2012 Porsche 991 – 911 First Official Video

It was just last week that Porsche lifted the embargo on pictures of the all new Porsche 991 taken during hot weather testing in South Africa. This morning, they upped the ante and released the following video on YouTube. If you can’t see the video in your email, simply click on the title of the post to view it directly on our site.

While the video doesn’t go into any details or expose many new details, you can catch a glimpse of what looks to be a reported 7 speed manual shifter in the final few seconds of the video during the “closed road testing” along with the newer, Panamera style interior.

Personally, I like seeing the kids eyes light up as their given what will probably be their only opportunity to sit behind the wheel of such a machine. Who knows, maybe it will be enough to inspire them to reach for Porsche ownership someday. The final version of the Porsche 991 is set to debut this fall at the Frankfurt International Auto Show.

Please keep infomercials for products off this website. If you start with one, it will be never ending. Thanks for keeping the website “Pure”.

Hey, Don,
What’s your definition of “pure”. I ask only because I was just talking about it with someone else?
Thanks for reading!

There are countless products for maintenance and enhancement of our Porsches. Will you be reviewing each one as you receive a sample in your mailbox? If a Porsche enthusiast requires information re a product, let him consult one of the many sites specifically designed for that purpose. I do not think product endorsement should be a part of your site. I feel your site should be a conduit for information re Porsche cars and Porsche activities, not a storefront. Links for your sponsors are more than adequate.
