Default 991 in Silver, barely any disguise

Hope this isn't a repost. Porsche 911 991 in silver, likely to be a popular color choice for many next gen 911 owners...

I'm liking what I see. The new one definitely seems to have the present gen's GTS/C4S flared rear, so maybe the upcoming C4s will even be wider. Not a bad thing.

I think when the remaining camo comes off those lights, the tail-lights are going to look very skinny, at least by current 911 standards.
Side view and A-pillar look kinda "Cayman-ish" to me. Can't wait to see it unmasked. Next month in Frankfurt, right?

side view mirrors have more 993ish to them than the 997. i like it. i wonder if their position on the a-pillar is offset like the 993 as well.......

Showed these and some other recent pics to my wife and she said it looks like the current car. I pointed out the side view mirrors, loger lenth and so forth...she said it wtill looks a lot like the current car.

I still say that the 991 will be a great looking car and extremely great performer. Can't wait for a few year to see the GT versions of the 991.

Stop posting pictures of the 993 in this forum. I want my 96' 4S back. IMHO the 993 has the best looking *** in the history of 911's including the upcoming 991.

Mike, I agree with both you and your wife.
