The thing is when this car is infront of you it looks amazing I have to be honest plus it has to be the right colour.

It's like when the Panamera came out the pics did not do it justice but when you see it infront of you and in the right colour I think what a beast!

I do agree with the encylopedia thing going on, on the rear lol

I really like it. I agree that the Turbo model will likely look even better. The first thing I'd do is debadge the rear down to "Carrera S".

I agree there is too much writing on the rear. I would leave the PORSCHE lettering and remove the Carrera S script. The dual exhaust tips distinguish the S model from the basic Carrera. Interior center console very similar to Panamera and Cayenne models...

Cayman's style front, a kind of " old Aston" in the rear (tail lights perhap's), for now it's absolutely not my next...

Love my 993TT and my 997TT!
Totally agree!!

Still not growing on me....

You have to thank the Chinese for the billboard on the rear end. A Porsche rep in a car magazine said that the Chinese associate Porsche mostly with the Cayenne and Panamera, but have no clue that the 911 is actually made by Porsche... :S

I was following a car today and thought about this thread and the "bulby eyed" 991, the rear and especially the tail lights were really remember me the pictures of Nick, the car was not an Aston, it was a....Renault Laguna Coupé!!

Guys you are exaggerating both on the Aston and the Laguna case. The same way that the new cayenne rear lights look like a Nissan quasqai (European model don't know if you have it there).

Sad will be the day the the rear of a 911reminds us of something else and thankfully it has not come. The rear effect is not just tail lights. And J'Los butt is not Beyonce 's.

+100% dianic! Exaggeration would be a monumental understatement actually.

I think what we are hearing here is nowt more than the inevitable wails of sore toes that have been stepped on as consequence of this glamorous new beast stealing their beloved 997's limelight . Guys it was bound to happen so get over it with a bit of grace and dignity please. You're embarrassing yourselves.

The car looks absolutely stunning. I can only just imagine just how good it really looks in the flesh. Damn!!! Now I'm going to have to figure out how i can get one of these. I'm sure gonna need some money!!

I dont care for the way they are spelling everything out on the back end, To many letters, Turbo does it for me , simple and to the point ..
