That looks pretty badass. Wonder if a company would make a ducktail while still maintaining the air intakes on the .2s

i wonder if a group buy could get a company like getty to do the R&D to produce one? i would think there would be some takers.

i've never dealt with them, but they have a very bad reputation for customer service.

Here’s a pic I took of a 911 50th Anniversary car whose owner had gotten the factory 991.1 ducktail put on it (and painted to match which he said took a lot of trial and error of the body shop). Looked great....

I now have a GT3 Touring. When it was first announced I was bummed that it didn’t come with a classy ducktail like this. If the GT3 Touring really is supposed to be an homage to the original 2.7 RS, then why not?

Couldn't agree more. And it'd be lighter too!

Homage to the 2.7 RS is what I too am after.

So I had an active interest in this very question as I am a 99.1 C4S ducktail owner. I've read that the reason the sport design kit for the 991.2 doesn't have a "real" ducktail is because it interferes with the additional air intake needed for the intercoolers in the 991.2. shame

Stupid question probably - but you would want the moving wing to be de-activated if a duck tail is mounted, right?
