Attention, awed masses and highly critical internet commenters: this is the eighth-generation Porsche 911. The 992". Unveiled in the more-desirable S" form ahead of the LA Motor Show, this is our officially-official first look at the latest generation of the iconic German sports car. Design-wise it"s obviously an evolution of the old one; a delicately feathered crank of the design knob that keeps things classy but will cause people to say "it"s boring" because "it looks like the last one." Yes, the silhouette is very much a 911 but the proportions have had a radical shake-up. Unlike 911s of the past, there"ll be no narrow body cars as the front track has been widened by 40mm and all Carreras will have the same wide booty of the GTS. It doesn"t matter if it"s two or four-wheel drive, it"s one-size-fits-all bodyshells for everybody. One that"s made of more aluminium than ever.
