It will take some time getting used to, then it will probably be concidered as one of the most beautiful 911s. All though I really liked the 997, it had some flaws. I think the back of this 991 looks absolutely stunning eventhough it is a lot different from the 997 concerning how conservative porsche are. I don't know about the led driving light in the front, and how it curves around the front-end grill. they should've done it a little more narrow and not with that shape, but rather quite straight.

You gotta respect 911 designers. I mean, takes this new one as an example, it definitely looks very futuristic and modern, yet still completely identifiable as a 911, and has remained so since it's birth !! Incredible !!

Totally agreed. The new 911 has a very sleek shape. With some aero parts I bet it will look even more stunning.

Yes, and I guess the convertible version will be the most beautiful porsche cab ever!

Porsche simply upped the "911" factor - by a few notches. IMHO, I would never get bored seeing a 911 and the new-gen variants would be one of the most "head-turning" sportscars in modern times.

Looks great, best since 993 although it would be nice if it has a ducktail and the two tail lights are connected like the GTS or the 993. I would pick the regular manual Carrera. Shame about the interior! It looks low rent compared to a Nissan GTR. And they still put that stupid PDK thumb +/- shifters instead of paddleshifters!

paddleshifters are an option. Porsche said, most people are driving the PDK in automtic mode, if someone wants some extra engagement he can order it seperately. P.S. Porsche interiors are always top notch in terms of craftsmanship. it may look conservative in those pictures, but imagine it in black with carbon and u`ll have a winner!

I wonder what is meant by "intelligent aluminum". Do other manufacturers use remedial aluminuim?

Its still the sexiest looking and sounding car ever made. There will never be a more seductive car than the 911. Emotion on wheels.

Porsche may be science on wheels whilst Ferrari is poetry in motion, but the former has something the latter never had; a constant Holy Grail that is The 911. Design evolution at its very best. Great curves, great car.

the ferrari 355, 360, 430 and now 458 do not seem to follow any particular design pattern...they seem like to be designed out of any random and impulsive ideas which do not share any commonality.. but this 911, the continuality of the classical design is so apparent.. which makes it look so long lasting.. this is a truly beauty, i really don't know who will want a R8 instead which looks so tasteless..

Same old, same old. With bigger wheels. Porsche, please build us something mid engined to go up against the 458 & R8.

Y-A-W-N its the same look for the last 40 years time to give it a rest!
