Default New 991 Cab Pics

I don't think these were posted before. On this computer it looks like a traditional fabric top.

There is a lot of speculation that this will be a hard top. The top is so tight that I could see the possibility.

It will be interesting to see the front end without the camo. The car looks L-O-N-G in these photos, though.

That extra length could be necessary to accommodate the folding roof.

interesting - it is apparently a wide body car with narrow body rear wheels?
looks very odd, it is like 3 inches into wheel well over there at top. does not look right at all.

i would not care much of how much longer it is, it is still imho shorter than 430 scud but where its center of gravity is now and if they kept old frame or got new one and moved suspension points around.

if none of that was messed up too much then it will be a good car, or, well, who knows.

from other perspective if they made it more caymanish in handling, it will probably find its true fans too. progress is inevitable and resistance is futile.

we will just feel what 993 folks felt when 996 came out. but now we all live with 997 cars more or less happily. so, none of that is an end of the world.

Porsche is not going with a folding metal roof. It will continue as before.

The car does look long to me, especially if view without the illusion of the fake turbo side air intake before the rear wheels.
