Artist’s renderings of the next generation 911 (992) look good!

It doesnt work fine against Corvettes with wider front tires like the Z06 with the electronics turned off.
You dont understand how weight transfer works under trail braking, having wider front tires helps thats why their new GT2 RS has wider front tires even though it uses the rear wheels steer and torque vectoring to help it turn.

Porsche's best brakes, their CCB's are the same size btw.

I suppose F1 and even Porsche's LeMans crews must bow down to your superior intellect. I may be foggy, but it seems like 911s vs Corvettes is about 63-2, give or take two.

Not against the Vettes with wider front tires like the Z06 like i said in my post.

A 911 weighs roughly 3,300 lbs and a F1 car weighs about 1,600 lbs and even F1 cars are going to wider front tires 285mm.

You the only person i know who thinks wider front tires on a 911 wont improve its perfomance. Lol

Guess the reason why they're going with wider tires?

The rear engined 911 is inherently limited by being a rear-engined chassis. 4-wheel steering has tried to even the playing field, and like any other technology, you can throw enough money and R&D into it to make it perform as well or better than the more conventional layout, but it's going to be at a cost. So what Porsche has up there sleeve usually is to make the car wider. Wider with every iteration. Wider rear tires, wider track, etc. I would be happy to just lay a 911 style body over a cayman and call it good, but there are some holdouts that insist the 911 needs to have pretend rear-seats that can't actually hold a person. Look how ZL1-1LEs are running down GT3s left and right, it's not even funny. The 911 is a timeless car to a certain extent, but it needs to transition to mid-engine IMO.

+1

I'm not surprised, the ZL1-1LE has 305's front and 325's rear and over -3 neg front.

I run 285's front on my car, and -3.5 neg camber front, my car destroys any stock 911 S.

All i said was it's sad that the front tires look like the same narrow 245's also 911s are camber challenged.

Heck the new M5 also increased it's front tires to 285's Stock.

I couldn’t figure out if it was old or new

Yeah it has the same styling as a early 90's Chevrolet pickup.

First, let 'em put in the touch-sensitive center console in the new Panamera first, gussy it all up in dual-tone/dual-texture materials with contrast-color stitching, and festoon it all in aluminum/CF/body-color accents, then work some more as-yet-unseen magic.

THEN pass judgment.

It's an incomplete mule now, and it's already eons better than the 991's dash.

Yeah, the laptop, the emergency buttons and the 2 way radio look out of place in the interior. Wouldn't that laptop slide around when you're driving.

Would expect to find in:

Why is anyone acting surprised? The water cooled 911 has always had a horrible interior.
