Thanks to some of our local chums a 2012 991 S stopped by the Shark Tank for a visit earlier this week:


She's a big girl and yes the rear end is very Aston Martin-like. But at least we've finally gotten rid of those external 5mph bumperettes eh?



The front end is a bit stubby by comparison to the old one to accommodate the new wheel base:



Somehow even the 20s don't really "look" like 20s but they are:



The best angle I think


I do like the way the wing functions:


There's a lot to like, the engine/exhaust note sounds better stock vs the 997.2 PDK we had. The car inside is a plush/luxurious place to be. I don't know that I'd call it 911-business like anymore and if you've sat in a Panamera then you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. Lot's of buttons, too many and sadly one for the hand-brake. Neat sun-roof. Mirrors are sort of like a 993 but way too big/bulbous. The front trunk area has a pretty naff battery cover and weird empty spaces underneath. Also looking from the middle of the car forward you end up seeing a very very large gap under the hood which is odd and seems unfinished but minor gripes. There's a lot of suspension, links/changes too. And pressed steel instead of aluminium. More to come

I don't know that black really shows off the 991 in its best light but I'm starting to get used to 'em.

Soooo... You didn't hook it up with an ECU flash and muffler bypass yet? What's taking so long?

Thanks for the pics!

Nice. Real nice.

Thanks for posting the pics! Looking forward to hearing about all the magic you will work on the 991's.

How about the pics from underneath?
I wonder if the PDCC car has a different cross member -- the idea of a stamped metal brace in the "all aluminum" 911 doesn't fit too well.

Pics don't work but I can't wait to see some modified 991's by you guys!

^^ agreed. Pics don't work, but looking forward to the work you guys will do on the 991s.
