Not soon enough!

Latest word is still that 991 will debut at the Frankfurt auto show this September, with orders being accepted soon after in the U.S. for 2012 delivery. FYI the production version of the new M5 is also debuting at Frankfurt.

 

Frankfurt is going to be a huge key show this year.. so many new and exciting models coming out - the next wave. I am trying to go for a few days.

 

bleh. i still have that nasty after taste when ///m decided to go turbo on the m3 and m5, which is why im looking for a 991.

anyways, i just looked at the car configurator on porsche.com for the states, and PRG is no longer a standard metallic color. NOOOOOOOO!!!! im so disappointed . i really wanted porsche racing green on the 991, but now i would have to pay over 3k for a color that was a standard color 2 yrs ago.

anyone who is a vet, what does this mean for the future of green colors on the 991? has porsche historically taken out a green and replaced it with another standard metallic green on new launches? or is it likely that PRG will remain a special color on the new 991? or is it likely that PGR will be dropped and there will be no green colors offered?

(i hope they dont do peridot. that color just isnt for me.)

 

Clearly when you've spent money on something you'll say anything to justify it, which is understandble. It is subjective in the end. Good luck with that.

 

Hey ROX your comments are unnecessary and completly insulting to simsgw and most of us out there who find the 911 beautiful.

I can remember the day I was looking for a new car to restore and as I browsed classic car trader the iconic shape of the 911 drew me in. its lines are unmatched. I have two 911's today and they take my breath away everytime I see them.

Please this is not a pissing match but your jutification comment needs to be deleted and you should take into account the forum you are in.

Dont spam here

 

Yeah, it really caused scrapes and bruises when they lassoed me and drug me down the street from the Aston dealership, tied me up and fed me sauerkraut until I signed the check for a C2S.

We need some sort of [yawn] symbol. You aren't even a creative troll. I really have to agree with Signature65. Find a venue where you can discuss the things you do like, whatever those might be. The role of curmudgeon only provides entertainment on political discussion lists where people expect to be treated like nasty leftovers of the age of Homo Erectus. We come to car sites to enjoy talking about the cars we love and we try to show respect for each other's choices.

If you're not intentionally a troll, if you really do own a Porsche and find yourself thinking this way, my respectful suggestion is that you sell it and buy something you won't regret. They probably still have that Aston available that I was considering.

Really. Go away. Buy something pretty.

Respectfully, Gary

 

Any updates one this? does anyone know when the 991 will be available in North America?

I presume that it will be the carrera coupe first and later the C4S and cabs etc ???

thanks

 

Do you guys like that engine sound? Not sure what to make of it...somewhat disappointing to be honest. But I have no idea what model that specific test car is representing either...

 

i cant wait for the official 991 to come out, Im tired of seeing the spy version. ( nothing against the people trying to help us get a clear view of what look to expect, thank you guys/gals)

 

I think it sounds like the 997 exhaust, but truthfully, I've had mine modded for long enough that I don't remember too well the OEM sound.

Anyway, I take it as a given that no matter how good the rest of the 991 is, it will need at the least a PSE to sound right, and maybe more.

 

spoiler on the cab looks bigger than the coupe

 

It's somewhere between the Targa and the large sunroof on the 944/968.

 

Another render or the real deal?

 

Is that a 911 or The Loch Ness monster ... are cell phone photos really that fuzzy and grainy?

The other shop'd pics all seem to have about the same tail end "treatment" -- fold out wing, full roof sunroof, etc.

 

991 looks amazing!!
