Saw this on youtube, Pilatus' channel. It does sort of look like the exhaust is different but it also looks photoshopped.

Agree on the pax windows. I’m betting they are the same windows as in the 24, larger and more square. Denali is touting larger windows so that’s something Pilatus could respond with.
Maybe it’s just the black paint, but the cockpit windows look different to me.
With the engine change, window changes, I’m also thinking higher cabin altitude which might result in a higher max operating altitude which could give a longer range.

Does the 12 already have a milled wing like the 24?

I think the windows are the same. Looks to just be the paint to me.

Yes the 5 blade helped the looks a lot
Maybe the Honeywell will have the big screens like in the 24? Can’t wait to see the interior. Other than some more speed I want a nice new cabin and cockpit. I don’t mind going slower than a jet as long as I have a nice place to hang out.

Windows look different to me...hoping its to up the cabin PSI to compete with the Denali. It would be nice to have lower cabin altitude and more power available to make FL280-FL300 actually usable.

I guess we will find out in less than 48 hours.
