Porsche 998 Spyshots

[staceykurth]

so i guess i was right 3 years ago???? 991

[porschecarreragtmay6]

Also just want to say, the 991 will be unveiled August 24th. These spy shots of the 991 are in the 997 shell, so no design features are revealed here. Currently there are spyshots circulating of the production 991 running around Zuffenhausen with nothing more but tape covering the head lights and tail lights...

[cardude1992]

how did you take this in 2008? the real spyshots emerged later didnt they?

[porschecarreragtmay6]

These are early shots when Porsche was testing the 991 in the 997 shell (it was so early that no 991 shells had been conceived as of then). If youre wondering the 991 will have 350hp (3.4l), the 991 S 400hp (3.8l). The 991 S will run the Nordschleife in 7:37 in its best configuration. The wheelbase is 4 inches longer, and the roof is 1.3 inches lower, much 918 inspiration. The new sportexhaust inspires awe. There is MUCH more to be said, but in short, the best 911 ever. The date is August 24th..

[cardude1992]

@porschecarreragtmay6 thats all great but how do you know all this? especially the ring times? :D

[porschecarreragtmay6]

@cardude1992 Much of that info has been going around in magazines last month, and some of it is from a private source right out of Zuffenhausen!

[spider5604]

SOS same old shit

[genek121]

this is not the 991 the mirrors will be on the body not the windows ....

[darkchild00]

At 0:31 I have one similar to that one in 1/64 scale.

[soucorp]

looks like a 997.2 comon now?

[dakaraabbccdd]

Porsche, bring back the Kidney Lamp please...

[94GOOGLE94]

i think the new turbo will produce a kind of 550 hp or even 580 hp and cross the 0-100 kmh in less then 3.2 secs with the pdk

the carrera s would have a 400 hp and cross the 0-100 in 4.0 secons with pdk and sport plus actviated

oh i can't wait for theese beasts !

[Nbuilder1]

@94GOOGLE94

I think Porsche is rumored to be making a titan. I heard from my cousin who lives in Germany that they are testing a 4.0L 680HP turbo.

[94GOOGLE94]

@Nbuilder1 hmmm yeah maybe nice idea for a gt2 ;)

[Nbuilder1]

@94GOOGLE94

Could be.

[Rehbraun]

Ich glaub den hab ich schon bei mir gesehen. I think I have seen this vehicle nearby me.

[Blewmunkey]

@Hades75000 agreed... 997 Carrera with the PDK in it.. sitting in show rooms 4months ago.. you need to wait till 2012 for the new 998 which actually is all new.. only thing not new are the doors from a 997 carrera... everything else new.. new steel... longer and wider.. 3.6 and 3.8 motors are all updated

[sakda357]

Always looks the same

[JV44HeinzBar]

The last true 911 was in 1989. Personally, the hi-point of the 911 was 1970-1972 as drivers car.

[rforracing]

Every Porsche looks the same.

[Corbon440]

WTF is a 998? The successor of the 997 will be the 991.

[cllcn888]

this is nearly 2 years ago, the 997 generation 2 had not launched in 2008....

though its a 997 generation 2 undoubtingly....

spied video of the 998 was shot in early 2010

[karatcha]

A 911 is a 911. Do anything but the CREST should remained untouch.

[WinExotics007]

Win your dream car for FREE !...

WinExotics - google it :-)

[soucorp]

Looks like my 997. Subtle changes at best and alil more hp. This is what makes Porsches unique, the silhouette stays true to form of a 911 thru the years!

[schattenmeistertragi]

0:13 what'a sexy back jesus!

[1990eternal]

is it me, or does it look smaller/leaner/lighter than the old one?

I like it!

[ninjadudevideos]

i like the porsche 996 turbo look any day

[simonchristopher1986]

whats the song?

[cortesbugslayer]

I've read in the regular Porsche magazines that, internally, Porsche will call the new 911 either 998 or 991. I agree with some of the other posts below that it may be hard to know what the new model will look like, especially with all the disguises and the fact that you never really know WHICH aspect of the new car is being tested on any one spy shot model. Many think the new 998 will have the double-bubble roof of the new Sport Edition.

[bobdadog27]

that looks like the testing and renderings for the mkII 997, not the 998. the 998 is still in testing and has had a massive wing covering the new adaptive spoiler at the rear. Also the rear lights on the current 998 are completely hidden (well, changed to not give away anything).

[MagicAyrtonforever]

The mirrors will be on the doors I believe

[gionatan123456]

la PORSCHE gialla sembra kuasi una FERRARI 360 MODENA

[allgripNnoslipN]

Booor-ing. They all look the same for a about a hundred years now. Ferrari ( SEX )

[MacAppleJack]

its going to be shorter thats about it o and more power

[rasmusjbank]

I can personally see no difference between this Porsche on youtube and the 997 2. generation.

So if anyone can see the changes that makes this a 998. Please tell us doubters.

[JET997u]

There are no differences. If anything, the actual car photos are test mules using the existing 997 structure; the actual design of the 998 won't be seen for another couple of years.

[chrismusclemanone]

Yeah,the designs look great!!,but arent the last pictures from the 977?

[maurinquina]

I hear Ferrari is already flexing their anus with the 458 in anticipation of this 998.

[DJJA9119]

i like the new back end and the wider looking body. makes it look more exotic, which was what porsche needed, because they are such awesome performing cars.

[Titanium1101]

no, porsche is coming out w/ the new 998 series

[lippolossie]

hahahahaha....^^

[ihg911turbo]

porsche is the best!!"!

[xxwaterxxx]

the 998 back i saw is like alittle different and one of the prototypes actually killed the test driver while the 998 is doing a top speed run

[Pezdetz666]

MadWolf is right, this is the 997.5, or the one that came with the PDK and tail light bar. The 998 is longer, and looks like they made the engine hatch more horizontal. I think it looks brilliant.

[totallypowned]

you're a douche

[112namrepus]

About as much change as obama is bringing. Meaning none.

[trasy1979]

All Porsches look the same !!!!!!!!

[Tname20077]

you do relies that if you go to a Porsche dealership you can actually compare the fucking two 997 and 998.

[cowsgonemadd3]

I LOL.....998 is not out yet. Oh and F bomb fail.

[Coderoid]

trhe next 911 will have rear view mirrors much likwe the Panamera/ 993 type ie not attached to the A pillar as in current the design

[JohnTaylorLV]

Thats the 997 face lift bro, whats wrong with you? cant you tell?!?!

[porschecarreragtmay6]

Can't you tell?? Look at the fender flairs and the wing. Also llok at the exhaust and where the liscense plate goes. And look at the restyled rims.

[Porsche917LH]

I'm guessing those are just test mules with the 998 internals, It appears as if it has a wider track though.

[staceykurth]

the next gen 911 will not be a "998" it will be a "991"

[porschecarreragtmay6]

What? No, first, the 993, then the 996, and now, the 997, and 3 or four years from now, the 998. Where did you get 911?? On the Porsche site it evens says "998"

[Turboo911]

no first there was 964 , then 993 , then 996 , 997 .

ok anyway i think it is redesign 997 .

[szurra]

it's 997 2009;]

[porschecarreragtmay6]

No actually no, your thinking of the Facelift. This is the yet to be shown completley redesigned 998.

[Turboo911]

i think its 997 redesign .

[porschecarreragtmay6]

No, this is the 998

[RacingFormula1]

Awesome!

[gtonelmp]

BRAVO!

[FastLifeInc]

Looks sweet

[OzJustin]

Some interesting designs there. The rendering definately have a Ferrari flair to them - almost 512 inspired to me. In the spyshots I'm not sensing much difference. Rear roof panel may be slightly more flat.

[porschecarreragtmay6]

Yah, it was a Ferrari F430, then I put Porsche parts on it.

[Porsche917LH]

512? You mean the 917 competitor.... Hardly...

[porsche917LHgtmay6]

I think the new 998 looks almost exactly the same aside from the ugly spoiler.

[Porsche917LH]

Oh gee.... Wonder why? Could it be that it is a test prototype based on 997 bodyshell? LOL

[porschecarreragtmay6]

Hey, LOL, you caught me LOL.

[Porsche917LH]

Most wanted

Porschecarreragtmay6 and accomplices

porsche917khgtmay6

For unauthorized video comments. Reward: Um....

LOL

[PasionPorsche]

The yellow one looked similar to the Ferrari F430 and on the spyshots the car is so high that some might think of it of a Cayenne.

[porschecarreragtmay6]

Nice guess, I actually combined a 997 with the F430. Glad you like it.

[Porsche917LH]

LOL you're f430 crossbreed is not really a rendering... BTW none if these spyshots at all are indicative and are merely 997's with the running bits of the 998.... Speculators are saying that it will be smaller of semimonocoque construction and a 2.0L TT engine... Doesn't really coincide with those large wheels so I dunno...

[porschecarreragtmay6]

Well, I just considered it one LOL, well, I'm sure the changes are gonna be much different, Porsche hasn't made one body style in wich the car look ed some what the same, the 993 and the 996, they came right after each other, and they barley resemble eachother.

[Robez93]

Is the next-gen Boxster gonna be called the 988? I just don't think it sounds right for some reason, idk...

[SEWAdjEVi]

Huuummmm....!! Nice !!

[Porsche911Fanatic]

AWESOME!!!!!!!

[maestroadam]

When is the 998 coming out?

[porschecarreragtmay6]

Some time in 2011.

[otmlb1128]

what's going to be the difference between the 997 facelift and the 998? the 997 facelift was a facelift and new engines. that's what these spy shots look like too.

[porschecarreragtmay6]

More power and some fender flares, like I said, the 997 Facelift is like a teaser model of the 998.

[otmlb1128]

00:24 doesn't look new.

[otmlb1128]

what i meant to say is that it kinda looks like a 996.

[porschecarreragtmay6]

Ummm... Those are renderings made in photoshop, there not real, those are just ideas of what they could look like.

[zmansporscheboxster]

Dude do you know if the 2010 Boxster will have the Dual Clutch Trans.?

[porschecarreragtmay6]

The 2010 Boxster, I'm not sure, but I do know that the S will get some where around 300 BHP.
