I have no doubt Porsche will make a wide range of improvements with the 992 - if the sound bothers you so much buy something else. How about a Cayman - after all it's the only basic sports car Porsche produce.
Alternatively try a Lotus Exige 430 Cup - far more sports car than the Carrera or Cayman and even more involving than the current GT3. No sound damping, no interior, no nanny aids. Pure light weight sports car.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, great find.
I noticed that the front side light doesn't cut the headlight in half but now is actually below the headlight compared to the 991.1 or 991.2.
The rear end seems more full and appears to be heavy. Don't like how the bar light doesn't go all the way across as a solid light. Maybe when complete it will, hopefully.
The extra back brake light setup is hideous. Hopefully it will be squared away when complete also. It just doesn't look good in these pictures. The mirrors on every picture of a 992 is totally ugly. I really like the sport mirror. I hope that they don't go with the current mirror, it is awful. Lastly Porsche better improve the exhaust or I will not be buying any more Porsches. I have had 16 and if the sound is gone due to the turbos then I will find a new good sounding exhaust sports car. The current sport exhaust is a total rip-off and a ridiculous joke. The current 991.2 SE is the worst sounding 911 ever!!!!! I was told by a friend that works in the factory that they are working overtime on the sound improvement. We can only hope. Please get away from making this more of a GT cruiser and get back to the basic 911 sports car.

Honestly looks like a facelifted 991.2 to me and nothing more. 991.3 indeed. So far I'm liking everything about it other than the rear light strip.
That nasty 3rd brake light will disappear and get integrated under the wing.

I had my second sighting on Sunday - no pics again as it was going in the opposite direction. No pics, no proof, I know.

The third brake light is going straight in middle of the engine cover vents (above the spoiler). It’s that long blank space in the middle (being covered up).
It’ll look like a very subtle evolution of the 991. You’ll have to see them together to notice any true proportional differences. The front frunk line will obviously be a tell, and the rear is probably the biggest difference. The side windows are slimmer and the belt line is higher. It’ll be harder than rest your arm on the upper door panel, for those of us who like to roll like every 80’s movie mullet-donning Camaro-driving villain. The whole package looks a bit “tighter” and slightly more chunky/beefy, yet at the same time more fussy and less effortlessly smooth (up front, namely). Obviously, we’re talking extremely incrementally here on both.
The big difference, obviously is inside the car.

I will pay extra for the PDK stick option for the 992. Seriously, does Porsche not do proper enthusiasts feedback on what need to be there and not. Pany and 911 are different cars. But I am really hoping the PDK stick is there during release. Can't jump up and down right now till all the info is official.
I would hate to glue a stick on the nub to get a PDK feel. It just will never feel right and chances are if i glue it (Please do not think that I am serious with this...literally joking), it will come in my hand while shifiting and remind me of some Mr. Bean episode happening to me in real life. Lol
