!?!?!?! :puke: That's ugly! What is that? That doesn't even look remotely like a Porsche! It make Cayenne look good! Ugh. It looks like someone took a Lexus GS and stuck a quasi-Porsche front and a big naff wing on the back.

nah bad idea! those cars look terrible

some early design studys looked promising but this one is really ugly... i really hope that the final version doesn't look like this...

Purified the body from the camo elements, lowered the suspension and put some fat turbo twist wheels on it and I'm sure the car will be awesome. But for a Sedan/Avant, I will always prefer an Audi RS cars. :wink:

Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet

Spy photographers have snapped images of a fully undisguised 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet prototype. While the new 997 model Turbo Cabrio will undoubtedly be a hit among warm-climate car enthusiasts, these final stages of testing involved anything but top-down beach cruising.

The car was photographed while undergoing extreme cold weather testing in Sweden. The tests are believed to be one of the last before production begins on the new drop-top.

Prior prototypes have always had some disguise and fake panels on front and rear, but these latest shots show a prototype without any disguise at all.

Like its coupe counterpart, the convertible should have an output of 480 hp at 6,000 rpm, 60 hp more than its predecessor. Torque will also be increased — from 560 to 620 Newtonmeters. The top speed is expected to surpass the current car's limit of 191 mph, and the 997 Turbo Cabrio will be offered with a new four-wheel-drive system.

-- Nothing surprising of course. When's the 911 GT2 coming out?

Porsche’s upcoming Panamera sedan has been caught by spy photographers undergoing testing in Gothenburg, Sweden, this time with barely any camouflage. Previous test mules have been spotted on parts of the German Autobahn as well as the Nürburgring circuit undergoing high-speed testing. Judging by the images, it appears that the Panamera is near production ready, but it’s not scheduled to be unveiled officially until the first half of 2009 at the Geneva Motor Show.

The bulbous rear end is expected to accommodate up to 450L of storage, while the interior will likely have seating capacity for up to five passengers. The engines on offer should include a 300hp V6, a 350hp naturally aspirated V8 motor and a 560hp twin-turbo V8 powerplant for a flagship ‘S’ model.

There are also rumors of a hybrid model, but sources are yet to confirm this.

Porsche expects to sell up to 20,000 Panameras per year, but with the upcoming Rapide from Aston Martin and possible sedans with coupe-styling from most of the German labels, the sportscar maker will be facing an uphill battle. Follow the jump to see even more “up close and personal” images of the Panamera test mule.

-- I am anticipating this car although I still think it's fat and bulky.

i'm not iking those mercedes style headlights :?

^ you do know that they were put on there to disguise it as a merc right?

Sure has an ass that wont quit.. I really do not like the proportions of it at all..

I didn't know that, but if you're right (you seem pretty confident) that's pretty clever.

911 GT2 undisguised!

Spied: 2008 Porsche 911 GT2 sans disguise

Spy photographers have snapped the first photos showing the new Porsche 911 GT2 without disguise. The new 997 model is expected to arrive late this year as a 2008 model.

Currently undergoing testing in the snow of northern Scandinavia, one can hear the GT2's unmistakable sound from some distance distance.

While the all-wheel-drive 997 Turbo delivers 480 horsepower, the rear-wheel-drive GT2 will come up with between 500 and 525 horsepower. Weighing some 220 to 330 pounds less than the Turbo, the GT2 promises to become the ultimate 911.

:twisted: With the Carrera GT in supercar heaven, this will undoubtedly be the ultimate Porsche! Just in time to strike fear in the Gallardo Superleggera and F430 CS (or is the GT3 RS a better match?)!

<3 <3
what else is there to say :)

in the other pics in the leftlanenews link u can see the air scoops are in the part of the "wing base" that extends beyond the upright part... getting kinda remeniscent to the 993 GT2 setup :) , if not in looks :(

I always love GT2s. This new 997 GT2 will surely be incredibly fast and looks great from the front and the side view, but some parts still need refinement like the rear bumper as Dani has underlined. :wink:

9ff guns for 254mph (900bhp-plus GT9 has Veyron’s record in its sights) :shock:
