I completely disagree with you. Certain beautiful things just shouldn't be changed unnecessarily. The only reason it's becoming boring for you is because of the familiarity perhaps?

But let's be perfectly candid here, a 911 is beautiful because there's nothing like it. Look at this epically proportioned derriere:



That narrow glass house blending gently, flowingly into such dramatic wheel shoulders. Nothing looks like this. And it's gorgeous.

As for those compact proportions; it's like a concentrated, high-density piece of automotive jewellery. Surely the Rolex Oyster of automobiles.

Please Porsche let the world have their faintly bizarre looking mid-engined sports cars and keep the 911 true to theme for as long as possible.

Yeah, I guess you can call it familiarity, but I'm only nitpicking; it's small details like the blinkers on the side and side profile overall...
I really love this new red stripe, it looks spectacular. I only whish there were LEDs in there as well...

One question, what's up with this wide body you guys speak of? It's the bodykit of the Turbo that's now standard or something?

Well the side profile is something all 911s have in common and it will never change since the shape is very aerodynamic.

Good idea about the red strip featuring an LED brake light. That would have been awesome, although it would make the car resemble a Christmas tree.


All the four AWD 911 models have a 4.4cm wider rear track, the GT3 RS has it as well

Re: Official: 2009 Porsche 911 Facelift for Carrera 4 and 4S

I know all the 911s have the side view in common, but the side view of the 993 and 996 are pretty different in detail (dimensions, etc). And the 996/7 are identical....nitpicking as I said...

Thanks for the reply Luw, Porsche Master

Deffintly have the C4 over the R8

Love the new (well old) red strip

If only the C4 had the old designed lights like these, Don't really like the new circle ones Gives her more of a face

Cool, but I just noticed that there a brake light just under the rear windshield, that one would have to be abolished.
