Spied: The New Porsche 911 Carrera Virtually Undisguised
Lady in red out for a bit if testing and wearing new shoes
Here are the latest spy-shots of a virtually undisguised next-generation Porsche 911 having itself a workout in close to Porsche Stuttgart factory. The shots are the clearest yet and probably the best you can get before the car’s official presentation at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September this year along with the Speed Yellow and Aqua Blue shots shared yesterday.
There are few other secrets left on the Porsche brand's core model. The next 911 will be 4.49 meters long - 56 mm more than the current model with 10 mm extra wheelbase. The car will also stand 11 mm shorter. The 3.4-litre entry-level Boxer engine (down from a 3.6-litre unit) has an output of 350 hp, good for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 289 km/h. The smaller, more-efficient unit will reduce fuel-economy by 13 percent to 8.5 liters per 100 km. Moving up the Carrera S will reward drivers with 395 hp, while the 911 Turbo is rumored to have an output of approximately 542 hp. Regardless of what engine is selected, it can be paired to a seven-speed manual or an optional seven-speed PDK.

You been living under a rock or something??? It's been known for quite some time now that Porsche would be unveiling this car with a completely new 7 speed manual transmission!

Anybody else think the car looks a little bizarre proportionally since it's the same length as the 997, but with a longer wheelbase? The part between the front of the rear fender opening and the back of the door opening looks so long to me. I kind of like how the back is pinched off compared to the front, it gives the greenhouse a teardrop effect.
I think it looks pretty damn good overall, and I'm sure once I see it out and about, I'll get used to the longer wheelbase.
