2020 NEXT GENERATION 992 SPY PICS & RELEASE
#61
We are a long way from a complete reveal. Making a definitve decision on whether they like the design or not would be a little premature. Here's test mules of the 991 to keep perspective.

Now if it looked like this, I'd be making the deposit now.

I don't hate it. Doesn't matter to me though as I still plan on ordering a 991.2 GTS at the end of my current lease.
Do the brake disks on this one look extra large to anyone else?
It has the long thin light between the tail lights and it is in the snow so.... is this just a wide body 992 C4 in testing and will the 992 C2s be a bit narrower?

Good point, hmmm somehow Porsche always seem to get it right, I think the only considered "faux pas" was the headlights on the 996 with the fried egg headlights, but the 996 is doing great in the used market as an affordable 911 and turbo models look great. So I would expect the "evolve" design will once again move the 911 a bit further down the road.

Compare that to what came immediately before:

This will likely be a MY2020, released in late 2019. Expect major interior revisions (Panamera-like), very minor engine changes (although likely that hybrid model), the same greenhouse, and tweeked body changes.
Similar to 996 to 997 models.

They can keep their 3.0L blower.
I'm sticking with my GTS

Don't get me wrong -- I like 964 just fine. But they had a rough spell for 15+ years from 95 till 2012 or so because people didn't like the way they looked. And it would still not be on my short list for an air cooler, despite being a better performer and rarer than either 3.2 or SC.
Even though the 964 you posted looks about as good one can look (and it does look good), when compared to the 3.2 it looks thick and bulky where the older car looks thin and sleek. Optical illusion brought about by the black rubber molding strip above the rockers as much as anything.

I honestly thought this was a convertible Mustang when I first glanced at the photo!
This (minus the whale tail) is what I think of when I think 911. (SC's were new when I got my license.)
