Re: 992FL

It fits the usual pattern: introduce a new model with strange lights and correct them somewhat with the facelift.

Front lights will be a bit different, rear cleaner (basically same lights though), weight is also a challenge with hybrid tech.

Re: 992FL

It would seem no LED lights below the round (main) headlight section above?

I haven't seen the car without camo yet, maybe around April.

N/A engines for the Carreras! Maybe hybrid to make up for no turbos

Re: 992FL

Don't get your hopes up for the closed loop mild hybrid system. It's not a plug in. There isn't gonna be a big help from the electrons.

Re: 992FL

I am not a fan of headlights switching in to indicator lights, in my mind the headlight should stay doing what it is supposed to do. Disappointing Porsche is doing this.

Re: 992FL

Mwah, although I kinda agree with you on this, I am much more bothered about the dual rocket launchers in the front central inlet for the adaptive cruise control. Is there really no better way to integrate these sensors in a less obtrusive way?

Where are the strange lights on the 992.1?

Re: 992FL

To me the lights under the round main headlights always appeared busy, as they do with most pre facelift designs. Of course this is highly subjective.

Re: 992FL

What does Kacher mean by this?

“Apparently there is also an even punchier 528-hp version in the works that would plug the gap between the beefed-up future 911 GTS and the next 911 Turbo”.

also, any possibility that the double wishbone front suspension will appear in other variants?
