Default 991 Turbo S Released

Well, it's finally here...Looking back, all of those camo'd test mules running around for the last year, weren't really that camo'd!

0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds

Looks like Cayman lines from this angle.

Very much Cayman lines, I agree.

The widebody and Turbo accents look great on the 991. Only PDK, no manual on Turbos and GT3RS? WTF??

Wow 2.9 sec?
Is that a great big smile or stretch marks on your face?
Looks like a whole Targa glass roof. Great hips though.

Wide but far from looking like where it originated.

I think the 997.2 Turbo looks better. No manual makes it even more of a disappointment.

I think it looks great! The only detail I don't like is the angular, Panamera Turbo exhaust
tips. IMO they should be ceramic black round pipes.

Here is a video:

I think it looks fine but the spec is kinda lame. Why not go 600-hp (god knows it costs enough) and give McLaren and Ferrari and fright?

Not to mention send customers the message that Porsche is in it to win it as opposed to this which appears like a marketing-driven performance increase to allow for more potent models in the future...

It looks good, but I would get the 991 GT3 instead

looks awesome
just needs to be lowered to fill in those wheel wells
and the rear is a little too busy for me.
