911 (991) Porsche 911 (991.2) Facelift - Spy Pics & Info

[Centurion]

^Yes, I don't get SRB either - but it sounds a lot like it uses a jumpy throttle mapping to hide lag, which doesn't sound too appetizing.

Also read somewhere it uses BMW style synthesized sound, not sure how true.

I find it SRB to be a turn off. Why should a driver have to press several buttons for his Porsche to behave like a Porsche. I think SRB will work by keeping the engine at slightly higher revs so that the turbo is spooling fast enough for the power to be delivered the second you floor it. This will off course, have an affect on fuel consumption.

My F30 320d work in a similar fashion that I need to put the engine in Sport and the Gearbox in Sport mode for it to feel as fast and responsive as you would expect a BMW to.



Queue the resale value of 996s climbing in 3.........2.........1

It seems the Turbo is once again looking worse than the previous version. Sad...

Where are the C2 and CS2 models without central exhaust, black diffuser and holes in the flanks of the bumper?

Looks official, minus the badging.

Every single 911 revolution turns out be a winner. They know how to re-interpret that profile every life cycle.

Not officially from Porsche at least, that is Georg Kacher in the car

The rear lights looks like it still has some camo.

The pics are from this article:

So the central exhaust is for the optional sports exhaust and not the GTS as others have indicated. I'm guessing the GTS will launch in a year or two to boost sales.

The rear lights looks like it still has some camo.

They have have camo according to the automobile mag that Merc1 posted above.

There is leaked pictures available now but I do not know if it is an actual car or a fibre glass model since it is attached to a piece of sculpture vertically.

Don't be shy, spill the fibre glass

Sorry, forgot to reload

Hopefully we get to hear the new turbo charged flat-6 soon. Based on the automobilemag review , it seems pointless to rev it any higher than 5000rpm beyond which it seems the torque curve bottoms out. I like the nip and tuck treatment and the subtle interior improvement are much welcome. But again, waiting for official release
