Hate......hate......hate that rear end! Not crazy about the front end either!

I was in Germany in 2008 and saw the 997.2 with the camo on it.

It will be interesting to see the lines of the tail, looks a little different then the current models.

 

The tail lights will be thin and narrow. Probably the coolest part of the car.

I am not a big fan of the mirrors coming off of the doors. Still looks good though (obviously, being a 911 )

 

That's why i love the 911s. Minor tweaks to the design aside, they do not age very soon (Read - they always look the same)

 

the rear is similar to Panamera, hard to tell with the covering still disguising to finish points. Interesting to see how they kept the exhaust to the sides, seems like everybody is going to the center?

 

I don't understand. If you're trying to keep the car a semi-secret and go to the trouble of camo-ing the front end and covering the badge, why would you paint it Speed Yellow. It's my experience that everyone notices yellow - even if they don't like it, they notice it!

 

For the first time, I feel as though it looks too much like a Panamera...The technology is superior but the car looks noticeably larger and clumsier compared to the 997. I'm digging the new LED lights though!

 

The new taillights look great! Very sharp looking.

 

Maybe they're not too interested in secrecy, but are trying to generate interest and grab attention.

 

Very Panamera once you blur out the disguise !!

 

Looks like they further restricted access to the engine bay with the higher rear bumper. Not sure if the corner lights at the bottom are real or not but I don't like them much. Look like an after thought with no real purpose. Mirrors look like another change for the sake of change. Mirrors on the 997.1 look more integrated into the overall design of the car. Of course the only real way to know is to see the car in the flesh once they get to dealers.

 

It's not camo, it's decals that are supposed to appear like camo, but are really on the car to make people know that this is The New One. Otherwise the masses would never tell the difference!
