Someone clever can probably get them to show on this thread...

Interestig new look; I like thr front view of the Cabriolet...not sure about the rear...

I like it. BUT I doubt it will be quite that radical of a change... I mean there are some quite major changes there. But I do think it will be a softer version of that.

I'm not that clever!





BTW robmug, it's quite easy to do. Just right click the image you want to save and then click on the "save image" text, then use the image uploader here on PH.

I dont think that is radical enough in terms of change to be honest.

Only on a Porsche forum would you got anyone calling those "quite major changes"

There's a bit of black trip around the headlights... how much more major do you want??

The 911 is an icon, and the look never changes too much from generation to generation. This is quite a change, and Porsche will be aware that lots of their customers (me included) buy a 911 because of its history.

Do you see Caterham changing the design of the Super Seven.... they might make odd changes, make the lights different, wider suspension, maybe change the dash... but the overall shape is very similar... and for good reason.

My understanding has always been that the next generation of the '911' (although it hasn't had that designation for 20 years ) would be the most radical since the 993>996, with a new platform and new engines, but retaining the packaging that has made the 911 such a durable success.

With the changes in ownership and management, I can't see the new model (998, 991 ?) being announced until 2012. In the meantime, there will be lots of spy-shots of mules, test vehicles and pohto-shop speculation.

Porsche tend to play their cards close to their chest until they are ready.

That was just a marketing ploy
