Hi, I'm 13 and I have just recently completed a render of the Porsche 991. First, I’d like to clarify, that the chance of the next generation 911 is more likely to be called the 991, rather than the 998, because the internal code-name for the 997 project was, “997”, and the internal codename for this project is “991”.

The Porsche 991 will overall be a larger car than the 997. This increase in size will be due to a larger passenger area, and also to meet strict crash regulations. The rear seat space will be dramatically increased, and you’ll actually be able to fit more than two people in the 911. The car will sport a significantly wider track, for more grip, and also, again, for the passenger space.

Let’s talk bodywork alterations. The only parts of the car that will remain the same are the side doors on the 991 Cabriolet models, and the roof panels on the coupe models. The front will sport higher wings, ovular style headlights, a new fascia, an adjustable splitter, LED DTRL’s, and a more circular bonette. In the rear will be very similar but different LED taillights. The lights will be longer and flatter to fit the new rear qtr panels, and will obviously have a re-designed LED panel. The Porsche 911’s today are known for their spoilers that extend at 75mph, and retract at 32mph. The 991 will retain that same functionality, but instead of the spoiler being integrated into the engine ventilation, the spoiler will be integrated to the body work just below the engine compartment, and just like the splitter, it will be adjustable. Of course new side mirrors on the a-pillars, and the rear diffuser will face a minor refresh, updating it to the current Porsche design DNA.

All of the new 991 models may feature standard PASM, and for the four wheel drive variants, standard Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) for extended traction, and better performance on differentiating terrain. The new 911 models will all be lighter, making it unnecessary for a significant power increase. The new models will all increase power on an average of 15-35 bhp. This minor power increase also means no reason to change the displacement; the 991 models will be available with either a 3.6 liter, or a 3.8 liter engine.

As efficiency is a must, Porsche’s doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK), will be optional over a standard manual transmission. The lighter bodywork construction will also increase efficiency, as well as a standard start/stop function with an increased response at stoplights. Increasing the efficiency of 911 models even further, the brake energy regeneration system, KERS, will become standard among all 911 models. Porsche might even choose to make this energy accessible while using launch control in PDK, or possibly a push button use for manual transmission cars. Porsche could possibly reduce .2 seconds off 0-60 times if this technology is used.

All of this seems like a lot, and some of this information is only based off of speculation and spy photos. But we can definitely expect a very significant improvement over all of the ne 911 models for the 991. Price increase won’t be too dramatic at about $4,000 per or more per model. We can hope to see this new model range unveiled in late 2011, and hit dealers in mid 2012. The new range will include all of the familiar 911 models, and possibly a few additional models added. In 2016 we will get a look at a facelifted version of the 991, and in 2019, an entirely new 911 model range. But look out; this could be the last time you will be able to buy a 911 with a manual transmission.

Here is a render I made of it base off of spy photos, and inspired by TEAM member Wild-Speed’s rendering of a 991 Cabriolet.

Here is my first fully fledged render I made, and it's of the no other than the Porsche 911 (991) Carrera.



And here is a realistic version of the render.



As always, if you want the full sized image (3000x1560), hit me up with a PM.

If you have any suggestions about things that I should change or add to my renders, feel free to tell me. I also want some criticism

 

If you want a Carrera 4 or 4S, here is your model.



And for those of you that like retro styling...



And without the text.

 

with all respect,...I dont see a any differences except for exhaust and taillights.
And imo there is something wrong with the left rear part of the car
looks like a step backwards, dont like it... sorry

 

Thanks for the criticism and I respect your opinion. I had a feeling people wouldn't like it because I made it with the 996 in my mind, and I know how people don't like that car. Yes, I know it looks very similar, but until you compare it to the source image, you don't see much of a difference.



You really have to look at all of the small details.

Thanks for the criticism though.

 

I want to see a front rendering.

.................

 

It's cool, I like the taillights. Turbo was right, the left side of your wing is off a bit. in perspective there should be less space between the 2 gaps on the left. Also, I think porsche designers will come up with a more creative way to integrate the wing. . .it will have more flow, kind of like the panamera. You are full of talent, may I suggest trying to be a little more creative with the design details? What would a 991 GT2 look like?

 

Thanks, and yes, believe me I spent a very long time trying to proportion the wing, but I wasn't successful. As for the 991 GT2, I have no idea what it might look like. But when spyshots surface, don't doubt me


I'm workin' on

Next week my friend.

 

As I mentioned that rear deck-lid is just way to busy and I think all the "spy" renderings are way off we have seen from the other auto-rags

 

I still think it looks busy too. It also looks busy on the source image too, but thats just how Porsches are

 

the wing a little bit more to the left and the left rearlight a little bit more to the right and a bit up, i think this should look better.
But thanks for the soure image, there are way more differences than I thought.
I saw the 996 style in it, that's true, that's why I like the current one more.
