Interesting. The wing supports are funky, but maybe they are experimenting with some hanging, top support type wing as seen on the RSR.

Top hanging supports are called swan necks. IIRC the most important part of a wing is the underside so if the supports came from the bottom it would disrupt the air flow. This is also why a lot of newer race cars started using swan necks. I think one of the first cars to use it was the Regera?Interesting.

They do appear to have the same thickness that they use on body-masking mule cladding, so i imagine they are hiding a still-to-be-finalised design. The blunt face these ones have can't be very aerodynamic. My thoughts were that they might be hiding a DRS-style adjustable mechanism, but you'd think that would be something you'd more likely see on a subsequent GT3RS or GT2. You can't see it very well on these pictures, but those supports do look like they could give scope for a wing-angle change.

Surprised and somewhat pleased they have gone back to 996/986 type door handles. I'm not a fan of the 'loop' type and much prefer the 'lift-up' handles myself.

I like how a larger area of the whole rear deck now acts as the pop-up spoiler. It looks much neater this way. Gives it an almost 993 Turbo vibe.
I'm less impressed with the lack of body colour across the front lip which leaves it looking a bit unresolved, but perhaps there's still some matt black masking vinyl on these late pre-production mules.

That sure looks like a 911. Although I do like the wider body.

Finally. Has to be the most long, drawn out car replacement in history.
And its still not officially unveiled!
The Acura/Honda NSX would definitely like to have a word with you!
Looks just like I would expect a 911 to look like. I've always been more interested in the variants with more pointy bits, now the waiting game begins for the Turbo and GTx models.

it really gives me a 964 vibes. Surfaces are a bit flatter than current 911, the wheelarches, especially in the back, comes out of the main body in a more abrupt manner, graphics (front lamps circles and back led strip) are simpler. Overall, a much more minimal stylistical approach, it express really well the technological value of the car, less of an animal, more of a machine.
This must be the best looking standard 911 since the 997. Every model from the C2 onwards will have this wide body, which makes the 911 look more mature. I'm a huge fan of a wide body 911. All the 992 models are going to be as wide as the 991.2 GTS. The GT models are going to be even more wider.
This is probably going to be a very nice looking 911.
