As usual an evolution of the 911. After so many years I still think it looks great.

Exhaust looks horrible, stupid VW/Audi influence. Rear deck also looks different for the sake of different. But of course it still looks great as a whole.

The exhaust looks similar to AMG.

This car is pure sex. They improved upon an already amazing and proven 991 model. I am absolutely in love with this. Too bad it will probably be $200k+ and will never be able to afford it. Not sure if I'm posting this in the correct section, mods feel free to move if necessary.

Has it gotten longer again?

Love it. The vents on the engine cover look a bit odd, though.

E92LNGCGY · 12-01-2015, 11:52 AM

I am starting to think the 911 engine will start moving towards the middle. Not saying it will turn into mid engine but more like mid-rear set up.

I don't like the size increase either. But for some reason it gives the car more presence and more of a super car feel.

Love it. The 991 can only be improved or beaten by Porsche themselves and they've sure done it on the 991.2 models. Very impressive stuff.
I'm interested to see how fast the 991.2S is considering it has been said it feels as fast as the 991 turbo.

E92LNGCGY · 12-01-2015, 01:42 PM

I think the sweet spot will be the GTS (not counting the GT 911). I suspect around 450hp and close to 400 tq. Can't wait to see it.

Blksnowflake · 12-01-2015, 02:02 PM

Love it.

A bit lame IMO. Was expecting an new turbo engine based on the 4.0L... Looks nothing like some very minor mechanical tweaks and a software reflash...

Not feeling the rear end on the 991.2 Turbo. 911.1 was already really busy with all the vents, and the body color vertical slates just make it look much worse.
