I like the silver one. The larger scoops make a pretty bold statement. BoxsterTT?

Looks good, nice evolution. It looks low and long which I'm not sure I love but overall it is nice.

I wouldn't trade my Spyder for it though!

My guess is the side intake is even bigger than represented on the silver car. It looks like camo near the bottom of the intake. The rear spoiler is very interesting.

Best,

Matt

If that is what Porsche brings to the table, they have a winner. They Cayman would look even better with those

revised sides. Well, once someone Photoshops them and that lopsided front end in, like this little rig.

That red car is a rendering based on the current car (note the door mirrors, headlights, side scoop, etc.). The silver one above it is the real deal; the finished product.

Yea, the black Cayman has the mylar covering the entire "large" scoop on the door. I just like the look of the red Boxster better. Not so in-you-face and the front bumper looks good.

Never been a fan of Gemballa, always way over done and modded. Keep it simple.

The red car is definitely photochopped. No bumper panel gaps and it is basically a modified 987. Only difference is the side indentation in the doors, front bumper and dip in the hood. Everything else looks the same.
