Purple should be on more cars. Something that dark, doubly so.

I've read an owner on Rennlist is already in line for one; gave up his early allocation for a PTS in the 2nd upcoming run. 👍

The new planned 911 GT is said to going back to basics in order to maximise driving pleasure.
 
One name that hasn't been used in a while is SC. They could call it the 911SC. Or even...shudder....the 912.

I doubt they'll resurrect the 912 name again unless they offered the upcoming turbocharged flat-4 that's signaled for the Boxster and Cayman
 
Haha, I was going to suggest the 912. That'd be pretty funny.
 
They *could* revive SC-RS moniker. It still is one of the best sounding Porsches ever made.
 
Is there like a guide somewhere to all the naming conventions? Like, what the heck is an SC or SC turbo, etc?

Most of them don't mean anything - S, L, R, C, D, E on old 911's for example, simply differentiate different models within the same production period. The SC designation was 1st used on the 356 right at the end of its life - The S was added to the 356C to denote trim/power vs other 356C's.
 
Glad they fixed the ugly DRLs from the 991.1 but I don't like that additional surfacing on the front fascia. It would look better smooth.
 
... Can't tell the difference.. Other than then DRLs.
 
I bet they changed the DRLs because you couldn't tell a difference between the 991 and the new Hyundai Sonata at night.
