look as big as a GTR when seen in the metal.

So they still have the engine perched behind the rear axle. I thought they would have moved it a bit more forward.

The 100mm (4") wheelbase increase has been discussed ad nausea. Yeah, I do not like it. But I, and many here, are in the minority. I am sure the new car will be a great performer, it just won't be as go-kart as we like it.

The 991 spy shots are becoming closer to reality. The car has a stretched Jag XK look and the front hood is a pregnant/round (a la Beetle hood) to satisfy EU pedestrian regs. Oh well!

The rears look as big as the fronts (ok, no non sequitur pics related to that factual comment please )
