998 pic from R&T

Many will say the 996 was a disappointment from the looks side. I would guess that the only reason the 997 was so overwhelmingly liked was due to the switch back to the round headlights. I for one look forward to seeing the new design and welcome the evolutionary change that Porsche brings to the table.
still it was the first water-cooled engine for 911.

It's the '80s all over again... at least with US car manufacturers.
V8s are gone, V6s are doubtful, 4-bangers will be the norm.

did annual today. hit 71K! my service advisor said there is talk of an 8, but like in '13...he said he got that from their intranet or some such. a 4.3L. he is usually spot on, though. showed me a porsche post there on the 918. they are sending out some sort of packet to GT2/3, TT, GT owners to guage interest. looks they were fishing for interest in a car approaching 600-700K. my house is 1/3 that!

The car dances harmonically and its rear-biased mass motion is special. Today's car does that well, but let me tell you... the original '64 car did it even better, but of course it was more difficult to drive and it separated the men from the boys. [/quote]
Amen, brother. I couldn't have stated it better. And.....I sure do miss my 356 SC that I sold for tuition in '71.

can't see Porsche or other carmakers going with bigger displacement at this time when going 'green' is in..

That's a really old rendering - don't know why it is resurfacing again on the car mags. I saw it several months ago and I think I googled around and found posts over a year old with the same drawing. Can't imagine it will be close if it is like most of those renderings. Like the BMW F10 5 series - the drawings floating about before it was official weren't even close.
