From my observations, it appears that the front lights' lens will be recessed at the bottom and more upright (like the 240Z pic below, but less so). The change is not in the 911 design DNA. Classic (pre 993) lenses were upright, but never recessed.

Very nice find, noticed that the blue car has a central radiator unlike the yellow one. Have they gone back to needing one for cars with an automatic (PDK) gearbox?
Both cars have the 4 tailpipes, so I'd assume they have the same engine.

From what I've seen, the tail lights will be without the reverse strip showing, instead it will be hidden in the light like the blinker. It will probably be on the bottom. Take away the reverse(light)strips at the top in the photo, and there is the 2012 Porsche 911 991!

Carrara:
^^ There's no video. The pictures were taken by a spy photography company and then sold to automotive presses.
Also, member Wild-Speed of Teamspeed nailed it!
i think it will look more like this the lights will be under the spoiler from the insides
There is no try. Just do.

seen tha car in the back of the picture ...
991:
not sure about the headlights (very boxster/cayman to me)
do not like the GPS antenna on back and the hight of the back
Like the rear lights, the tight hips, classic side line and side mirror placement
Judging from the yellow car, the sunroof is either very big or it is a Targa. I would think the fromer. What do u think?

Great catch - the car I've seen last Friday had exactly the same camo as those, but it was a convertible.
As I said - rear looks different - rear lights are very slim and outstanding. BUT whole car looks like an 997 - the average person will not notice the difference. The front bumper doesnt grow on me at all - to much 997. The lights - as far as I see there is not bigger evolution yet to see. So it might have some edges exactly where the hood and fender line meets the lights, but basicly it looks very similar to the 997, too.
