Wow, the 992 has that black lower panel at the rear, where the tail pipes stick out. Is it called a rear grille or something? Terrible. Now the 911 looks like every SUV and every Civic, Camry, Kia, and Ford - I think all cars grew this awful black rear grille which is typically not functional, only for looks. Even the 991 only has a very small one of those, now it is a major eye sore.
I think the Jag was a ripoff of the 911. Just my opinion. I kinda like the new direction except for the slab sided wheel wells. Enclosing the exhaust tips has been an industry wide direction for a few years. So long as the tips are connected to the exhaust system I'm OK with that. Fake outlets are like assisted sound in the interior. All cars are becoming more and more antiseptic, Porsche as well.
I've often thought it would be nice to have a second 911—a Cab—with a GT3 drivetrain. But I would never go so far as to call it a GT3.
I'd seriously question the veracity of that report. Then again, if Porsche thought it would generate revenue...
If that ever came to be, they might call it the 911 Spyder, like they did with the boxster version of the GT4 Cayman. You heard (me make) it (up) here first!
same. I love the vertical slats on the rear, and I especially like the frunk-line, kind of a cross between 964 and 993. The only thing I don't love is it continues the trend of modern 911s (and other performance cars for that matter) where the rims are disproportionately large. Some say it's to fit massive brakes, but if 18" rims are good enough for a 911 RSR, they're good enough for the street version imo.

I saw a clip where they have a concept car in a speedster version with a GT3 drivetrain. Not a cab, but pretty sweet.
I find the 991/992 to be shockingly dull. The interior is the best part, and I guess that is good because you can't see the rest of the car from the driver's seat.
