I'll admit, in the brochure pictures, the 991 looks very strange, kind of ugly. Makes the 997.2 look much better. But in the real life images and the press images, there's no competition, the 991 is one of the sexiest 911s ever!

davekrek is an unknown quantity at this point
From the German Katalog

The new 7-speed manual transmission. Purist, direct, precise. short distances and an optimal connection of the individual NEN transitions. What you expect from a Porsche gearbox. Quite rightly. What you might not expect: a 7-speed manual transmission, which sports high- with equally high sensitivity and efficiency even greater comfort on long journeys connects. This is extraordinary - not only in the sports car segment. The design principle of the transmission was the Porsche double-clutch (PDK) is derived. the transitions 1 to 6 have a sporty setup, where the top speed in 6th course is reached. The additional seventh Gang-up is translated to long. This reduces the Engine speed and reduces sensitivity to consumption values​​. The lower pump speed len also provide for higher Speeds for high travel comfort on long journeys. A gear indicator the tachometer provides additional on the selected gear. The upshift indicator in the instrument cluster helps consumption even further. By increasing the front-middle console you have a particularly short- zen way from the steering wheel to the gear lever. Athletic and can turn quickly. Whether sporty or comfortable - it remains Up to you which way you choose, while, len to find yourself or to your destination.

In short: The journey in the sailing mode reduces the Consumption significantly - without having the compromising the comfort and sportiness must make.

Cool !
