Why do you think this is sport design? Given the active flaps isn’t it more likely to be the standard?

 

I think it's assumed because it has the aerokit.

 

As much as I want to justify the purchase of my 992.1 being better than holding off to wait for the 992.2 - Porsche has never failed to create timeless designs that stand the test of time despite negative perceptions upon release. The 992.2 will be a better car in terms of design (not relating to hybrid variants). It has been the same for the 996, 997, 991, and I'm certain the 992 will follow the same trend.

 

I'm justifying my 992.1 purchase with fact I'll have a brand new car delivered in January of 2024. Eliminate any frustrating production delays and hard to get allocations on a 992.2. And by January 2025 I'll be all set to order a brand new 992.2 after the dust has settled.
100% agree with you that the 992.2 will be a better variant of the 992.1. Porsche has never failed to produce a better 911 and don't think they'll start with the 992.2.

 

That's not a handsome car. I agree that we're losing something by moving the turn signals into the headlights.
I am sure that it is faster and everything up front "does something", but if you're a 992.1 owner right now, you should be feeling pretty good about your depreciation prospects.

Yes, every 911 generation is a "better" car than the last. With that acknowledged, this is the biggest visual front end change since the 996.1->996.2 transition -- and that evolution was an improvement. This does not look to be an aesthetic improvement. It's a step backwards. I think that the biggest problem here is that Porsche appears to be giving in to bigger picture design trends. The 911 has always done best going its own way.

I'm going to wait until they fix it with the 994. 😜

Or make it worse. Lol

 

Am I the only one who thinks that looks HIDEOUS? Almost like a catfish or some insect. Would like to see what they did with the non sport package.

 

The front looks like a Lego model....

 

Was the 991.2 really better in all respects than the .1, since it lost the NA motor? Not to many IMO . . .

As a long time and current BMW owner (M8 & X3), Porsche so far seems much better at keeping with their heritage and not coming out with radical new ugly designs to **** off their customer base. That front is not attractive, but I'm hoping that once the production models and options are released that there will be some more basic Porsche like attractive options.

 

Good news it saves me money not optioning the sport design package

 

If they indeed make it worse, I own a beautiful, 3 pedal, 991.2 Targa. I'll just keep that.

 

Like the big A$$ beaver tooth grill? That is unattractive.

 

Yup, like that. I owned that M4 for a year. Amazing car other than the front. I didn't hate the front, but I didn't love it like I did the prior generation and sold it after a year to get the M8. All of their other recent offering are pushing me away from the brand I've been buying since 2006. There is a rumored new 6 series, but I have low expectations of the looks of it based on all of their other recent new designs. So far Porsche hasn't gone crazy like that. The X3 and X5 are still great though and I'll probably keep buying one of those along with my upcoming 911
