Default 991.1 front fender design versus 991.2
Does anyone know or care to speculate on why Porsche eliminated the 991.1's rising and falling arch line along the top of the front fender on the .2 models? This feature is highlighted graphically, in the PCM screen silhouette shot of the .1 Carerra, when you switch on the ignition, briefly. (The .2 models' top front fender line simply rises to meet the "A" pillar.)

When you say the front fender you mean the piece of the body above the front wheel right? I'm pretty sure they didn't change that part.

lf you look at it closely, you will notice that they very definitely changed it.

What are we supposed to be looking for? Can you post a comparison of exactly what you think changed?

I do like the 991.2 front bumper A LOT!! Cleaner lines by the brow-lights.

I think he's saying the digital image on the instrument cluster is different between the .1 and .2

Marketing images ..

In reality, whatever the image shows, the cars are the same design.
