Meh. Looks better on the 981. That wing won’t age well and it just draws more attention to it.

There are some aspects of the new car that I like but the wing is the worst part for me.

I wonder what a 981 wing would look like on a 718? common Luke DO IT

I hated the droopy ends at first, but it's really grown on me. I think the risers are even more key on the 718, because the ends drop so low to the body, giving the illusion the wing is even lower.

Fair enough!

maybe I will have to see one in person first.

I like seeing them on 981 gt4’s as your eye isn’t instantly drawn to the rear wing but it’s a natural OEM look. Less is more for me.

I am skeptical to alter my 981 GT4 in most any way, and feel Porsche would have increased the rear wing if required. This does not "sell" me, but does look badass. To each their own.

/\ I personally think the RSNV's look much more proportionate to the body lines compared to the BBi versions which look wonky and way too thin.

The proportions are much different. Rather than just stretch out the stock design, ours are designed to be RS style while remaining proportional.

You can see a ton of angles in Luke's new film:

Who cares what they look like. The balance of the car is really good now if you have removed the inserts at the front. With the spoiler low it did not generate enough downforce at the rear. The car felt really nervous above 200 km/h; first I thought it was the geometry of the wheels. Now, higher up, a world of difference and at 250 km/h plus it feels really solid. Soon more testing on the Nordschleife instead of Autobahn and twisty roady...... Have to beat Sport Auto's 7:32!

With a name like N. Ring, we want to see 7:28 flat or better
