Top-Secret 911 Pictures Released
Today, Porsche officially disclosed top-secret pictures of the new “Neunelfer”, a.k.a. the 2012 Porsche 911. Most of these pictures have already been all over the webs. In a year, you’ll find them on Wikileaks.
In the name of completeness, here is the whole take, released today, along with the news that:
“At 48, the Porsche 911 Carrera is younger than ever: The completely redesigned generation of the sports car icon is stepping into the limelight with its flat, stretched silhouette, exciting contours and precisely designed details, yet from the very first glance it remains unmistakably a 911. True to the 911 tradition, the distinctive Porsche design language with its tendons and muscles exudes power and elegance.”
Who’s writing those lines?

- Lorenzo If Stellantis had any cojones, they'd have re-named it "Adolfo" after the Italian Business Minister. Let him argue that's an Italian name.
- FreedMike Very nice.
- Lorenzo Ford finally beats out Tesla at something: fixing production flaws. When the flaws are obvious, you get to fix them earlier.
- Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Its a wagon I'd like to have, but it's a VW that can be a decent hit or a terrible miss. I would not want auto nor with a sunroof. That's a tough find.
- Lorenzo If only it had an automatic, it could have been sold at any senior center in America.

That interior just does not have the charm of even the 997, not to mention the 993. It's nice, just too "business class" for a sportscar with a long tradition.
As there are no feature pages anymore, I'd presume that this is the contemporary style of "using curlers on a bald head." (Karl Kraus).
