The Porsche 911 model series (pronounced Nine Eleven or in German: Neunelf) is a family of German two-door, high performance rear-engine sports cars, introduced in September 1964 by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany.

It looks wide alright, it'll be interesting to see just by how much over the Carrera its become.

I love that they have seemingly kept the launch color dark grey. As much as I hate seeing droves of vehicles wearing this dull uninspiring color at every street corner, in every dealership, in every other commercial, I just think it suits the 911 Turbo like a tailored glove. You just want to see this gloomy colored menacing state-of-the-art German weapon cutting through the mist and effortlessly ripping the wet Autobahn tarmac to pieces with its four sticky driving wheels on a dark dismal overcast day.

I don't think that colour is dark grey. Porsche's dark grey is Agate Grey and that's not it. More likely it's GT Silver which is quintessentially 911 Turbo.

It may well be, or perhaps a new slightly darker grey that sits in-between GT Silver and Agate Grey. Either way, my point is that they seem to have sticked to a variation of grey, i.e. a relatively dull discreet faceless non-color that's indeed ultimately 911 Turbo, as the ruthless cold-blooded asphalt eating missile that it is. As opposed to the more theatrical bright exotic paints that are perfectly suited for the 911 GT models.

PS: this grey certainly seems like it

As mentioned here before it looks wider than the regular 911. Maybe my memory doesn't serve me well but I remember when the 992 was presented, they said that there will be only one width of the body.

Yes I also remember being said that. And I hope it's not wider, because the new 911 Carrera is already big and wide car.

Yes you're right. That's definitely a colour in-between GT silver and Agate grey in that shot. I love it!PS: this grey certainly seems like it

Wonder why they have tape over the air intake,could this be a Carrera sport classic, or Carrera RS prototype instead?

If you look closely you can see carbon buckets and a roll cage,could this be a modern day Carrera RS in the making?
