Here's at least a glimpse of the 991 C4S

Looks photoshopped to me - but it is an improvement.

That rear reflector strip actually makes some sense of what is otherwise an offending crease on the 2wd. IMO of course.

Obviously a photoshop.

Looks cool though.

Hehe, the "Carrerra 4S" model designation apparent in other versions of this pic is mysteriously missing....

Looks Great but agree that it's likely been 'shopped.

Put a deposit down for a 991 C4S last week. Dealer has no information on timing. I'm really hoping we all get to see the real thing at the Geneva show next week. If it looks like the pic above I'll be delighted.

Only thing worse than waiting for a car you've ordered is waiting to get to place the order with no idea when it'll be! Patience was never a virtue of mine.....

Never a fan of the wide light strip on the 997.2, but if the new one has a narrow version like this, I'd be happy.

Sadly, I think we are both going to be disappointed. I just saw a Porsche UK press release that outlines their show plans. New Boxster, Panamera GTS and the 991 Cabriolet.

This brings a new dimension to waiting!

Mark.

It's a "shop" (the link shows the original) but it gives an idea of what I think is an improvement, especially for white cars where the rear panel gap below the wing is rather unimpressively irregular.

It would be interesting if the center piece were also lit up. But just don't think that the design needs the J-Lo treatment.
