From that first picture the new nose is quite Lambo, but like someone else mentioned is a wide angle so doesn't reflect the proper proportions.

I definitely need to see it in person before I make my comments.

I saw the cup car in person today at the auto show, got in early so we had lots of time to check it out.
Front is def not as angled as in the pics. In fact in person looks fine, I was a bit worried when I saw first images.

It looked totally fine. I do like 991.1 better, but new version was not bad in the flesh. It does not photograph well.

Wow that's good to know. I really hate the pics I've seen so far. Not digging the shark look at all ! Was allready contemplating selling my allocation and jumping ship to mac or fer.

The GT3 wheels are beautiful and would continue to look great, but I also hope they change them a bit just to further differentiate with the .1. Maybe "sharper" like the bumper.

Nice to hear.. Were you in attendance for media day? I was supposed to attend but a house move has consumed my life!

I like the longer pointier nose but not the leaning vertical slats.
I'm sure the full fat version will look awesome again.

Just had early access through Porsche Center Oakville. Hosted morning GTG at the booth.

Friend and I went specifically to check out the Cup car since we both have 991.2 GT3s coming and were unsure about the new front end.

I'm wondering if this is an evolutionary step towards the GT2/RS nose. One that needs to suck in massive doses of air to feed two hungry turbos

Maybe the intercoolers. Turbos will be in the back.
