Doesn't do it at all for me, but I wouldn't be buying one anyway. I've got the last 911 I'll ever own sitting comfortably in the garage.

Seems like a good iteration.

I don't like the rear so hopefully that wing and tail light setup is not standard.

Would be good if we could see the interior.

I wouldnt be surprised if most of the bodywork is a disguise.

That rear bumper clearly has camo over the center section
and looks like a radar in the middle of the front bumper for emergency braking assist and/or adaptive cruise control

Dear Porsche,

Please retire the 911, it has had a glorious history and run its course. Can we have please have a clean slate sports car rather than a bigger, more luxurious version of the same thing - over and over and over...

I like it. Would love to have those brakes on my GTS in the interim!

Is Porsche on a mission to make the ugliest exhaust system ever? Incrementally?

The raised front fenders have all but disappeared which really us unfortunate. I'm sure the new Euro bumper laws have something to do with it but it really does make it look bland.

The rear looks bloated but that was also true for the 991 IMHO.

Interesting that the platform may also impact future design of the R8 and Huracan platform. I guess that's the first step towards platform sharing across the brands. That didn't take long at all.

Test mule. That back end is far too busy, and the front is too unrefined to be the production model. I bet it will look better. May still prefer our 997s, but I think these pics are not fully representative....

Sorry I'm not a fan. Not only does it have the tragic rear grill of the 991.2, the headlights look like they have a puddle of tears welling up on the bottom. And the car looks even bigger than the 991. They're going the wrong direction. Please make the car smaller, not larger. I'll be keeping my 997.2 GTS for the foreseeable future.
