damn thats so hawt...me wants... =)

Nice.

I'd rock it. Who wants to buy one for me?!?

DSG would be nice with the GT2

Looks really nice and performacne will be incredible. Rear bumper looks like crap though.

secks on wheels. I'll take that over a C6 Zo6

lol sell the ls460 and you are half way there

Bland bland bland, another boring 911. It's long overdue for a new design Porsche. You milk the hell out of this VW bug looking thing enough already. Each rehash looks worse than the last. It's gotten too long and too feminine. However, I do like the Rice touch to the rear bumper and the mutated looking spoiler.

Have you ever driven a modern 911? Because most people who may not like the look of the 911 won't care after they drive the car. It's an addictive driving experience.

Yes I've driven modern 911 and other porsche many times and I love their driving experiences, that is why I say what I say. Porsche will sell no matter what, it's the image, practically any expensive euro car or brand is a hot seller in america.....except VWs. Majority of Americans are brand obsessed, in other words, they're ricers, they don't even care how well the vehicle performs. They just want to make people think they're rich and the european makers got that market lockdown.

Maybe in the past where Porsche only had 2 models, but today, 911 is no longer why people buy Porsche. Get rid of 911 and I don't think majority of buyers will care, only a few hardcore fans will be up in arms. But their small numbers don't pay the bill. Porsche probably sells more SUVs and Boxsters than 911. I'd personally like to buy a light weight front engine RWD 40K boxer engined Porsche RX8 fighter. But that won't happen, so I'll settle for the more muscular 370Z.

From the marketing standpoint, Cayenne, Boxster and Cayman will not sell if there's no 911. 911 is what makes Porsche a Porsche. Boxster and Cayman are "stepping stone" for those who can't afford a 911 yet to own a Porsche, the Cayenne is either for the existing 911 owner who want an additional car that's more practical, or for potential Porsche owner/dreamer who have compromises to make that doesn't allow them to own a coupe as the only car. So Porsche can not and will not get rid of the 911, imo.

Looks very good, it almost looks like a aftermarket bodykit then a standard Porsche design. Performance should be amazing for this car. I wonder if they plan on doing a super high performance/exclusive GT1 version of the 997.

Porsche = the hotness

Porsche could stop all marketing and advertisement and their vehicles would still sell like hot cakes. People with money will always find Porsche if that's what they wanted. I don't think rich folks buy Porsche from seeing their ads in car and driver mag. Marketing only works for poor and middle class. 911 is a nice portion of Porsche sales, but if Porsche stop 911 production, it wouldn't stop me if I wanted a Porsche. Where are 911 buyers gonna go? Most likely they'll end up buying 911 replacements or some other model in the Porsche lineup if they want the Porsche driving experience. Those who are into looks only can buy used 911 or wait and see what the 911 replacement will look like.

Hot. While they haven't changed too much during the years like Rice noted, it's amazing how they still look good despite having virtually the same styling for decades.
