front looks great , rear looks off.
i think minor changes in the rear like going back to horizontal slats and making a single centre dual exhaust would clean that rear end up a lot.
i don't get the 2 single exhaust exists separated by a foot…. looks very unclean and awkward.

I'm sure that ugly rear end is just for "testing purposes" as to not totally give away what the car will really look like once it's finally released. Porsche is smarter than that as this BBQ grill that is pictured is H-I-D-E-O-U-S! Perhaps they will revive the cool looking twin grill?
As for the cars all getting turbos, I am for it. Why not? Faster, lighter, better on gas, and although I am not big on modding cars anymore, I'm sure that the fans of aftermarket engine mods will be pleased as doing any engine mod on a n/a car is futile.
I wonder what Porsche has in mind for for the actual 911 Turbo... Will that be the only "wide body" available with some outrageous engine making 650 bhp? or will the Turbo just be discontinued after the 991?
We shall see.

"...and a new all-black rear air intake with longitudinal rather than horizontal slats. The red Carrera S we’re riding in wears only minimal camouflage: two strips of body-color tape at one end, two faux transparent taillight covers at the other. Most passersby will just see another 911."
It looks like the ugly grill is for real, there is only minimal disguise here.
Yes, something is just off about that rear bumper, like a body kit gone wrong or something. Grill is horrible. Exhausts need to decide whether they are separate or together. Sigh.

OMG, you have very acute perception. Or did you photoshop this? It does indeed look like a 991 is squeezed inside that i8.
EDIT: you didn't photoshop. I just Googled an image of the i8 and that is a true depiction of the rear. Uncanny. Not to mention it is a disgusting looking car.
