Great job, added your rear renderings to OP!

 

Here are the latest renderings of the 991's rear end in the mountains.

Thanks for viewing everyone!

 

I'm curious to see if they do the back script like the Panamera and Cayenne with "P O R S C H E" in uppercase lettering?

Like this maybe?

 

I've always wondered how the red reflector strip between the taillights of the Carrera 4 models would look like if they lit up. Think Lincoln MKX-style, pre-facelift. No?

I hope the "P O R S C H E" lettering doesn't make it to the 991 and the rear deck lid remains marked by a simple "Carrera" or "Carrera _" denomination. Does anyone think the reflector strip will make a comeback for the next-generation 4 models?

Interesting idea DJ. I have to agree with Porschephile88 though. I hope they leave the PORSCHE lettering on the rear end to the Panamera/Cayenne.

 

^^Well Fine then!!!

 

all the renderings in this thread are really good, great job DJ and Carrara!

i'd love to see one GT3RS version in RS orange/green

 

I believe Porsche plan on unveiling it this year, however it probably won't go on sale until next year (possibly spring) as there are still a few variants of the 997 coming out (e.g. Black Edition in April)... they won't want to rush the 997 out the door this year - in my opinion - and jeopardize potential sales of the last batch.

 

As is my understanding, Porsche has no issues selling or even producing two separate vehicle models. From what I've heard and read, their production facilities in Zuffenhausen can easily produce different models, so having a 997 and 991 on the same floor wouldn't do too much harm; especially considering any good deals that salespeople would make on 997s to get them off dealer lots.

Reps at Porsche Centre Kuwait told me that the 991 will be coming to Kuwait sometime in January or February 2012, so that should be a general timeframe for the Middle East market. Porsche already confirmed that the 991 will be unveiled at the IAA in Frankfurt in September 2011, and the first dealers [in Germany, possibly other European markets] will have the car on display in December. Sales should commence around September, but dealers are already taking down payments for the vehicle as solid expressions of ownership intent.

Quote from somebody on another forum who has seen the 991 undisguised before commenting on my rendering:

"yes, this drawing is pretty accurate (as far as I remember)."
