I actually kind of like the tails, there's something fluid about them. Reducing how pronounced the headlights are, and sleeking things out one model at a time is a shame though.

996 was poo.

993 or 997

Quoted for truth.

Big angry 993 Turbo would be the dream.

The text on the rear end is awful, two different fonts. Looks out of place.

Some official details too:

Porsche has officially released the 2012 911 (991) model.

As expected, the 911 has been stretched some, with a wheelbase 100 mm (10 cm/3.9 inches) longer than it's predecessor.

The new 911 Carrera also comes with a body made of intelligent aluminum-steel for reduced weight and greater rigidity. The car has a wider track at the front and rides on 20-inch wheels.

Under that rear bonnet comes a 3.4 liter boxer engine with 350 PS (257 kW / 345 bhp) for the standard Carrera and a 3.8 liter with 400 PS (294 kW / 394 bhp) for the Carrera S (torque figures were not provided).

The Carrera S with the PDK transmission does the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in just 4.3 seconds - 4.1 with the Sport Plus function in the optional Sport Chrono package. Those numbers are 4.6 and 4.4 seconds, respectively, for the standard 911 Carrera.

Other technologies available include the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), available for the first time on the Carrera S, which provides an optimized cornering with intelligent distribution of lateral forces.

The 2012 Porsche 911 will make its global debut at the Frankfurt motor show on September 13. The model goes on sale on December 3 but will start taking orders as early as September 1.

Prices in Germany will start at €88,038 for the 911 Carrera and €102,436 for the Carrera S, VAT included. In the United Kingdom 911 models will be in Porsche Centers from December 17, 2011 at £71,449 and £81,242, respectively. Prices in the U.S. are listed at a base MSRP of $82,100 and $96,400 (excluding destination).

Re: 2012 Porsche 911 (991)

I was behind a nice black 930 today and in my opinion it is a way cooler, better looking car than say the last 2 iterations and maybe even the last 4.

Re: 2012 Porsche 911 (991)

There was a 993T with some sort of exhaust (or lack thereof) romping down the whitemud today. Holy jesus, it sounded pretty amazing, so raw. I wish the 991 had more pronounced headlights.

I hope they don't discontinue the manual GT3, that would bother me greatly. I couldn't give a **** how fast it shifts. Look at the new Lambo and the LF-A in their Tips they detuned them to give more lash to give the car more feedback as people were complaining that the continuous uninterrupted power made the car boring to drive.

Re: 2012 Porsche 911 (991)

Well with Porsche bringing out the 7 speed manual I would think they are keeping the choice of transmissions for a few years at least.

I really like the look of the 911 Black Edition.
