Porsche certainly isn’t going to let a poor economy effect its long terms goals. Proof of that point is that the company is already out doing some sub-zero testing for the next generation (991) 911 – this just a few months after the mid-cycle facelifted 997 went on the marked.

The folks over at worldcarfans.com captured the 2011 models (Coupe and Cabriolet) in northern Sweden.

Little is known about the upcoming 998 model, however, you can be sure changes will be somewhat minimal as Porsche is a company that believes in the evolution (not revolution) of its products. It’s too early to speculate about engines or power ratings but we do expect the new model to be lighter than its predecessor.

What we do expect to see is a lighter vehicle.

    Just for your information: The successor to the "9x7" (997 and 987) is not the "9x8", but the "9x1", that is 991 for Carrera and 981 for Boxster...
