Infobox and article image proposal

Hello, I would like to proposed the following images to be used on the article. Although there cars in the background, it a good image of a image of the car in public rather then at a show like most of these performance cars on here are. Thanks.

Your rear photo is way better. I think this is a better photo of the front, the styling lines on the hood really stand out. Toasted Meter (talk) 17:28, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Toasted Meter That image is the current infobox picture. I think the front image I proposed is better since there no showroom lights shining onto it, giving it a weird look to it (IMO). --Vauxford (talk) 17:48, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's current infobox picture on the man article not this one. I don't think the "autoshow look" is always a bad thing, in this photo the sharp lighting makes the shape of the front very clear, in the outdoor photo the sun overwhelms the more subtle lines.

Photo of the rear has excessive shadows over it. No wiki policy has admonished the use of car show photos. I don't know where this presumption came into being. U¹ _quattro TALK 08:41, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what you are seeing at all. The image is very clear, it's framed well and has a very nice background. Toasted Meter (talk) 08:57, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note regarding 992 911 Turbo S displacement

The new engine in the 992-generation 911 Turbo S based on the 9A2evo architecture known from the 992 Carrera has a bore of 102.0 mm, a stroke of 76.4 mm and a resulting displacement of 3,745 (actually 3745.7) cc (Original source: https://www.porsche.com/germany/models/911/911-turbo-models/ Section Technische Daten/Antrieb), hence the "3.7 L" displacement in the engine list. However the car is advertised as 3.8 L like the previous generation (including the engine deck lid, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbNVvIZ0fXI Minute 4:28), so referring to the car as "a 3.8" is as such not incorrect. -- Epistolarius (talk) 23:02, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But we agree we should not contradict the technical reality. U¹ _quattro TALK 16:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't correct the engine specs with the true engine displacement (rounded by the convert to 3.7) so that any references to it being a 3.8 should be removed, either. If the car is called a 3.8 by the company it is a 3.8 model, whether the actual displacement is exactly 3800 cc or rounded up from as far down as 3745 cc. Technical info needs to be accurate and we can still point out the reality of the car having a 3.8 badge. -- Epistolarius (talk) 01:32, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
