As stated, those "shots" are renderings...meaning they're someone's "best guess" of what they think the finished product will look like.
It'll be interesting to see how close these pics come to the actual car.
I'd say, judging from how it looks here, the real deal will be significantly different in many of the assumed details.
Red may not be the best color for this car, either.

At this point, I'm not a fan. But I say that about a lot of vehicles before I see them in person.

Definitley has a Cayenne influence in the nose. Nice to see it without all the camo. I know, it's just a rendering.

Those renderings are downright hideous. Certainly hope the production design is much more fluid and attractive.

Agree with Leader. There are pics of a late-stage mule running the 'Ring in the November Road & Track. The writer comments that the vehicle looks to be quite production-ready... whilst the rear end of the mule is not directly in view, this "rendering" looks to be a bit "chunkier" that what I'm gathering from the spy shots...

Wait and see.

I'm glad it looks like this. It's saving me a fortune. I won't be in a hurry to buy anything that looks even similar to this.

It's definitely less of a statement than the 928 was. As others said, it looks a little of this and a little of that. -Probably a lot of fun to drive, though.

Looks like a cross between a lowered Cayenne and a Subaru. IMO a Porsche badge doesn't belong on anything with 4 doors.

turbo rims are ugly, but the lightest wheel out of the 997 wheel lineup from the numbers ive seen.

This is what happens when the Cayenne mounts the 911 from behind...

That thing makes the Cayenne look like a super model.
