As much as I’m not a fan of the new look, with that white car I think one can see where Porsche is headed and maybe understand why. They’re pulling the 911 into the 21st century and giving it a more modern futuristic look. I’d be willing to bet the 992 styling is intended to be a middle point on the road to a much more futurustic looking car complete with a hybrid power train. Porsche is changing the look across the model lineup to give it a more modern signature and I think these models are likely just a waypoint on a much bigger transition. Makes me sad on one hand, but such is life. Change is the only constant.

Still sounds weak to me. Just can’t overcome the inherent sound dynamics that arise from a turbo and all its plumbing. Even uncorked 911 Turbo S missles with 3.8’s sound bad and without character to me.
Taking cats off to make a car sound moderately palatable in my opinion is whack for many reasons, one being that your brand new 911 will smell like a 1970’s pickup truck (nothing says refinement like inhaling excess carbon) and the other being helping destroy the planet for a few HP and a sound that still gets stomped on by a 1999 Carrera C2.

I'm wondering why we haven't seen a leak of a 992 Targa yet. I know historically it hasn't been part of the initial model release but I'm surprised there hasn't been a test mule spotted so far.

Echoes of the Mission E prototype in the rear view of that white one above.

Just noticed, no XM antenna bump in any of the shots I've seen, maybe combined third brake light and XM?
