Well, not exactly fully. But if you don't count the couple of covered up bits, this car is doing the full monty. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the newly revamped Porsche 911 (991).
Seen for the very first time fully exposed, this is a big deal. For Porschephiles, the details matter and in this revision that's where all the changes are happening. Take, for example, the new front clip that has larger intakes and what appears to be a front lip for aerodynamics. Or, how about the rear venting with new slats that give this 911 a bit of a retro feel.
Then there's the interior that features the 918-like steering wheel and the selector for the driving settings.
Of course the BIG news on this update are the engines. While the 911s have always been known for its flat sixes that were naturally aspirated, the company's making a change. Now, as we've heard about for months, new information is saying the 911 will go turbo with exception of the GT models — GTS, GT3, etc. Expect horsepower gains to be modest while torque will get a nicer bump thanks to the turbo setup.
So, if you've been waiting to see if you should order an all-new 911 the time has come. Feast you eyes in this up close and personal video shot below as well as the great pictures captured from Autocar.
