Default My New Road & Track Magazine Has The "New 911" on the cover.

Interesting article and some pretty neat pictures/illustrations. There is also an article on the current variations of the 997, Speedster, GTS, and GT3 RS. Grab one if you are interested.
I added the link I found online with the article and illustrations.

Default Finally a clear sunroof.

I posted this survey a while back enquiring why when we have to have a sunroof, we can't have it transparent.
Looks like it's going to come true.

From the front it looks like a slightly rework Audi R8. The rear end looks a bit too busy with all the angles and butt lines. And as others have discovered, the interior is a reworked Panorama. Who can say?

I agree, especially the rear treatment as shown.

I think it looks awesome.

I dont like the porsche script on the back... looks like it doesnt really fit very well.

The rear lights are a bit narrow, but this is also probably artist impression from the camo cars.

Great overall !!
