To me the typeface is not quite right. There are script faces that are recognizably Porsche, like here: http://www.jageng.com/garage9/produc...6a6ccdbcc682b2
or here: http://typophile.com/node/5816
or here (see the 986): http://eagleday.com/emandde.html

I don't disagree with you on the font and we may try a few other things.
We did a fair amount of research and found that Porsche has used several different type faces for modle designations. The script in most of thise links is a much more modern use than the vintage of these cars. I also don't personnaly like the 944 digital type lettering. If anything the "turbo" type script is closest to accurate for a 951. We just have not found it in a font yet.
Posting from my phone so bear with me here.

I always liked the silhouette of the fat fenders.
What about using something like this? (Sorry it's messy, I drew it up quick with a sharpie and the help of a photocopier to lighten the image behind it.) Maybe put the "951" between the headlights, or below?

Here is my rough touch-up to make the lines "fit". I really only dicked with the wing and the lower difuser.

I think this would work, but yes, it might not be everyone's favorite.

I kinda agree on the wing. We tried it both ways.
I really wanted the lower rear spoiler in there since it is so specific to the 951 over a standard 944. Just a thought.
We will probably work on it agian tonight to see if we can't get the numbers a little more "Porsche"

I don't really like the block type Porsche letters, like the more script like.
The 9 and the 1 are pretty easy to get Porsche like. The 5 is the issue really since there is nothing to compare it against.

hey the design with the side shot and scripted 951 is great!!!!
i would take 3
DO NOT CHANGE IT
add a combo of colors for the stiloette
and the front cap brim should have the German racing colors small but noticed
