Looks fantastic! Great share.

Looks great! First pics are WAY too big...

Honestly, forget the 991...I'll take a 981 please. This thing is so perfectly proportioned, and that taillight spoiler integration is slick as fuck. Love the color choices here too.

I dunno I couldn't see me buying one but it does look a lot better. I like the hints from the Carrera GT e.g. spoiler integration and the side vent. Interior is also a lot better.

I like the taught shaping, especially around the sides and rear, plus the front end lacks the gimicky look of those wrap-around LEDs that the 991 has (not that they look bad, mind you). I think the vents look more purposeful. the rear more athletic, and the front more solid and masculine.

I'd like to see a tuner install a minor CF front lip and swap out the rear diffuser insert for something more aggressive, while changing the exhaust ports to split duals instead of that center exit (my one gripe about this design).

Love It

Wow that is beautiful. I was considering the new 911 for the next car but I think this looks even better

Wraith. · 01-12-2012, 12:26 PM

Would love to see those 1st pics re-sized.

BMW269 · 01-12-2012, 12:45 PM

Sorry for the large pics. You can see all details on Porsche website.

krnboy817 · 01-12-2012, 03:09 PM

guess the 80s olsmobile gold paint color CAN look good on a car. it just needed a right car until now.

krnboy817 · 01-12-2012, 03:10 PM

i wonder what that small black button looking thing is on the picture with the steering wheel?

and i really wish they would of kept the old style gauges... the ones you can see out through in the older models.

MikeyV · 01-12-2012, 03:32 PM

This looks awesome, I can't wait to see the Caymen.

persian54 · 01-12-2012, 03:37 PM

wow........ I could really see myself in one of these... I had an old boxster...this is something else!
