Nice shots...were you there? Thanks for the sneak-peek!

I like the side air intake gills. Also noted the use of the yellow caliper covers.
Good lines overall...wonder when we'll see road test results.

Very nice from the back, not so from the sides I think!


Cool photos, Porsche will be ripped when they hear about it.

You saw it HERE ON 986FORUM first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not like the look and feel of the new shift knobs Porsche has designed for their new cars. Reminds me of the nasty round one I yanked out of my 1997 the second I found one on Ebay with which to replace it.

Soooo Beautiful!!

It definitely has a profile problem, and the front foglights look too trendy for me. The air intakes now look like Porsche is copying Hyundai rather than Toyota though.

no these photos are in Germany.
The LA sightings haven't revealed any pics yet. If you live near Westwood keep your digital camera handy if they haven't already finished shooting the commercial.

I don't get the bubble top at all. Now they can't even put a sunroof in it.

They should've made it a notchback. It's too 911/Bug/TT/Crossfire looking. A notchback would've made it look a little more Boxster, which we all know is badass looking.

Whoever designed the wheels should have their ass kicked.

The side vents look even worse than the 987.

The rear quarter panel that goes down at a 45 degree angle doesn't work on the 987 and doesn't work here either.

Rear quarter windows should've been a little longer.

Foglights are lame. 987 front end looks better.

Ugly interior with even uglier steering wheel. Nice square glovebox. LOL.

Performance-wise, it'll kick ass. But looks-wise, it doesn't move me at all.

I think the car looks cool. Here are a couple revisions. Lose the gills and shift inlet back and up slightly, and 86 the foglights -as such...

[Perfectlap]

Jeph can you put the 911 Turbo healdights on it too?!

Delaers are now taking deposits in the uK - brochures are out. Launch date here 26th Nov.

Base price is £34k (compared to £32k for the 2.7 and £38k for the 987 S )

Leather and 18" alloys std.

Xavier: You got it! Your's looks like the changes they need to make to dump the TT-top. Your's makes it look like Pinnin-Farina (sp?) got the final sketches. Love it...

..and Jeph: I'll bet the aftermarket guys are already drooling over the changes they can offer. Those 'fogs' are the first thing to unbolt.

Good work guys.

I think it looks good, especially the inside but I also agree that it is a little TT'esque. I guarantee once someone throws some staggered deep lip type wheels on it everyone will be wanting one.

From the looks of the pic with the rear lid up, this is fer sure going to be a car you can only work on from the bottom side. You will need arms like a chimpanzee to get at anything from the top.
A good looking car in any event, although I think I could do without the round fog lights.
Let's see, if I can peddle my '99 for about $25k, that would only leave me about $40k short ... oh well, maybe a used one in a few years.

These are great pics- I put a deposit on one today and the more I see the more I like! I cant wait!
