With the Los Angeles Auto Show, which marked the debut of the 2020 Porsche, now behind us, the time has come to check out the real-world faces of the Neunelfer. And while we've already showcased the eight-generation 911 in a few colors, the example sitting before us is dressed in a non-color, as it comes in White.
This is obviously one of the basic colors and we're actually talking about the first hue listed by the configurator.
However, there are plenty of black elements on the car, from the roof and the wheels to the inner graphics of the headlights, which is why this looks more like a Panda spec (speaking of which, those of you who are into special configurations should check out the supercar spec game tag below).
Now, as much as we love the rear-engined animal we have here, there are two aspects of the generation change that simply can't be pleasing.
The first involves the weight gain of the machine, which sits at up 50 kilos, with one of the culprits being the gasoline particulate filter hardware, which is here to help the car cope with the stricter emission regulations (the body-in-white is actually five percent lighter than the 991).
Then there's the pricing boost - compared to the 991.2, the Carrera (4)S models, which are the only ones released to date, are about $8,000 more expensive.
Next year will bring us plenty of extra Porsche Neunelfer derivatives. The first months of 2019 should see the German automaker introducing the base Carrera, along with the Cabriolet versions of this and the Carrera S.
However, Porsche could also introduce the 911 GT3 and the 911 Turbo in the final part of the year. Prototypes of both toys have been spotted testing in production form and it's obvious that the aerodynamic is becoming more aggressive, especially for the GT3.
