And Leon's Getting Larger............

I saw these pictures on another site a member took of the new 991 911 series vs. the older 993 series (1995-1998) of the 911. The new 991's roofline looks similar to the Panamera in one of the pictures, the overall size increase in the cars is amazing when they're viewed side by side. Since the overall bloating of "sports cars" topic has been discussed recently I've been paying more attention to newer cars' proportions vs. prior generations. It should prove interesting to see pictures of the new Boxster sitting next to the 986 series.





Now for the TRULY amazing stat:

Per Porsche, 991 curb weight is 3,042 lbs vs the 993 curb weight of 3,064 lbs. Mainly achieved through extensive use of aluminum and high strength steels, you gotta hand it to them.
