Not sure about that front end. It looks to be images for an aerokit car.

Not a fan of what they did up front with the active aero fins. There is something else there that is just off too.
And the sport design rear bumper changes also don't seem to be for the better.
Or the exhaust valance. Why bring the tips together. They didn't the full route of a centered pair.

The only thing I like are the center exit exhausts.

Hummm…well, the front looks worse that the .1 to me. The rear is about tied. I never got why people get so worked up over center exhaust. It looks fine, but no biggie

The front looks like it's trying too hard to be aggressive. The vertical vents destroy the design language of the original version. The rear looks GT3-like but I prefer the original.

Losing the dedicated turn signals and integrating them into the headlights...that is part of what makes the front end seem off (in addition to the vents, obv). Cleaner look but not sure if I like it.

Yeah.

That new front bumper looks hideous. I’m sure it’s highly functional but damn..

I wonder if the third radiator is there because this is a test mule, or if it will be more common on 992s.

Maybe they aren't done yet and are leaking this one to see what people think. Those vertical slats...

Weird. Looks more like a 991?

I always like center exhausts but having an extra piece of plastic separating the tips lessens the effect. Front is odd and those adjustable slats look incongruous with the smooth styling of the 992. It feels like Porsche saves the really nice design cues for their GT cars and their derivatives like the ST and purposely make the standard 992s less cool looking.

Looks like they are planning to make a s#!tload off of optional sport-design bumpers; they better plan inventory well. That front end is butt-ugly.

Does the ride height and tire profile not look tall? Maybe running parts of the rumored mainstream Dakar model?
