I read somewhere the new designer for Porsche used to work for Saab. Shizer...if it's true it's really now starting to show
.
That rear wing is what I would call a huge opportunity for the aftermarket designers. And the duck tail look? Ew. Not feelin it at all. It just doesn't work at all with the new rear lights and bar. They need to move forward with the new rear design and do something that works harmoniously.
It's a shocker. And the front aero bar isn't much better. A mess.

It's AMAZING how a brand like Porsche or BMW (Butt-ugly butts for 10 years) as some recent examples can get snookered by some wacko so-called designers. They must have some REALLY good connections up or maybe down the totem pole. It is also amazing if you see where they studied and where they came from.

When it comes to style, newer is not always better, as demonstrated. It just makes me love my 996 even more.

Didn't know that. Phew. Thankfully a few redeeming qualities but who's going to claim responsibility for this wacky afterthought?

Rep Power: 225 I like the Kit (ducktail, front bumper etc.) except for the 2nd/upper wing. i think the biggest problem with the design of the upper wing is that it is too small! itīs almost cute and nowhere near as impressive as the previous GT3 wings. Good news for the aftermarket!

Rep Power: 225 I think if it came down to it you could probably live with the ducktail but i personally wouldn't want to be paying money for it. The front bar is liveable if not a bit busy. The wing on the other hand is just plain disjointed. IOW, a mess, joke...whatever. That would have to go.
i think both things donīt go together very well but, as i said, the combination may look better in person, in motion. sometimes itīs just the angle that makes something look silly. Hopefully the guy that took these spy pics will provide us with a video of that car as well!
