2005 911

Is this how the 911 will develop?

[Scottster]

Have to say I like it, looks very aggressive, look forward to seeing the Turbo/RS/GT versions !!

[hoganscrogan]

hope so!! (develops like link)

[stevenrt]

sure, get rid of the xenon headlights and put mid engine air vents on a rear engine car!

[dubbs]

That looks big enought o be the 928 replacement they've been talking about. Isn't it going to be a 998 or something?

[aca]

Add me to the waiting list!!!!

ahh, photoshop is a powerful tool. But it must only be used for good (putting your gf's face on a supermodel's porno shots), and never for evil (creating the "next" 911 by chopping up pics of the current 911 and throwing in pieces from the carrera gt).

Ist is in fact a photoshop pic. 1999 made Porsche a series for future with the Question: How long can we sell the 911? A picture like this was offered in ams Auto Motor und Sport..

[Roadrunner]

Looks good, wasn't expecting it to be though.

Dunno. I actually think it looks a bit bland --somehow the 911 DNA seems only just to be hanging on by its fingertips...

[Roadrunner]

manek, 90% of that dna was left in the 993. The gradual changes now just seem like little nudges forward.

[Twin Turbo]

Well, at least it's better looking than the Cayenne.....

[Frankonia]

All this comments are right. But this design will not produced, while the TUV will not accept this big wholes in the side.

[Roadrunner]

eh?

[domster]

Dunno what the problem with holes in the side is, unless they are caused by rust!

The Ferrari 360 has got holes in the side, etc etc - why wouldn't it get passed TUV Frankonia, please tell?

[mr_tony]

is there a maximum air intake area? Surely if they mesh over it it makes no odds anyway....

[Roadrunner]

Those intakes would be rather good at hoovering up natures fluffy snacks!

[Frankonia]

to domster.
The Ferrari 360 got the specification while the car is not produced in Germanyand the holes are smaller.
Porsche will have no chance to bring a design like this on market.
TÜV will bring 100 safety-aspects and so on.
You also have lots of trouble with a low-cost-carprojekt only in Germany.
If you build a for yourself you need a ´Einzelgutachten` This paper from a technical instidution about the static for the chassis and suspension will cost 20.000 Pounds. Then you need a crastest in front and one in side.
A lot of cars and bikes you can buy all over the world are not to get in Deutschland.
I tried it five years ago. It is impossible. TÜV dont want this cars on the roads in Germany. U.K. ist a pardies in this way.

[C.Demmler]

Should that be a 911?

It's been a long time since a modern Porsche has looked so good; let's hope it won't evolve like the Boxster did: nice prototype but not such a nice car at the end of the production line...

Cheeky bugger !

Don, you 'old 'im, I'll hit 'im.....

Thom, all they did was move the air intakes up a bit. Probably so it didn't clean the gutters as you drove it. Such is the induction system of these fine cars.
