Pictures of new 911 leaked

Just found this link on the Top Gear site. What do you think of the new look?

This is the new Porsche 911 - BBC Top Gear

I like it from the front and side angles. I'm not crazy about the back end. It's rather Panamera-ish..

I think the front and side view are great, but it looks pretty bad from the rear. I also don't like that the interior shots show PDK instead of a proper manual gearbox.

A manual will be available. Seven speed even, so I've heard...

To be honest I quite like it. I´m not too impressed with the side mirrors however.They look somehow out of place

I know there will be a manual. I'm just stating that it's sad that "the ultimate sports car" is being shown in what can only be assumed as it's initial studio shots with an automatic gearbox.

targamaniac,

Sorry to highjack your thread.

For the last few months, there have been ongoing rumor(s) regarding the re-introduction of the 911-964 model Targa with the removable/folding top in the 2012 model year.

Has anyone heard anything?

Thanks,

Gerry

Here's a pic of our Ferrari red '86 from last X-MAS.

One of the captions said the read axle moved 70mm, but weight distribution is still the same. How is that possible?

EDIT:
In this video you can see how far back/open the glass roof skylight opens.
