The photos used in the article are not representative of the original 1988 design for the 989, but the final production proposal from 1991. Most people seem to ignorantly mistake the most common prototype example to be from 1988, but making this comparison would prove the obvious. This photo [1][2] is of the 1988 version taken on March 6, 1990, with these other photos [3][4][5] being the 1991 989 production-representative version, planned for 1994-early 1995. The 986 and 996 were designed in 1992-1993 subsequently. Clearly by March 1990, the 989 still looked like that 1988 early concept example that echoed the upcoming 968, and not the more resolved design of 1991. Surely Porsche designers are talented, but not so talented that they created that design 10 years early. It took 3 years to reach that, likely not being frozen until early 1992 if fully realised.–––Carmaker1 (talk) 00:55, 11 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
