Re: 911 turbo MKII on testdrive at Nuerburgring
Some of the "camoed" 4S cars had that red peeking through on both ends at the rear above the bumber., before thet took the wraps off for the debut of the models. Why a stripe on the cab and not the coupe, but that for sure looks the the Stripe.
Re: 911 turbo MKII on testdrive at Nuerburgring
If I were looking to buy a Turbo now I'd either buy the original right now instead of waiting another year for delivery or I'd wait for the Turbo S. This refresh is like a White elephant. It's really going to be even more fugly than the fugly looking rear lights if they put the red bicycle reflector on the rear. Plus the exhaust outlet shape was never really a good idea but making it bigger is kinda funny, it was already pretty bad but look at what it's going to look like! Ugggghhh! I cant help but to already look past it & think about what the next Turbo Cab will be like.

I completely agree with all your comments. The red reflector will be a big deal-breaker.

True. Looks tacky. Also, why can't they keep the current rear-light design for the facelifted TT and just upgrade it with LED tech?

Porsche designers have already been named as the world's laziest, ever. They have decided to do something about it.
Re: 911 turbo MKII on testdrive at Nuerburgring
I don't think that what we see is a red stripe. Because part of the rear light cluster is camoed, the reflectors in there are hidden. For safety regulation, they stuck on two small red reflectors left and right. We've seen those on the facelift mules of the ordinary carrera's as well.
