my guess is that PCCB would become one price for all ... be interesting to see when the .2 goes up on the configurator!

Wow, like poetry.

Hmm I can't tell here but the grill doesn't look vertical?

Wishful thinking I fear. The pic is not crisp enough to distinguish vertical vs horizontal slats and unfortunately, I don't think there's any reason to assume they're horizontal. This is probably the first complete reveal of the taillights though. I thought that they'd lose the 991.1's sleekness, but they may be ok after all.

I think we can all agree Porsche is amazing at marketing... this is a truly creative "accidental" unveiling... !!

First image I've seen of those wheels, they look interesting if perhaps a bit hard to clean...

At the entrance of the Porsche Museum/Factory in Zuffenhausen, and in Goodwood 2013-style...

Thanks...just trying to put in words what I think the stylists are trying to convey ...they think these things through to excruciating detail ....but ....many times marketing walks in and mucks it up ...with input like " you expect me to sell that ? ...it needs more aggressive ridges and warts to appeal to the ADHD fanboi crowd on the internet " ...ergo the new front and rear of the 991.2 vs the .1

I really don't like the head lights. Ruins the front. Tuna eyes on a hot girl can destroy her self esteem. I really hope that's not the final build.

Those are the LED headlights. You are looking at the final build ...
