Good questions, I have no clue, this is all I could find.

I like the front end and mirror design though.

It'll be interesting to see how dimensions and weight have changed.

Loks like centerlock wheels. I wonder if the entire model range will feature this "improvement."

I like the look of it although I see a hint of Audi in the front ... Rear looks a little more muscular ... Will be interesting to see what the specs are not too mention the range as well, will therre still be wide/narrow body, S as well as Carerra, power, manual and PDK?

Who is betting the the GT1 block is now history ...

Totally agree... Cant think of another engine with such a pedigree...

I fear the mythical RS LE could be it's swan song ...

So did you just find this on the web or is this some kind of actual photo of the 991?

They just redo the front bumper and move the side mirrors?! I think it's a semi-poor PS job myself.

It'll be a version of the current 9A1 engine w/410-415 HP, 32x lb/ft of torque, 75-100 lbs less total weight, w/active spoilers for and aft, and regenerative braking option. Body will be a tad wider, less over-hang with the engine pushed a few millimeters more forward. Cabin will be roomier as well and the dash/console will mimic the Panamera.

The photo has been around for awhile and is photo-shopped but I'm sure it isn't that far off.
