Porsche 991 Cabriolet

Hi all! I have filmed this beautiful Porsche 991 Carrera Cabriolet seen at Porsche dealer. I think it looks way better than the 997 and the colour scheme was absolutely amazing!

What's your idea?


Enjoy the video!

Thanks!

Love the car overall but that color combination does nothing for me.

Do you know the name of the dealership or have pictures of the car?

I actually love the color combo but wouldn't pay for it.

Just wondering why the lettering on the back of the car also says "911"... Is Porsche afraid this model is so far off that nobody recognizes it as a 911. Weird!!

I would never have come up with that color combo, but I think I looks spectacular.

The least recognizable 911 is the 996, IMO.

Not a huge fan to TT color scheme. Red top, silver body...not my favorite.

My .02 and just that.

So I got one or two private responses. One says " Jalousy", the other one says " trolling".
I always like to believe that this is a forum for grown ups... so perhaps grow up and send me a direct email and we talk. Is that a deal???

It wasn't a private response, it was a negative rep. Your sole purpose on the 991 board seems to be to troll. Not sure why, though. It seems like a very immature thing to do by someone telling others to grow up.

..
Negative and positive remarks are both valuable... that is why this is a forum. And I do think that it is a logical place for a 996 guy to look so one can see what the future brings or doesn't?

Negative and postive remarks would be great. Do you have any positive remarks to go along with the negatives? Or is this latest iteration just that terrible in your mind?

Nice overall, but the red top is a bit too much IMO.

If negative remarks and observations stated in the 991 Fan forum are considered evil and out of place than perhaps we need a 991 forum that is realistically looking at the good the bad and the ugly IF there is something like that to discuss and I will happily move those remarks to that forum, perhaps I can learn something about the car that nobody " dares" to write down in the fan club forum. In the meantime I have not yet driven one of the 991 models and when that happens I will certainly have something to say. Like it or not.

No offence hroussard but i think the comments being made are justified.

Badges or no badges I'm not sure why you can't see the new 991 car is easily recognised as a Porsche 911 cabriolet? There is a distinct line between offering negative and positive comment and blatant trolling and that line is being crossed....and quite regularly if i may add. Just saying...

So, I think you'all are getting your knickers in a twist. Case in point. Why would I have that question... you ponder?? Because the 997 series 911 DOES NOT HAVE that... Check the picture attached. So what was wrong about my observation and remarks ?? Another one. My Turbo does NOT say it's a "911" Turbo on the back. We ALL know it is a 911.. So why - THIS time around - Porsche found it necessary to add the "911" moniker to the back... frankly ... I think it is TOO much .. but that would be me being negative... now would it??
