Optional Duck Tail for 991

from the german configurator, it´s part of the "Sport Design Package" (available in germany in april 2012):






it´s also part of the "Aerokit Cup" which includes a 2nd Wing on top of it:

I don't think it is available to us Americans. Maybe they are slowly adding more options to the configurator.

safe to say that the 991 GT3 will have a similar wing as the aero kit?

Is duck tail really goes well with any modern Porsche? Like most rear wing, it comes across as an after thought.

hmm...I don't know how i feel about the duck tail as more and more pictures surface. I think I have to see it in person to really decide.

I like the chin spoiler design, but not the ducktail.

Looks like an afterthought. They should have used a similar design as the 997 Sport Classic which has an amazing looking ducktail.

IMO Looks out of place with those ugly wheels.
Duck tail + Fuchs wheels to complete the classic look

I think the duck tail looks nice in every angle except this one. From here, it does look like an afterthought.

Hmmm...I am still very torn. Btw, I'm the kind of guy who thinks that a 911 needs a spoiler to make it look complete. It's just personal taste. I really like duck tails and they really are my favorite 911 spoiler. It looks very very nice in all these pics (except for the one I quoted), but is it right on such a modern car? Does it pull the car together thematically or does it distract? Hmmm...I have to see it in person. Maybe it's those wheels.

Btw, shadow, is that you in the other picture?
