Nice pics,,on Porsche behalf is this enough?

The car looks like another facelift & a body tuck on the current 996.
You can definitely see the 993 influence in pic 3.

Hopefully it will look much better and have more presence in the flesh.

www.997tt.com/997/

Stuck some fotos I can find there.

The site listed above is rather slow, so thought it would be good to stick them on a nicer link and get them all in one place.

Lemme know if anyone has others.

Nice work JB, but what do you think of it as a 996 owner?

As a 993 owner who wouldn't even touch a 996 with someone else's bargepole, I like it. A lot, in fact.

993 > 996 for porsche purism BUT the 993 interior is Dire.

I wanted a 993, but just couldnt 'do' the interior... its not 70k car worthy.

I dont like the stock 996 looks, hence the Aerokit.. it think it adds the 'heritage' back..

Stock a 996 is jsut too skinny at the rear. porsche realised this and out popped the 4s.

i hope the 997 will redress this, be the car the 996 should have been, 993 looks mated with a 996 interior.

For me, a 911 NEEDS wide hips, rear wheels where the INSIDE of the tyre comes close to the location of the outside of the fronts.. the stock 996 is practially flat.. needing spacers to 'fix' its stance.

One can but hope..

I keep hearing rumours of a price drop too tho, £57k for a baseline model... but rumours are just that.

I would think your best placed to comment, having gone from 996 ---> 993.
