new 991 renderings
the closer we come to the reveal of the 991, the more realistic Autobild´s renderings get.
they have the best connection to Porsche, VW etc. and are always first in line.

i am surprised how much i like the rear - looks very cool
of course all the exterior bits go with the new interior - that could very well push me into wanting one, or turn me away.
like many out here, when i first saw the 997, i remember being dazzled, and thinking porsche had hit it out of the park. while this 991 looks nice, i don't get the same feeling as when i first saw the 997. guess i'll have to wait until i see it in the flesh...
interesting how article talks about the little 550 porsche too, with a concept drawing, powered by a 1.6 turbo, putting out 200hp

That comparo makes the 991 front closer to the Panamera (and the R8) than the 997.2. The Panamera is a big car and it looks fine, AFAIC, but morph the 997 into a Panamera is not a good thing. The new 991 according to those photoshopped pics loses line purity, with its bloated front and creased/complex rear.

I too like the rear, the front is more Cayenne'ish and will take away some of the tear droppishness to the timeless 911 silhouette. I wish they wouldn't give it that bloated look to the front.

i know what u mean. Any change to the 911´s styling is a risky thing.
It´s the balance between creating a fresh look and keeping the traditional design elements. the goal is always to keep the old customers and to get new ones. it certainly looks bigger (i wouldn`call it bloated tho, pics often lie), more aggressive and (let´s say) more dangerous in those renderings and that fact will attract new customers but it will def. lead to some criticism as well.
But Porsche is used to that anyway. lol
