Looks pretty good to me



rest of the pics here - 2013 Porsche 911 leaked

 

not sure if this is real

 

Why not? So many high res pictures, I doubt they are photoshopped.

I'm not liking the rear - 997 is so much nicer (both pre- and post facelift).

 

It's a great looking car and it looks like the interior has some nice touches to it. The center console and stack look very 928/Panamera like which makes sense considering that it's become a GT car and geared more towards luxury/sport combined.

Next version of the GT3 may not be as good as the current considering the increased size of the 991.

Curious to see what the next Boxster and Cayman will look like.

 

I'm pretty convinced this is the real car, especially given the photos of the interior. Overall, it looks pretty good to me and an improvement over the 997.

 

Candidly, I don't think the 991 is as nice looking as the 997. It's a nice looking car but its evolved into a longer wider vehicle and has stepped away from the traditional compact performance sports cars 911's have traditionally been from day one.

To my eyes (and I have a pretty good eye) its morphed or morphing into a PanameriaAstonFerrariBMW6series sport tourer/GT inside and out. Sorry but from my view thats how I see it.

I think the 997 is going to be last of the 911 to retain that true 911 look.

It may win me over in the metal but until I actually see it thats how I see it.

 

The ovalized headlights are a bit strange, especially as seen from the side (Hyundai anyone?).



Compare it to the 997.2 side-view:

 

It's a good looking car and should attract alot of new buyers.

To me, it shows Porsche is giving the car a hefty shove toward the GT market (6-series, SL, Aston). I'm more interested in how this will translate into the Turbo, GT3, and GT2. I'm sure it goes like stink.

To this current 997 owner, the front fascia is a bit busy (so much the trend these days, I'm looking at you Audi), and the rear is a little generic. The rear heft is moderated, the tail lights are very Aston/Jag, and there's too many words on that rear lid.

I like those wheels.

 

Eh, it's OK. Nothing more, IMO. Front is overstyled; the unnecessary creases are from BMW's playbook, and out of place on what is an organic shape, IMO. Chrome headlight washer nipples have never made sense to me; they should disappear, not be in your face. Maybe it's the lighting or photo angle, but the rear seems to come to too much of a point. The rear lights are neither evocative of past models nor attractive, and for God's sake the busy script on all new Porsche models is out of hand. Interior door panels are derivative and far too busy, unlike the 987/997 which gave a nod to the past with their relatively simple design, door pulls, and power window switch design and location. It's been said before, but a large transmission tunnel/center console makes no sense in a rear-engined vehicle. And don't get me started on the electronic e-brake.

Unlike when the 997 was introduced, I have no burning desire to get one. Hopefully one of the 20 other versions sure to be coming down the pipeline will get me excited...

 

rear model and make delete! delete! delete!

 

Excellent. Distinctly positive evolution of a classic design. Bravo.

 

Rear badging is crazy. Do not want.

No no no! They messed up the instrument cluster. I do not like the panny video dial. WTF.

 

the wheel tunnels (where our leggs go) looks narrow to me.

That interior is luxurious. It looks like mother Porsche could make a lot more $$$ on the potiental upgrades.
