2020 NEXT GENERATION 992 SPY PICS & RELEASE
#2116
I wish there was a higher res pic of the rear. I'm thinking the middle portion of the black strip will get narrower when finished.

I think it looks fantastic. Especially the white with black accents. I will get in line to replace my 2018 C4 with a 992.2 before the manual and ICE goes away.

That rear end looks narrow. I think that is a plain 911 basic car, also silver calipers as opposed to the red for the "S" model, etc. Looks decent. However I don't get the black section above the license plate area. What is that for? I think it would look better all white across the back upper area. For the first time the back doesn't look as poorly as some of the others. The exhaust area actually looks good but I prefer the quad 4 look. I am hoping that the PSE can be had by still having the quad 4 like in the 991.1 as opposed to the 991.2 set up.
Thanks for sharing the pictures, a good find!!!

I thought the black area was camouflage to fool you into thinking its the current model with recessed plate area there

Kind of has a Jag F Type presence to it there.
Indeed. And the cheapness shows, both visually and in feel, imo. They're gonna look soooooo dated, lmao. While our analogue gauges will look better than ever (by that point, they'll be increasingly "retro/classic/timeless cool"). Already the Panny's LCD display looks a bit pixelated. As does Audi's, etc. etc.
That added layer of "driver engagement" is important for a road car that's used for daily routines and pleasure. Also, the center shifter has an important fundamental purpose to me as well. When negotiating hard turns, or especially when making a right or left onto a street while manually shifting, using the paddles or buttons isn't intuitive or placed right, as you have to twist your arms and "find" them. I always use the center shifter there, and it indeed also has a "cooler" physical effect of "shifting," making a motion with your arms, rather than pressing or flicking a button like a video game. Ferrari at least have their paddles housed at the center position, so you always know where it is.
Putting screens in place of Gauges is way more profitable for all manufactures. Think of all those android tablets that sell for $70.. those screens in the dashboard can’t cost Porsche more $60-$150 to make. Wayyy cheaper to make. Unfortunately they’re still using LCD’s instead of OLED’s, so it will always look dated from an angled of axis view. If they’re gonna use LCD’s, hopefully OLED’s are not far out in the future
I agree with this. Who actually uses the stick to shift the PDK when you have paddles right at your finger tips? They allow you to keep both hands on the steering wheel and focus on the road/apex.
Using the shifter with the PDK is like you're trying to add an artificial layer of "driver engagement" when you're really just shifting a computer operated manual with redundant controls. If you love the PDK stick that much and use it all the time, you've simply bought the wrong transmission! A real manual and clutch would be a much better fit.
