Default Spied! Porsche 911 Turbo S Smiles for the Camera

991 Turbo also spied on... looks interesting, like its rear wing MUCH better than the ugly one on current Turbo.

hey the side vents look real this time.
those round fog lights look hideous. Why do they bother?

The 'fog' lights are merely for styling--they're worthless. Will always help differentiate it from the new GT2. The wing is still in camouflage.

+1, the rear wing doesn't look finished. But I'd really like to see Porsche bring back the classic Turbo's whale tail look. I also wonder if even the fog lights are part of the disguise...

I'm sure the new one when it debuts will look a lot better than this one. The side vents really haven't looked good since the 993 imho. Then they were sculpted into the fender itself in a beautiful manner. This is just so, well, utilitarian....

I agree, why don't they do something like R8 for side vents?

That car still looks heavily camo'd and I wouldn't hold my breath that the details like the wing are the final iteration.

Looks like the entire front end is disguised. I think we're in for some surprises when we see the final version (at least of the base Carrera) next month.

Default 991

The more I see shots of the new car the more I like 997's and 993's
