If the exterior has you on the "fence"..... the interior is a cold hearted killer.
It's shocking how bad that interior is.
It's no longer a 911.

I like the back and the front, what I can't stand I how much bigger the car looks compared to the 991.1. Plus cant get over the *** in the center of the consol for reverse and drive. They should have buttons instead like Ferrari has.

After a day of sinking in I am still underwhelmed. The interior is awful, as are the black front and back bumper. The overall shape resembles the Nissan 350Z.

Seems like the Porsche design team tried to round out the back-end while doing the exact opposite up front with straight lines.
Underwhelming indeed.

Absolutely agree. I thought this was kind of strange. How they took a lot of straight lines from the 80s, but then the back is this bulbous hump.

Yup - I've been saying that forever.

But I certainly got the brake light wrong - I just really didn't think that was the production version...

I'm sure we'll like it more in-person.

At this point in its evolution, the 911 should be getting smaller and lighter, not larger and heavier.

The 992 is now 207 lbs. heavier than a 991.2 S

Curb Weight
992 Carrera S - 3382lbs
991.2 Carrera S - 3175lbs

I got tired of listening to Webber and Mauer and Achtleiter sucking each other off. I only lasted 5 minutes anyway, I hate the new car, inside and out.... Porsche, typical, have a GREAT design in the 991 and ruin it
