    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    I like it

    Täknikens Värld also states that 19" wheels with 235/40 ZR 19 up front and 315/30 ZR 19 rear will be standard, but both 20" and 21" wheels will be optional!
    That should please the american market

    Now that "the cat is out of the bag" Porsche might as well release the pressrelease - go on Porsche!

    Those new wheels will be a nice option for a C4 or C4S .



    They look exactly like the wheels Alpina designed for their version of the BMW Z8. Not bad, but more elegant than sporty.
    Thanks RC for the confirmation. Looking forward to see the real thing, so far, I like it, and like every new Porsche, it will grow on me. The only thing I am not too sure about are those front fog lights. But we'll see.

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    Maybe this design may grow on me one day when I see it for real in an attractive colour. For me, this design doesn't knock me out. There's no instant love at first sight.

    Yet again, it seems like Porsche will make the most technically able car around Pounds100k but which loses badly to the F430 and Gallardo in the 'looks' department.

    I actually like the 997C2S the most. How can I put this? I need to fall in love with a car. Something about how it looks needs to draw me to it. The new 997TT doesn't do that to me.

    Still, I will hold back my final opinion until after I see it in person. I still see myself going for a sporty 997C2S though.

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    I'm impressed with the back of the car, looks impressive to me !

    The front however : I'll need to get used to it, the foglights seem to be placed a bit to much to the side of the car...

    And the other pic showing the front...




    My first thought was "she's not a beauty queen" ... But now that I've had a moment to "digest" the picture - it's a very aggressive look.

    It will look spectacular in black.

    What is the "highlight" on the front bumper, just on the "split" near the radiator air intake? Is that the turn signal?

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    Wow I really like this 997TT. It's reall aggresive looking. Also, the lights on the the front bumper slate is not fog light like the Cayman. I think they are indicators. The fog lights are the ones on the outside edge of the front bumper. But the interesting part is that both the indicators and fog lights appeared to be LCD and not halogen bulb!

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    I think that the car looks great and which is more important, it will look perfect in real life... Alomost every Porsche, I have ever seen in pictures, looks strange to me at first glance, but then things change...

    Thanks. I think these pictures show clearly that the above first two pictures are the REAL thing.

    What I don't like about Germancarfans is the wrong technical data but I guess we have to live with that until the final specs are out. I'm also missing an interior shot, I heard that the 997 Turbo gets a speedo with up to 350 kph (instead of the 330 kph on the current 997 models).

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    Nice pics and nice rims!
    But, I am affraid that we will not see official Porsche pics and specs before January 2006(I hope!)...

    I'm starting to get second thoughts about the Dec. press release rumour too, it is almost Christmas, doesn't make much sense anymore to publish the press release. If they do it, they need to do it THIS week. Otherwise I'd say January too.

    GORGEOUS!!!

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    congratulations to this excellent find! and thank you for sharing with us!

    but the turbo's look... man, gemballa couldn't have done it worse IMHO.

    my guess: 99,9% will be ordered in black

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    the front lights will be exactly the same with 997S or a little bit different??

    What color is this?? It is not black.. IT IS VERY NICE..
    I like more the black one with these strange hidden lights
    I also like very much the wheels
    the car here is MUCH nicer than the silver one...
    I really like it.

    BUT THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE MORE THAN 500 HP..

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    That is one hot looking car! Black rocks!

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    Looks sh1te in silver definatly looks much much better in black...

    Looking at the first pic I hated it however the second has black pics have made me think that this may well need to be seen in the metal before you can truly judge....


    Looks pretty mean in black though!!!!

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    Oh, and btw, just how awesome are those wheels!

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    Things change fast...

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    I just love it, in black ,it looks like satan himself!!! To me, it is modern and also retro in a good way, not like the ford GT etc which are just "old". I think its great, and it makes the sedate 997 headlights that look "happy" on the carrera look meeeean.

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    How many think those new turn indicators will be standard on all the 07 997's ?

    RC,

    I noticed in the germancarfans column, they mentioned 460lb-ft of torque in addition to the 460 (peak) HP figure. Since 1lb-ft of torque = 1.355818Newton-meter of torque, then 460lb-ft = 623.7Nm of torque, a decent #. Perhaps they have confused 460HP with 460lb-ft?

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    In the backround of picture Number 3 the car with the 5 on the windscreen could be the convertible with hardtop.

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    Black it is and I like the wheels as well - but wait for the killer-musthave-argument comming soon - Newtonmetercurve !

    I am convinced that with a little bit of time and when I see the real thing, I will love it.




    I see this several times in threads like this and honestly, I've just never understood the logic.

    I think of the people that walk clear across a parking lots, when they see one of my cars, and say to me......"I don't really like your car right now but I'm pretty sure some time in the future it will be appealing to me"
    Yep.......black will hide a world of sins (including the rear bumperettes).....so, for me I would choose either black....or black.

    Re: 997TT - New pics??

    I think silver looks pretty good.
