I hope the real car doesn't end up looking like that, I really don't like that metal part

 

I joke that Porsche's engine designs are an Engineer's dream and nightmare-

Dream- b/c it doesnt need to be pretty.

Nightmare b/c it needs to be extremely efficient out of such a small area.

 

Hmmm... i've never been a 911 (or even a Porsche) guy, did little to appeal to me. But, somehow, I find myself debating whether the new 991 will be my next car (and a replacement for my R8 at that!). I was thinking maybe a Carrera 4S... but I have read that the new 991 Turbo is losing the garish huge rear wing... if so, that too will also be a candidate.

Also, I think the fact that it will be slighlty larger and better kitted out in terms of the interior can only be a good thing... it means it can truly be a more accomplished daily driver?

 

the interior is about the same as the current panamera,

 

The interior looks very "heavy". More minivan than sportscar.

 

agreed. hopefully it's just a matter of time for us to get used to. it's not ''simple'' anymore. instead it's more luxurious. i like the larger exterior & interior. sure looks like it'll be a better ''daily driver'' than the current 997.

 

Dont know how much of that is truth.

With all of the recent magazines writing about the 991 testing in South Africa, Porsche went ahead and released a video themselves...

Do u notice that the shifting of the pdk transmission is different? more aggressive, like in the 458! love this video.

 

The Engine compartment has me scratching my head a bit, is it really that small?
