Attachment 1149726 w this article and the car I saw looked EXACTLY like the one pictured in this article and below: http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars...9-porsche-911/

Pretty cool I think. It did look like Jordi Lafarge.
Seems like the engine is moving further inward as the intakes are at the base of the window, exhaust looks cool...

They have had plenty of time to address key issues like tire roar, poor stereo systems, turbo exhaust noise, poorly integrated PCM in the .2 - all new styling in and out should be great.

Could be a real exciting change for the 911, and I look forward to seeing it.

That 3rd brake light is a real piece of engineering

He posted a pic (spy shot) from winter testing, not the beltway around DC. Our snow here is long gone! Nice and sunny today, as a matter of fact...

It's an homage to the '87 Turbo and Cab. It's called a Heritage Brake Light. I just hope it's backwards compatible with the 991.1.

Next time one of you guys see this thing, snap a pic of the interior. I want to know if there is a 6MT in any of them.


.....could care less about the Panny digital stuff that is rumored.

No picture?? Didn't happen!!

Could have been a Mitsubishi Eclipse for all we know.

Had you been drinking?

Hey Op - do you bring your red 911 to Katies C&C?
Next time you are at Katies, say hello!

Too bad you weren't able to catch up to it. I was able to. May I present the 2017 Mule you saw in DC. :-P

2017 Mule...Hilarious!

Now just wait for all the butt hurt ****** to come out of the wood work and tell you that this is not a politics forum, thereby acknowledging their unfortunate lack of sense of humor.

More Katie's people!

What time are you guys getting there for decent parking? 7:15 doesn't seem to work in the car season.

I think I recognize Chuck's car from the profile picture.

Also, before this goes too far off the original topic, it wouldn't surprise me if they made a quick stop by Audi HQ in Reston, VA.

I'm so disappointed.

im waiting to spot them over here in socal. VAG has an emissions lab (chuckles) so we see a lot of the test mules...plus they have Death Valley too so this should be a good spring/summer for 992 spotting

AND VAG is opening up a training center in my city (Eastvale) so maybe if I camp out i might catch some disguised cars.
