Interesting since the door handle can be used as a safety device, Mercedes user to advertise that they designed their door handles to be strong enough to pull open a deformed door in the case of a bad collision, I guess with all the electronic wizardry strong door handles are no longer necessary........

Yes, I am not so sure about this spoiler. It's reminiscent of "The Flying Nun" to me, but there are lots of owners that love that big wing look. On the 911, the current Turbo wing looks good to me. I also liked the wing on my Cayman. My 911, not so much but I never have to look at it.

I like it, esp. the front.
The squared-off front lid with the 2 character creases...evokes the earliest 911s.
Looks as though they have 2 cars running, one has dual exhaust tips and the other quad-tips.

Correct on the deployable spoiler. Much wider.
The chrome trim on the rears is blacked out with film. Just some weird disguising.
Notice the FLUSH door handles??

Flush handles, at first glance also not an improvement over 991 or 991.2

The wider rear spoiler really kills the lines of the car when deployed - exposing the underlying metal, check out the rear 3/4 view - imho it looks awful and I would take a fixed duck any day. The "open trunk" look taken too far. In addition you will have a very noticable gap between the rear quarter and the bumper cover as the wing extends down so low when not deployed...no good for those of us that like the cleaner look of the 991.

Looks like 2 cars running-one with dual exhaust outlets, and the other with quad tips. Base and S ?

To me it almost looks like the rear end of the car is all disguise. The tape that STG speaks of earlier looks like a joint line to me, with a "wide body" disguise that even incorporates the rockers...... The taillight covers, rear fascia all look like they've been tacked/added on to hide maybe a more sleek rear end treatment? (then again, maybe it is my 50 something old eyes not seeing things clearly)

The 992 will be slightly wider. I've read there will be a HYBRID OPTION for this generation.
Expect the cabin to be slightly pushed forward a bit. When I say a bit, like an 1" or something. Same interior space though.
