have you seen the front arches on the 992 !!

another 40mm wider track ! makes my GT3 look lame ! lol

they do battle with understeer with the 911, moving the engine in and adding front track every model, but this is a big change.
No wonder they had to bin the slim body now.

a 911 with turn in :-) what ever next.

That really is quite a dramatic difference. Wouldn't be surprised if it's also a packaging thing to create more internal room for Hybrid gubbins.

Every time I see a picture of the 992 it looks so big that it starting to look like a Panamera.

Would be nice to see the return of flared arches and though.

Exactly my thoughts - the mirrors look like they’ve come off a VW Toureag.

996 still looks the most modern design in that line-up.

According to auto express, they've apparently left room in the pdk housing for hybrid stuff but are not yet using it on the 992 as they're not yet satisfied with current battery technology

The frunk lines look like pinstriping, you can see the real joins
