Hmm were the metallic blue color pictures we've seen of DBM? I thought they were Sapphire but that doesn't seem to be an available color.
Even if I liked the rest of it not having a bright metallic blue would keep me from ordering one.
Edit: Oh I guess there's a Gentian Blue now. I wonder how that compares to Sapphire.

Front intakes/bumper?
Is it me or it looks more like the 718 cayman GTS?
Personally, possibly biased and fwiw, very happy again that I bought 991.2
I love my red dials! How do you get those on the digital dials - a settings option worth $1000?
btw - configurator has option for ‘protection film - front’ for $2,760!

Thought this was cool. Haven’t seen black interior with the wood.

This car is a 991.3. It's not a new platform as we originally were expecting. The front bumper has a longer overhang to meet some EU pedestrian standard, the hood has new creases, the door handles on the sides are different, the rear quarters are all the same as the 991.2 C4S wide body, and the bumper and rear fascia are new. The interior gets a new dash/console/door trim, but the seats and everything back are all the same as the 991.2. The engine is the same, but gets some turbo tweaks and ECU tune for an extra 24 horses. Note the glass is all unchanged from the 991.2 - that's the real tell. In conclusion, it's a 991.3, not an all new car.
Funny that after all that "new chassis" and "engine moving forward" talk by all the big rags, we essentially have a 991 with barely halfway revised skin. I'm relieved, as it bodes very well for our 991's and the 992 (why mess with perfection), but it's just interesting.
BUT.... At least we get to find our where the nearest public bathroom is. Maybe they can fuse that into the Porsche Tinder Control feature! #WorthIt [facepalm]
Speaking of which (since Porsche refuse to share technical data that.. you know.. befits a 911 release), here are some interior observations I made when I sat in one, that I shared in another thread:
When I sat in the 992, the interior felt far more opulent. More luxurious ambiance by far, much, much less sport. I liked it in some ways, and didn't in plenty. It feels very mature and coddling, especially for a 911. In fact, without the window sill and familiar greenhouse, you'd be hard pressed to know you're in a 911, never mind sports car.
I HATE the nubbin, HATE the inevitably pixelated digital gauges replacing my iconic, analogue Porsche ones (I'm not a watch guy, but digi gauges made to look analogue is like a wanting a Rolex yet settling for its face graphic on an Apple Watch) and all the touch surfaces. HATE. No tactile feedback which communicate a story about the underlying quality engrained within the car (like the satisfying "click" of a button). It's just a plastic digital screen like in every other car and surface you touch. No physical personality to it.
And NO MORE SPORT BUTTON UNLESS YOU GET SPORT CHRONO?! WHAT?! You have to go into the screen to click the sport button?? Is this a sports car or an S Class?
One thing I did like were the new aluminum seeming "flip switches" along the enormously long shelf. They feel good ("fighter jet style") and are maybe the only surface that feels of higher quality than what it replaces.
