They have a transcript of everything that was said on stage during the reveal

Thanks Zizzagz. The page finally loaded and I saw how many MB the pictures and video are and I'll have to stick to just a few pics and the press release until free time . We have 10 minutes left until the bandwidth restarts and only 180mb left .

combination of rear decklid and taillights makes the rear end look even more like the LFA, where as the rear on the mark II reminded me of the supra.

i saw the gap between the bumper and hood that is in the pic ichi posted, is there any aerodynamic functionality to this? or is it just to keep the hood low and still have a bumper high enough to meet the pedestrian safety codes in the UK?

Yes, and yes. A mixture of subtle aerodynamic treatments for the hood and roof and safety requirements for the hood I'd bet.

Looks incredible!

Calty design variant maybe?

Beautiful -- nearly perfect.

Get rid of the "scion" in LED's on the back and add some door handles and it's GTG!

Love the lines of the car, love the new roof, love the hood vents -- fantastic!

You know… I’ve been having a lot of fun watching the forums and reading the comments about this car.

I’m truly impressed by the amount of passion that the enthusiasts already have for it and the volume of buzz that it’s generating. It proves that they are absolutely READY for a car just like THIS!

Mostly the first part. We have 1100 guests on the forum now O.O yikes.

looks freakin awesome, but the questions now are...

When will we get to see the production model?
What engine options will we have turbo/non turbo?
How much is it going to weight?
Interior??
Price?
When will dealerships be taking deposits?

i jsut got the chills reading that revealing. wish it was out now, but i guess i can wait til 2012, just means we all have more time to save up for goodies to throw on the engine.

I think you are wrong. The 911 GT3 RS uses the same "basic design" for improved aero and handling.
