EXCLUSIVE: Latest Spy Photos Of The Next Porsche 911 And The Best Scoop On The Car Yet

The next Porsche 911 is right around the corner and as we reported it is code named the '991'.

Here are the latest spy photos of the car in testing and it is clear they are not getting radical with the perennial icon of the car biz.

It will be longer, wider, faster, have a larger Panamera inspired interior, along with better sound and technologies to go with it.

Ok 001, so what scoop is that?

We've read that all before on AutoSpies.com.

And you all would be right.

So here's the JUICIEST scoop/scoops on this upcoming 911 (991).

Over the last few years the cars price especially configured with the exciting options has really gotten out of the reach of the sweet spot in this competitive marketplace.

So our mole told us that Porsche will configure the car for the first time with popular option packs and the price of the car optioned in those configs will actually be 5-7k LESS that the current 997's option to option.

There are also rumblings that the next BASE 911 will out perform the current 'S' model.

Of course, that means the next 'S' version will be even more amazing.

Currently on the 997's the base 911 model is like a red-headed stepchild with most opting for the 'S'

So that begs the question...

Will the next base model 911 get sell better because of the performance bump and aggressive pricing or will the buyers still jump up to the 'S' in the land of the free and home of the brave?

I have to admit, I like the continuity Porsche has maintained with the 911. It stays fresh without ever abandoning its heritage. It stays clean and pure without getting dated, IMO.

I would totally disagree with that the 911 just looks aged each time simply updated it borders on looking like a neo classic version of the original. Its interior isnt worthy of its price tag, and realistically Lamborghini, and Ferrari create brand new models each year that dont look like warmed over versions of the last generation while still maintaining their heritage and link to other cars in the companys history. Maybe Porsche designers just arent that talented....

BMWdriver is right the new 911 could easily be mistaken for one 5 years old not saying its not good looking.

This is a good development. Although I haven't been in the market it is annoying to see the price creep up each year, seems especially bad to see non-Turbo models hitting six figures.

But they are getting better each generation. With reduced emissions and everything it's greener than most all the super cars out there, if not most.

OMG! The new 911! It will set design trends for all the new cars to follow as usual! -_-

I think Richard Meier, architect of some of the world's most famous buildings, said it best when describing his new Porsche, a design that endures decades is art. Porsche doesn't have to make drastic changes to this car, it's legendary and has a loyal customer base who will always buy more.

I really doubt that the new 911 will in any way be cheaper than the current one no matter how you play with options: the devaluation of the USD has been savage and is likely not a short term hiccup. Look for price rises in the 5-12% range...
