Autobild is reporting that the engines will be 3.4L and 3.8L in the S, with only 345bhp and 395bhp. i'm pretty disappointed -- was really hoping for more juice. Otherwise all the sites seem to confirm that it will be a bit longer in length, bit shorter in height, panamera-like interior, 7 speed manual, 20" rims on the S, etc. This link below has some better gossip -- that Porsche will eventually use turbos on the entire 911 lineup, etc.

Just a 10hp bump for the 991-S? Disappointed.

im sure i will like the car, but that being said I LOVE my 997.2. With those HP & Trq numbers the new car should not be any faster than the 997.2. It will be more nimble I believe for guys that track there car. And seeing shots of the interior it might be too much of a change. But to me the 997.2 is the Ultimate for me looks and performance

The 991's may look similar to 997 but they would be a much better car

Fully understand that you love your car
but 130 lbs. lighter do mean a lot to performance in both straight and curve. Not to mention 4 inches longer wheelbase will allow them to put the engine in a better position (forward) for better balance.

Yes, I'm confident that I will like this 991. I think the changes, which may be minor to people who don't follow Porsche, will be a significant step forward to the evolution of the 911 all around.

It's not all about horsepower.
If rumors for a much lighter car, which I don't see a reason for not happening after seeing what they did with the cayenne, then performance wise we are going to see a faster, more agile and even more efficient car from Porsche...
I curious to see the new pricing in the US.

This is stated to be Spring 2011 avaliability and is just a confirmation that the new 991 is coming next year as Porsche always come up with special editions which are value-oriented before a major change.
