I've got to say this is the best thread I've come across in quite some time!
Thanks for posting all those awesome pics Dan!!
You're the man

Thanks Dan for those follow up pictures. Now we'll see if you inspired others to order custom color Turquoise blue for their 991s. Awaiting the cab with the new roof system .

rumor has it that:

1. that they couldn't get the LED headlights in this time around, but will be able to once the mid cycle refresh comes in 7 years

2. back up cameras are coming! (guessing, based on this forum's postings, for 2013 model year)

I think there is plenty of precedent for bulbous headlights on 911's:

Racing cars had the "bulbous" lamp covers. I like'em.

Dan, where's this picture from? Is it yours?

ADias

Not at all. Those are flat or almost-flat faced headlights. Bulbous means a 3D curved surface. Definitely a change from the classic design.

Hmmm....

People say the 996 was the bastard, but to me the 991 has a standard GM interior, and the exterior of a Nissan 370z, with a touch of Nissan Juke.

I still wish each night for a clean 993 C4S, but I've gotta say, as nice as the 991 may prove to be as a sports car, I much prefer my "simple" 996 C4S for its looks. Typically, I learn to love new designs a year or so in, so we'll see.

...but photos are beautiful. :-)

I can't claim credit for that PhotoShop job. It was posted several years ago on the Rennlist 997 Forum as we pondered the future of the 997.

Might tempt me to trade my Cayman S Cabriolet in on one of these. Quite nice!!

The car is stunning in pictures. Can't wait to see it "in the flesh".
