Default Who will make ducktail for touring?

I have a feeling there will be quite a bit of demand for a ducktail for us future touring owners.

While my car doesn't come til march - curious to see if any after market companies are engineering / designing this possible add on.

Aside from the potential aero a/o cooling issues, the Touring is a 991 body so why wouldn't a standard ducktail from the 991.1 generation fit?

Unfortunately there will not be much demand. Best case scenario 50 Touring cars?

I would think the easier swap would be from a winged GT3 to a ducktail. Less to deal with.

I was thinking the same, but then you're stuck with the Alcantara-fest and stripes on the seats

Yep, no movable spoiler mechanism to contend with.

Joking? Or maybe you don’t know that touring production only started recently. There will be a lot more than 50 touring gt3’s.
