Doesn't look bad to me. Other than the taped up front and tail lights and rear Porsche logo the car is pretty much uncovered. Carrera with sports exhaust?

Hopefully the third brake light is just two LED stripes integrated into the grille slats and not something that looks stuck on as afterthought like that.

Not loving the rear in some of those, with the public road ambiance behind it. Looks like it's going too far in "luxury look" i.e it's the first time a 911's rear looks like what we've come to know from the Panamera. Lots of streamlined empty space, which sort of exacerbates the "droop look." Also the engine cover vents look smaller than the 991 vents, which I'm not crazy about.

Otherwise without a 991 next to it, someone would be hard pressed to tell which architecture is which.

Like the front & the sides,....the rear still leaves a lot to be desired. What's with the "dead spot" in the middle of the light bar across the back? Still could be much better integration of the third brake light, the 991.x versions look much better.

Looks good, but just noticed it kind of reminds me of the 370z, maybe it’s just me

Looks like they integrated the turbo vents into the lower rear valance next to the exhaust pipes. Looks cleaner than on the 991.2.

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.
