Here's The Next Generation Porsche 911 Making Throaty Noises During Winter Testing
Good news, Porsche fans: we’re getting an early look at the next-generation, ‘992’ 911 thanks to fresh testing footage. Captured undergoing winter trials in northern Sweden, the prototype you see here is lightly disguised and looks to also be wearing a few 991.2 body panels. We can’t make too many predictions about the looks just yet, it’s fairly safe to assume the designers will have taken a typically Porsche evolution approach to the styling. What is definitely new though is the Mission E concept-inspired rear end, complete with one massive - and rather tasty - LED light bar. We like.
The next-gen 911 is expected to be the first version of Stuttgart’s famous rear-engined sports car to feature the option of a hybrid powertrain, while the regular Carrera and Carrera S models will almost certainly be packing the twin-turbo flat-six which made its debut in the 991.2.
It should arrive late in 2018 for the 2019 model year.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

So the 991 is now nearly 6 years old, and still looks incredible and up to date

Yep, sounds like a Porsche.
Not the biggest fan of the rear, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it
anyone here where the taillights actually remind you of the first generation porsches instead of robocop?
