    I love this new roof... so smooth and flat!

    Yeah, it's almost like it covers a metal roof...

    Agreed. It seems that both the Cayenne II and the 991 are shaping up to become good looking cars. I have recently parked next to an R8 and have to say that the 911 can certainly use a dramatic make-over

    Re: New 991 Cab Pics

    The styling changes are too subtle for me to appreciate. The roof contours do not look anything like those of my Cab, and suggest a cloth covering on a metal structure underneath. The extended length of the new car would allow for more seat space in the coupe and stowage space for a hard top on the cab.

    It looks as if there is something beneath that canvas. Look the part just above the back window.

    Re: New 991 Cab Pics

    That would make sense: if it were a metal folding roof, additional length might be needed to stow it away...

    Re: New 991 Cab Pics

    You can see he three sections of a folding hardtop. The shape is also very similar to other folding hardtops... I'd bet some money that we will see a folding hardtop in the new model. Not great in terms of handling, as you have additional weight in the wrong place, but who knows, Porsche can always surprise us.

    Yepp and  this 3 sections are going along with the folding patent we had before.

    Re: New 991 Cab Pics

    The cabrio is heavy already so unless Porsche has an engineering breakthrough for a light folding hardtop (), then it will be a better engineered fabric.

     I wonder what a folding hardtop would do to the Targa.

    I think a folding hard top would spell the end of the Targa.  Not enough Targas are sold to justify the engineering costs IMHO as a 991 variant...

    hmmm, knowing porsche, they'll offer both, but the metal roof will be an expensive option ;-)

    Isnt the Targa obsolet anyway. Smiley

    No - just kidding. I think a Targa always have the right to be there. Lets face it, the only reason go for a Coupe instead of the Targa is the heavy weight and if you want to be on the circuit the risk of having a glass roof above you in case of an accident. But for private drivers, not having problems with the head-weight.... the Targa is the right car! And if you prefer a bit more wind, go for a Convertible.

    I also prefer the soft top to a folding metal roof in general, but certainly for the 911. But the times may be a changin......
