By now, we pretty much know exactly what the new 992 Porsche 991 will look like, thanks to revealing spyshots of near-undisguised prototypes. However, our spy photographers have now captured the new car and the current 991 model line astern, giving us a better look at the changes between the generations.
At the front, the changes are subtle, with the most prominent being the longer bonnet that now ends at a new horizontal bumper shutline, giving it a more classic 911 look. The front air intakes have also been mildly reprofiled, and there are also new flush-fitting door handles and revised door mirrors.
More apparent are the tweaks at the rear of the car, including new full-width tail lights (seemingly on all models now, not just the all-wheel drive ones), a vertical centre brake light, a larger active rear spoiler and a redesigned diffuser that now carries the rear number plate recess.
Past spyshots gave us a look at an interior that looked similar to that in the new Panamera and Cayenne, with a horizontal dashboard, a tall centre console, a large centre display and (unlike the Panamera, thankfully) manual air vents. There will also be digital instruments for the first time, retaining the trademark five-dial design and flanking an analogue rev counter.
As for the engine, expect the cooking Carrera models to retain the 3.0 litre turbocharged flat-six from the facelifted 991, likely reengineered for improved power, fuel economy and emissions. The seven-speed manual and PDK dual-clutch transmissions should also soldier on.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The design is 30 over years old and yet so laku. yet, so much in demand.
I think must send our lazy Proton designers to Germany to learn a thing or two from the Germans how to design and create a car that is heavily in demand.
Proton seems to making cars that nobody wants. Something is wrong. Instead of selling to Geely we should see the root cause of the problem
Why do you need to fix something that isnt broken?
How on earth does this article relate to P1?
