Re: 998 Turbo - Spy shots
davew (cincy):
Look at that cab top. That is obviously not the same as present/past design. No rib lines AT ALL. Could this be hiding a solid metal cab top? Or is it just WAY smoother design than ever??
....the overall shape of the 998 already looks better than the 997.
looking forward to the 998 TT as a DD.

Re: 998 Turbo - Spy shots
nick1:
maybe its not the Turbo? I mean it might be to early to Test the Turbo, since it normally comes out later in the Model cycle. Also the side vents are fake. Maybe its just the next 911?
Yes, I reckon myself that this is the 991 Carrera - I speculate that all the models in the range will have Turbo style side vents and front bulging fog lights. Plus I would say all 991's will be more wedge shaped from front to rear (which is a shame as I like how the 997 rear slopes down).

Re: 998 Turbo - Spy shots
The 991 looks great at first, but after a while looks like the 997 mk2 has a more classic look, especially the rear window, which is bigger, more like the original. And the 997 headlights are just perfect and I don't think Porsche will use it again for the 991.
Re: 998 Turbo - Spy shots
That´s not camo, certain gaps in the body need to be covered for high speed running at Nürburgring. If not too much noise and you can´t hear the real plroblems that the car may have. Remember that this being prototypes they don´t have all the needed trim that isolates noises in a production car.

997 TT, what a car/che'mmmmmaghena!!!
Re: 998 Turbo - Spy shots
neunelf:
I wonder why there's camouflage in these 2 places:
In this picture the soft top looks very stretched as if glued to something solid underneath.
I don't know it may just be the picture but it looks like camo. Could there be any surprises with the cabrio roof?

IMO the only possible surprise with the cab roof could be a metal folding hard top beneath.
I'm not sure, if this would be a positive surprise.

Re: 998 Turbo - Spy shots
Anyway, the fabric in the picture doesn't look like a normal soft top.
IMO the best scenario would be to offer both, a fabric top and a folding metal one. Places like California where many people never put their cabrio top up would be happy with fabric but for many european countries a metal top would be welcome due to climate.

Re: 998 Turbo - Spy shots
This car is true ' soft top ' cabrio - look at a flap / cover over the roof storage trunk
On this pic. , visable folding creases on canvas
Porsche will stay with their standard combination of ' soft top ' convertables and ' hard top ' as accessary option .
Obviously , metal ' skeleton ' and folding mechanisam of this , very taught roof , is something completely new .
Re: 998 Turbo - Spy shots
Guys, I guess that we see the same element the current Convertibles have in the front, also on the back parts. As you know, the front has a solid frame underneath the soft top. If you can see, the lines for the top-storage are running completley different as today.
Re: 998 Turbo - Spy shots
Here are some brand new spy pics in high quality from www.carpassion.com .
You can clearly see how many details are actually fake, of course the side air inlet (we knew that already), but also things like fog lights, fenders etc.
The guy who took the photos also said, that the roof almost looked like a fake cloth "glued" on something that hides beneath.
