(another) new 911 picture
Looks like it's more "bulgy" than the other picture I saw here posted. I like it personally.

I found these on www.autospies.com. They were supposed to be pics of the 997. One looks so retro they must have labelled it wrong....

These pics all compliment each other well. You can see the pieces in the last picture you would need to take off to make it look like the first picture. You can see the turn signals under the bumper (fake bumper) and that the current looking lights on the last picture are just some sort of decal with no depth to it.
If these are correct I like the new look. Actually I like the old look that they have reverted back to. The 993's are my favorite looking P-cars. |

For some reason, the simple addition of an older style notched hood with the cowl fresh air intake (whether functional or not) would go a long way in giving more of a proper 911 "look" to the car.

I agree 100%! This is a trademark to the 911. Have you noticed how FVD, Cargraphic and other German parts/tuning companies offer this "upgrade" for 996s. People buy these conversion front lids to make the 996 look better/older. |

I love that hood. That's why I thought the photo was of an older car and mislabelled.

I love the new look, finally Porsche went back to having fender flares. To me the 996 just didn't seem right with out the flares

The front valence is C2 reminiscent. I also like the hood vent but its not on the test car.

Too little too late. It will never be the same no matter how hard they try to trick you.

I think the silver car is photoshopped. The top pic is the actual look.
