curious as well, the extra length had to have helped somewhere. i never had a problem with the 997 rear leg room even with tall people (as long as they weren't ********)

would love maybe 2" more... would be perfect (even for ********)

My sense is that it might be slightly more leg room but I am sure some of the additional length also went to the front seats too.

Cheers

worst part about cab is seat backs are actually acute versus obtuse like the coupe.

yeah, i just remember top up... people had tons of head room because diff roof shape but were sticking out the car hardcore..

could only put small gf's in back w/ cab, but coupe everyone fit fine even 6 foot friends...


either way, im really excited about the 911, 6 months or so the 12' cayenne will be sold and ill replace with new 991 for sure.. sell the lotus too.. 911 is the perfect daily driver vehicle imo.. best ive ever owned. space when u need it, feels compact and sporty when u dont.

Leg room isn't the real issue, it's the head room. That's what makes sitting in the back of a 911 coupe uncomfortable for your average adult.
