Thanks for the pics, I think its a step in the right direction as far as 911 styling..... except for those wheels, they are terrble...... odds are the wost styled wheels I have ever seen on a porsche.....

destaccado

if you look at the pictures of the car moving, the rims almost appear not to be there.....as if there transparent with a view of the painted brakes......maybe that is why they are designed that way.......

Can't wait for the pictures with the ugly bumperettes.

I LOVE it. It is great they brought back the S model with actually more horsepower then the base. I don't understand why so many people are against the wheels. I think they will look great in person.

I STILL think the headlights should be more upright, and the rear should be a tad lower. But overall seems pretty good.

The interior...umm...no.

I really like the exterior though. Even the new wheels are growing on me.

The S-model wheels are umm.... shall I say it??

A bit metro-sexual

But I like it..

The interior looks a bit toonish, but then again seeing and being in person is a different thing.

Let me see...the 997 doesn't look any better than my current car, the S model has a bigger engine with 10 more hp and doesn't accelerate any more quickly, and it has a lower top speed. It's also going to have an active suspension when I prefer an all mechanical suspension for my sports cars. This is not even a close decision for me. I'm keeping my 40th! The only tough decision I have to make is what track car I want.

Exterior looks great.

Interior looks...VW/Audi.

I wish Porsche would resist the urge to load up the interior with computer gizmos. I don't see how it will be possible to delete the center console on the 997. Perhaps one can forego the steering wheel buttons. I assume they'll come up with a better looking shift ****.

I'll reserve judgment until I see the customization options available on the interior. But the 986/996 interior looks a lot better to my eyes.

ATLANTA, GA, May 11, 2004 – Porsche® today disclosed the first information available on two all-new Porsche 911s destined to be the flagship models for its model year 2005 sports car lineup. The all-new Porsche 911 Carrera and more powerful 911 Carrera S combine the classic 911 silhouette, a trademark of the model for more than 40 years, with new and more aggressive styling.

Both models feature Porsche’s traditional horizontally opposed flat-six cylinder engines. The 911 Carrera’s 3.6-liter unit produces 325 HP (SAE) while the 911 Carrera S’s newly developed 3.8-liter power plant delivers 355 HP (SAE). Both cars also have a new six-speed gearbox and a reworked chassis, which includes active suspension as standard on the S model.

The new 911 models will go on sale in the second half of 2004. Manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the 911 Carrera is $69,300 US and $101,400 Canadian and for the 911 Carrera S $79,100 US and $115,650 Canadian.

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), based in Atlanta, Ga., and its subsidiary, Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd., are the exclusive importers of Porsche sports cars and Cayenne sport utility vehicles for the United States and Canada. A wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Dr. Ing. h.c.F. Porsche AG, PCNA employs approximately 250 people who provide Porsche vehicles, parts, service, marketing and training for its 204 U.S. and Canadian dealers. They, in turn, provide Porsche owners with best-in-class service.

Exactly. Porsche seems to be steering away from a sports car company with a practical edge to it, to simply another luxary-performance company like BMW, Mercedes and so forth. We have enough of those manufacturers already though. Like if I wanted a luxary perfromance car I'd get an M3 or something. From Porsche I would expect something more like the 996 GT3.

At least Lotus is resisting the temptation....
