A few images of 991 non-S turbo spotted in Stuttgart (not by me). I like it. A lot. Wheels are fantastic. Bring on the Aerokit...

There's a nice curvy 'coke bottle' shape going on there. It's also noticeable on the new 991 C4S in the right colours.

Also, never been a fan of 'sunroofs', but that works quite well.

Like a lot but the 991 GT3 steals it in terms of desirability for me

Perhaps, but they are different cars for different buyers.

Entered the competition that finished yesterday on "Best of the Best" to win a Turbo &/or a gt3. . . . . . . suffice to say that if a miracle occurs I wouldn't send any of them back , nor take the cash alternative. PDK will be fine with me driving I can survive without that.

Thought the 991 looked great as an S in white, but this is even better & the glass roof gives it a little of the good looks enjoyed by the 997 targa.

Rims are 20". Never been a fan of 911 turbo wheels before, but these are uber sexy



I think i'd like to see a bigger (more aggressive) lip-spoiler, but apart from that i'd be very tempted to have one if i had the cash. Deffo a car for the future driving

Very smooth organic look compared to previous models.

I look forward to driving one.

Looks great. I also like the 997 Turbos - they have great road presence - and this looks like a natural evolution.

Agree about the 'black' sunroof. Although it loses a bit of the 911's traditional sweeping roof line, in a light colour, it draws the eye to the curvature of the wings.

The lip spoiler is active - has moveable elements similar to the rear spoiler

Does both the turbo and turbo-S have the active lip spoiler?.. Wonder if it has an override switch like the rear spoiler so can be permanently active scratchchin

the only thing i don't like is the black plastic air intakes, is it too much to ask they're painted?

(though i guess it'll be free to ask but £££ to get them done!)
