992 is not a real 911
#16
Then again a 991 Carrera is barely any larger than, say, a GT86 (a few mm wider and a bit longer but shorter wheelbase and lower). Or narrower and shorter (but taller) than for example a 570S. Sure it has outgrown old 911's and doesn't compare to modern small sports cars like the Miata, 4C, Exige - but it's still not a large car and at least it offers a roomy interior for its size.

Though the car has grown quite a bit, the picture with the red side by side comparison is quite misleading IMO not only because the 991 is significantly closer to the camera, but due the angle of the shot as well.

Just look at the current M3. It has ballooned to ridiculous proportions.

They are the same distance from the camera. As measured from the FRONT!

I used the E36 figuring it was the first 6 cylinder and started production around the same time as the 964 911.

Oh, add wheelbase as an additional stat. The 964-991 wheelbase stays pretty similar. The M3 goes from go-kart to full size car.
