More spy shots: Next generation Porsche 911(998) Coupe and Cabrio
It’s still extremely cold and snowy in the Northern Sweden for another month or two, so automakers are taking the maximum from these extreme conditions when it comes to testing new models.
Below we have a new set of pictures of the next-generation Porsche 911 (998) Coupe and Cabrio that will replace the current 911 (997) in 2011.
Fantastic idea for underground parking
In an urban environment where gardens are small and driveways take lot of space, it is an ongoing problem how to design them so that the owner can be happy with the final result.
Here is a good idea from West London, UK where an owner combined the garden and parking space together. It looks like a top-secret underground parking at first, but surely is practical. No idea on the cost, but we have a feeling this custom made underground parking spot won’t be cheap.

2011 Porsche 911 (998) Coupe spied night testing in Sweden
In addition to the first spy shots of the next-generation 911 (998) Cabrio, we have also managed to get new shots of the 998 Coupe. As we have already told you don’t get confused by the fake rear lights and spoiler.
We like the way front lights are standing more upright and it seems that the body is a bit stretched giving it a bigger look compared to the current 911.

More spy shots: Next-generation Porsche 911 (998)
These are the first crystal-clear shots of the next-generation Porsche 911 – internally called the 998 – that will replace the current model in 2011.
Few days ago we reported that this here (same car, but from a farther distance in heavy rain) was the new 911 Turbo, but on these pictures you can see that the side air-intakes in front of the rear wheels are fakes – and so is the huge rear wing which hides the shape of the smaller spoiler of the standard 911s.

Electric Porsche 911 by RUF
Just few weeks ago we reported that RUF is working on all electric Cayman.Now it seems that something has changed as they have introduced an all electric 911. No information yet what happened to the Cayman project. Most likely the German source confused the Cayman with 911.
Even though it is still a concept, we are sure it won’t stay the only electric 911, and more will follow.
