Re: More updated 997 here they are
That's a homely looking face . The front looks like 3 different 1980s-90s 911 iterations stacked atop one another. The earlier photochops where the turn signals were integrated within larger 996 Turbo -like radiator nostrils looked more modern . It looks like a ...uggh...Cayenne .
The rear lights seem too tapered as they wrap towards the wider fenders .

Re: More updated 997 here they are
Look at the wheels themselves. In each picture, the front and rear wheels are in the identical angle with indentical sun reflections, as if the photoshopper just pasted them in place.
Very suspect.
And I don't think her face is all that homely!
Oh, you were talking about the car.

Re: More updated 997 here they are
Some of the discrepancy on the calipers may be light/reflection or shadowing from the wheels.
The real question is this: If Porsche wants to be so damn discreet about this new vehicle, why the hell would they put one on the street in 'look at me' orange?

Re: More updated 997 here they are
The rear brake calipers are huge, larger than a Cup car or GT2. They look big enough to be 6 piston. I wonder if the photoshop artist just used two front wheels when they pasted them into this picture?
And whats up with those door handles? The 996 flush handles seem much more aerodynamic.
The only thing that looks good in these pictures is that babe driving.

Sorry for spamming the board with this picture again,... but it actually starts to move from satire to a sad reality for the 997.
Well... this will make the face of the current 996 a dead branch in the history of the evolution of the Porsche 911.
Ah whatever... it wasn't Porsche's first dead end in an evolution of a model. The 996 will be kicked out of the "911 evolution" posters, like the 968 was kicked out, when the 993 hit the street back in 1993.
