Here's the Video!!!!!!!!!! Less and less Camo now!!


Could it be a bit of marketing? I have noticed that the camera car looks to be a 911 w/19" Carrera Sport Design Wheels.

looks like we're getting close.

 

I wish they had incorporated the Panamera front end a bit more (flatter nose).

 

Is it just me? The car looks proportionately taller than the current 997.2?

 

From my understanding it is a little lower than the 997.

A couple more...

 

Awesome! Here's the video

The interior is an instant approval.
I love the profile and the shape of the rear.
Are they possibly getting rid of the bumperettes?!?!

I don't understand why they're keeping the orange sidemarkers instead of going clear.
The placement for the sideview mirror looks a bit awkward. I'd rather it like the 997.
The front doesn't look too different. It doesn't excite me like I thought it would, but I'll wait until I see what it actually looks like. Maybe it's just the angle.

 

I like the interior except the door. It's... weird... not as clean as usual.
I can bet orange sidemarks will not be present in the EU specs
Regarding sideview mirrors I think that it's a combination of aerodynamics needs and a recall to the past (959)

Overall... I really like it. It's new but still the same. Amazing how they can go on innovating without messing up a great design.

 

The door does look a little bulky near the front. Maybe it's a compartment?

Europe will def get the clear sidemarkers and US buyers will still have to get clear sidemarkers are their first mod.

Some ppl already dislike the rear and say it's too flat. I really like the new rear. It isn't as traditional as the 997, but now it looks much sexier, balanced, and doesn't look rear-heavy.

About the sideview mirror, I can see that but the placement of the arm is too low and too far back IMO. Plus the 997 sideview mirrors look much cooler.



The front bumper styling is not too far off from the MotorTrend Rendition. I do like how aggressive the front bumper is in the MT rendition and it only makes me wonder what the 991TT/GT3/GT2 will look like!


I don't understand why they haven't incorporated the classic hood.


**Thank you/You're welcome to whoever (has) repped me**

 

LED front turn signals integrated into DRLs, nice.

 

A few observations from the side comparison:

1) The reduced slope and additional curvature of the windscreen definitely adds to a sleeker shape. It immediately dates the 997.

2) It looks like much of the added wheelbase length is located between the door and the rear wheel well.

3) The greatest change in the design over time is the continued increase in height of the rear bumper. I'm sure it's related to safety regulations and aerodynamics, but if you think back to the 930, 964 and 993, the rear taillights sat very low, along with the bumper. It seems as though the tails/bumper have moved from shin-height to hip/waist height. While the basic shape of the 911 is still instantly recognizable, this is one area that I think has changed the most. I also think it's one of those details that makes the 930/964/993 'classic' designs that we all look back on and love.
