I think the new rear bumper shows in these pics more than I've seen it too. Hadn't really noticed the bulges on the lower sides behind the rear wheels. Not a big fan of the front. Kinda dig the rear.

the bottom two have DeSoto grills set vertically and are similar to mine (laid horizontally)!

Same. Had the standard bumper for 18 months and now have a sport bumper for the last 1 month and like them both. They both have pros and cons. Love what you have...

If Sport design bumper was standard and the shark mouth was optional, I bet 99% won't do the shark mouth. Most people have it b'cos it's standard.

I myself won't buy a 911 without the sport design bumpers, at least in the front. It is all about 911 legacy hence the high pricing.

Now 992.2 without sport design is my biggest fear b'cos I am at the top of the list to order GTS locally. Hope they reveal it soon.

992.2 pics with GTS badging on the rear. If correct, confirms the front and rear bumpers are the Sport Design.

There you go, my fears come true. Now the only hope is that they offer some painted bumper on the front lower trim in the middle. Or wrap it in the matching body paint.

For the first time, 911 looks better in the back than the front. Of course my personal opinion

Those are not real pics of a real car, but modified presspics of the 992 GTS

Dang photo shop got us again. Unless they know something we don't.
If it is the new Sport Design package, I like it better than previous. It updates the 992 unlike the previous dating it to 991. No offense to the folks with 992 Sport Design, just my personal opinion (as we all have one).

Sometimes the previous generation (or iteration) is a better looking car. 993 to 996. 991 to 992. And now it looks we’ll have to add 992.1 to 992.2 to the list.

These auto shows are really dying out...so many large automakers missing from one of the biggest auto shows (Porsche, BMW, MB, Audi, Jeep, GM brands besides Chevy...)

Depressing about the LA show… will be the first in 15 years that I’m not going to.

That’s a straw man argument since the likes were not there when the post I commented on was made. And if you think 11 people liking the post proves a “majority”, then my comment still stands,
