Re: new 997 TT pics!
Hmmm, now we know that there is something wrong here, this guy takes 16 detailed shots of the exterior, but not a single interior shot...... 
As Agent Mulder used to say Trustno1!
You can find all 16 - exterior - pictures here:

Re: new 997 TT pics!
Thanks a lot for the pics, Kai! And some thoughts on the photos : why there are not any interior pics(AGAIN) , it seems that the photographer could take some pics of the inside, but he didn't... 
And why are the seats inclined to the dashboard? The exterior of the 997 Turbo looks great, as I've already said, but I think there's still some camo on the front, and I don't mean only the lights...Anyway, nice pics, I just can't wait for the official press release!

Re: new 997 TT pics!
The whole car looks disjointed. Wheels look aftermarketish...exhausts too jarring, doesn't have a shape that is fitting with the rest of the car unlike the 996 TT where the shape of the exhaust pipes echoes the 911 shape. The front LEDs turnsignal and fogs I'll reserve judgement until I see it in the metal (haven't got my hopes up it'll look any good seeing it in person). Overall, it looks a mess...terrible shame that Michael Mauer looks to have fumbled big time with the new design of an iconic car. It'll go like stick no doubt but looks $hit compared to the 993 & 996. 
Re: new 997 TT pics!
Thanks .... really does look disjointed and so much like a 996TT . What a shame a car with so much performance and little to no attention paid to the cosmetics . Wheels are really a let down also they could have done so much , this car will need after-market help big-time to bring it to life in the looks department .

Agree , wheels are a joke.I mean would a large number put these on there 997S as an aftermarket fit , I dont think so .Also looks do not appear to be aggressive enough in the pics.
throt..
Re: new 997 TT pics!
Agree with that the wheels doesn't look very good on this one.. I liked it a lot more on the arctic. don't know if the wheels maybe look worse when they're dirty like on this car... ... Are those 20" or is it just the low profile of the tires that are less than on the standard 19"?
I really think the arctic and black colour fit the car a lot better than this one... is it Slate-grey? or Seal maybe?
Also must pick on the orange side-marks and the bumperettes, they really destroy the overall looks and I can't stop starring at those details (sorry for that fellow americans, know that you can't easily get rid of the bumperette)

temm,
That's what I was exactly thinking about; 16 close up exterior pictures and no interior ones
.Porsche must be up to something

Re: new 997 TT pics!
I like the wheels-the uneven grooves will work visually. I'll bet more folks will like the wheels when they can be seen live.
Luckily the overall shape of the car is still wicked- hunkered-down-widebody 997-- too bad the details so quirky.
Exhaust trying too hard to mimic F430, unfortunately not nearly as pretty-- but who cares, it's the badass 911 Turbo.
The 996GT2 always looks to me like it's about the inhale whatever's in front of it....same idea, I hope and
I expect the 997TT to have somewhat apocalyptic styling presence like one of those cars out of the original 'Mad Max' movie. It ought to scare the $hit out of Granny when it shows up in her magnified rear-view.

Re: new 997 TT pics!
I think it is a combination of thing, the rims, side vents, rear bumper all have multibile lines and seems to be alittle to much together. If traditional turbo rims or even something similar to regular 19' carrera classic rims where used, i feel that it would flow better with the car.

As soon as this baby hits the streets, you guys better run fast to your dealers because supply will be VERY limited in the beginning. We had the same comments about the 996 Turbo back in 1999 when me and Chris Kramer posted the first REAL upclose pictures of two non-camouflaged 996 Turbo (remember, the 996 Turbo came out in June 2000). And after I got my car in June 2000 and after others got their cars, people paid up to 50000 bucks to get one in few months!!! Don't say I didn't warn you...

Don't worry RC,
I'm still on every one of my dealer's 997TT deposit lists known to mankind.
Even better than some interior shots, how about some more video, this time of the car entering the Autobahn from a standstill, with INTERIOR shots of the dash showing the speedo. hitting 200mph/320kph-with maybe brief panning down to confirm the tranny
-with splits of elapsed time 0-100kph-160kph-200kph-320kph. . . . 
That other video clip on another thread taken of the car spinning its wheels in the snow leaving the curb had an eery Vincent Price-esque/Alfred Hitchcock presence about it as the cameraman's crisp steps in the snow as he panned the car pulling away echoed through the audio feed.
