Also wondering if the new wheelbase will mean a more 'comfortable' rear seat in the cab. The current cab has an almost 90 degree rear seat back.

Interesting if you note the two round markers in the back seat. It looks like LATCH attachments, which are not present in the current 911, as we parents know.
Perhaps this one will allow a back facing baby seat, which will imply better room, as I tried to fit a car seat facing back and is just not feasible.
Selling that idea today for the better half, proper family car real (little) people carrier, sensitive and economic with 7th gear. Not to mention that the brochure is printed in recycled paper...

Not sure if you're serious or not. In order to get those images, the front seats must have been removed.

And YES McLane, the seats have ISO-Fix Latches...

Love the inclusion of the lower backrest pads. Long overdue.

It seems also that the backrest angle is a little more than the usual 90 degrees
The seats also have some extra lateral padding not currently present and the curvature of the side panel also appears to add some milimiters to the cozy backseat

I hope this bodes well for the cab version - that's one thing I hate about the 997 - the backseat backrest is at a more forward angle than the coupe. It would be ideal if both body styles had the same back seat arrangement.

In the pre launch test they said the rear seat space is unchanged (subjectively). ISOFIX attachments on the rear seat would be a major improvement!!! One reason why I HAD to sell my 997tt.

I am sure this is a 3d render.

Well it needs to be so if they finally put an angle on it then it's about time. Padding, curvature etc...it's all a step in the right direction imo even though I'm not likely to do much riding back there.

The one issue I see is the lack of an armrest along the outer wall below the window. Seems like it would be uncomfortable.

According to the Porsche's R&D manager, there is more legroom in the backseat.
