Personally, I hope...
C - 400 hp
CS - 450 hp
Turbo - 550 hp
Turbo S - 600 hp

And a button that disguises it as a rusted out 71 Nova for when you are parking... :-)

Yeah, I'm also curious if they managed to add a bit more space on the rear seats..

For handling wise, I believe Porsche will keep the engine at the same position while stretch the rear wheel base backward. So I don't think we shall get more room for the rear seats.

But as for sport cars, I prefer to get better handling than more space in the back

First post update.
The rear is really looking like the wildspeed rendering in this video...sooo sexy.
The exhaust also sounds nice and deep, and louder. Does the current 997 sound like this/this loud?

Can't wait to see this car in real life. I know this car will have a lot of VW influence in it, but it may not necessary be a bad thing...

I really like it from the front...the rear at times I absolutely love but from some angles I struggle with. I think there is something about the rear hanging out too much. Still can't wait to see it. My dealer contacted me to see if I want to be on the waitlist. Not sure I am ready for it....I really like my 997.2.

I will be really disappointed if the next C2S is faster than the 997 GTS. I just ordered a GTS and expecting delivery in June

I was at the dealer yesterday checking out the GTS, its a gorgeous car...don't think you can go wrong with that but if you are worried, you may want to wait.

odds are it will be faster if it's 150lbs lighter and is 400hp or greater, which i imagine it will be.

that said, i agree that the GTS is a beauty

Yes and that we are talking about performance on straight / open road. If on track, 991 will do much better

However, the GTS is real beauty

how so? does the homogenity of brands mean the 991s will be a lil cheaper? more safety equipment or something along the lines of that?

I don't think they will be less expensive... as far as safety goes, I think not much you can do when your car is that small.
