Default 991 Turbo S Spotted

Saw a white one crusing through the streets of SF. Looked really big, keep an eye out.

Oooooo... A white one.. Besides for that hideous badging it looks amazing.. I love the air inlets for the turbos. I really like the wheels.. I think Porsche has done their best work with wheels design with the 991's. Especially on the new GT3.

In my opinion the rear bumper cover design is a great improvement over the 997 TT..

I know I'm going to want one. But I will have to wait awhile..Can't wait to see one in the flesh...

Knowing it will only be PDK makes the car ugly for me. I know I know progression technology, blah blah blah. I'm going to continue complaining....

Glad to see they are using the same crappy black plastic inner liner on the intakes - we're painting these by the dozen on the 981. Easy to improve upon.

Nice overall look. Not ready to part with my '09, but this is a nice look.

^+1.....Why does Porsche have to place so many freaking decals/badges on the back of the 991?!!!!!!!!!! Answer, the new customer base that they are after would not recognize the car otherwise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I feel much better now!
