997 Turbo Pics.

Is it me, or is this car looking more and more subdued? And less like the monster I was hoping for.




The exhaust out the rear bumper thing looks kind of boring to me.

the exhaust cutout location I dont care for... would look better under the bumper not in the bumper... while the 996Turbo might not ever be a classic I still think its the best looking 911 Porsche has ever made. The 997 turbo has a tough benchmark to surpass

Happens w/ all cars, they are spy pics


I still laugh when everyone flipped out about the spy pics of the cayenne face lift. They all complained about the headlights, but half of the headlights were taped up

I'm just not feeling it either. When I had my C4s I was seriously considering this car - I even placed a deposit on it. I ended up moving that deposit to the Panamera.

I have a feeling that if the Panamera is what I think it will be, that will be the Porsche to have.

True, there is tape all over it. We should be seeing some real pics early next year hopefully.

However I do not like where the exhaust are, I think it looses some of it's sportiness. But again, let's wait and see.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that exhaust design going to make it harder to mod the exhaust? Less room to work with.

I'm glad it doesn't look vastly different from the 996TT. Performance will be the key.
