Default 991 GT3 wheelbase

Looks stretch limoed to me based on this latest spy shot of the 991:

Looks big, but that pic is actually not bad compared to some of the others posted recently which looked really awkward.

Those lateral seams in the roof still intrigue me... I'm guessing (hoping) they indicate a modular center section that can be option specced to suit the buyer's taste: fixed steel for cost, tilt-slide sunroof for lux, fixed alloy or CF for the track junkies, or removable glass for the Targa.

Looks like more elaborate movable rear spoiler with lower section just above light bar now able to raise along with vents. Humorous that they still feel the need to run with the faux side intakes.

not digging that rear end at all ... although the popup wing looks intriguing... not loving those Audi TT style mirrors much either!

you think? - they look more like the Audi TT to me ... I liked the 993 asymetric mirrors!

That's what I thought as well, more wheelbase, more overhang??
With more wheelbase, moving engine forward, rear overhang should be less!

Judging from the recent spyshots..
I think that the 997 will be the new 993 classic...
