And I agree on the radiator protection! My GTS, with its huge openings, is vacuuming up road crap like a Dyson. Can't Porsche come up with a solution ala the GT cars? Where's the mesh???

(I've attached the 6Speed images.)



Much more GT then ever.

I don't mind it. Haven't seen the spoiler yet.
Little things that I don't like are the bulging head lights lens from the side profile and the center console and window switches on the doors instead of the console.
I hope the center console and sun roof is optional. Don't seem to be a sun roof and I like that.

I guess PDK flappy paddles will be a optional feature.

Over all it looks good to me especially the front intakes and led lights.

Looks like I will hang-on to me 997 that much longer.....

Porsche has a "history" of correcting the "wrong" with every-other generation of 911s....I'll wait for the 992

I read sunroof is wider and goes all the way to the side seams on the roof. So you don't see the "door" anymore.

You can see the back of the sunroof seam about 10-12" in front of the rear windshield, same on the front.

It has a pop up feature w/spoiler. I think when it retracts it simply slides back outside of the car.

Rear end reminds me of an Aston-Martin... Prefer the 997.

i don't mind the rear at all. although a little surprised it says "porsche" on the back instead of only the model designation.

i am surprised by the front LED cluster not being flush with the intake vent. i don't like it.

I'm thinking they should have stop designing after the 996 wide body.

If Porsche says 0-60 in 4.5, that means it'll do it in under 4 seconds when the car rags test it. Porsche is generally way conservative. Pretty quick......and no IMS apparently!
