The new 911 turbo will come with four steering wheels.

just need to clean up your rendition of the badge which we know will say "911 carerra triple turbo" they may have to run it into 2 lines but with wider turbo butts, perhaps not.
then again perhaps it will be like a coffee order - double double with triple turbo

As a grande finale to the week at the Scuderia Hanseat course I stumbled upon a caravan of Porsche test cars on the highway between Freiburg and Basel.
There were three 991 Carrera without model sign, three 981 Boxster without model sign and in the middle of these there was a 991 Turbo. All equipped with an antenna on the rear right wheel arc. Only the Turbo had camouflage and the other cars seemed to have standard wheels and bodies. One of the Boxsters were sitting very low with almost no space between the wheel and the body. The exhaust pipes on this car looked a lot larger than standard, dual round shape in a matte "titanium" finish. Not sure such an exhaust pipe is available?
I followed them for a few kilometres until they turned off the highway. I managed to get a few photos, but they all kept very close distance and it was tricky to shoot. I guess that is test driver tactics

The Targa is somehow exposing the 991's main problem: the elongation of the car appears to have compromised the 911's classic profile. Somehow this looks like some ugly targa-esque Panamera to me. Something has gone wrong and somehow I think it's in the length. It looks like some dodgy panel beater has added 100mm for a rich sheik with a bad back...

That interior does not suit a GT3 . I know they can't make a new one and have to use the ' panamerish' inside from the base Carrera . But I do hope they put a different PDK gear level, this one still looks like the old tiptronic
No matter how hard I try, I still find the 991 the be much too ' elegant ' looking . Seeing them on the track besides 997 did also comfort that it looks far too polished and Gt' isch .......
I bet the 992 will go back to a sportier look.

+1 - I was hoping the GT3 gets somehow a different interior as well - something that distinguish the most sporty version from a base - but I am sure they will bring a GT3wheel with different paddles than those. I kind of smile everytime I see a 997Mk2 because it looks now somehow much smaller to me - like a 993turbo - very desirable.
