Porsche 998 Test Mule First Spy Photos

I think he meant a wider track, not the wheelbase.

The 911 has always and will always be a gorgeous car not to mention VERY aerodynamic from a low drag point of view. As ShinyG said it is an evolution and from an aesthetic point of view, the 911 will never need to change much, just small details. However the most important thing about the 911 is that despite it looks seemingly never changing...the insides ALWAYS do, always becoming better, faster, stronger, these changes gained through Porsches experience in racing.

You might want to read a book called "Porsche 911- Perfection by Design" by Randy Leffingwell. You might actually learn something. I always feel sorry for the ignorant few who know nothing and do not realise what makes Porsche the BEST.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"-The 911 will never need to change. As for change needed at PORSCHE, what the hell do you think the Boxter, Cayman, Cayenne and Panamera are all about ? They offer porsche at different prices and different segments. In those segments their cars are also the best save for the Panamera which we have yet to see but don't be surprised...

They all look like a Porsche, but thats the same reason the GT-R looks like a nissan with the pointed back headlamps and all. For the record the GT-R is gorgeous, but the 911 is a different form of beauty.

No they clearly havent, now more than ever they stand poised to swallow all of the Volkswagen/Audi alliance or at least the MAJOR controlling share.

With cars like the Cayenne base catering to even lower market groups, Porsche toying with the idea of an even lower-model and having Audis' Diesel technology, not to mention ALL technology from the VAG group they stand only to make more money and stand even further above other manufacturers.

Remember, now that Porsche is in-line to run the whole show....all money made by VAG eventually ends up in the hands of Porsche. So all those Golfs, Polos, Boras, Passats, Ibizas and so on and so forth.....all that cash comes back to big daddy Porsche. It all comes back to the Genius possessed by the folks over at Stuttgart.

Digging a hole you say ? Nahhh, they were digging for gold and oil...and damn....they found it. Gonna find even more as time goes on. Not only does Porsche make the BEST sports cars in the world but their also financial wizzes. I suppose thats to be expected tho, before they made cars, they were financial advisors....that does explain everything.

Thank you. Everyone wait for an other design...choose another car!

I'm not sure, if it is really a complete new 911 or just another version. Maybe a GTS or so (like Cayenne)?

Will they change the shell on the '1000?'

However lets say the 911 is getting "boring" for some Porsche fans. The Cayman S is a very good car and yea it does look like a Porsche but its not what somebody would call a 911 rip-off either. Also with Porsche testing a Cayman turbo, Porsche fans who want something as fast or almost as fast but dont want the "boring" look now have an option. Dont worry brother, while i know the 911 won't change, not for a while, the other models Cayman and Boxter won't have to stick to the 911-esque looks since they're "new" models, they have a bit more freedom there.

all that aside, i hope the new turbo blitzes the GT-R on the 'ring. for all im a bimmer man and not a porsche-lover, the throne of the ring should be in germany, where it belongs.

but i reckon the f1 takes the cake. nothing, with the possible exception of the track-only merc clk gtr, was even in the same friggin league for roundabouts a decade. am i right in thinking thats the only time thats happened in all the history of motoring?

As for Supercars, Ferrari ftw. =) Not the California or 612 though.
