GT3-like wing on 992

x2 agreed
PAG is likely trying to capture some of the hype and fervor of the GT products for their non-GT product, especially given the initial backlash over the 992 from some
do you want a GT3 that is going to rattle your filings out, with buckets hard to get in and out, and pay an ADM, and scrape the lip, and no rear seats, and jerky to drive at low speeds to cars and coffee *if* you can find an allocation.... or do you want your cushy 992 with big gulp holder, new fancy tech, easy to buy and spec, *and* you still get the cool looking GT wing

Which fire are you referring to? They just reported their best sales year ever.

And the reviews for the 992 have been exceptional, broadly praised as both dynamically and aesthetically successful.
No need contrive conspiracies, This is just the standard aero package making a comeback, nothing out of the ordinary. the 992 with its huge movable wing and wider rear end looks especially good to my eyes in stock form.. the wider front track also gives it a fantastic stance stock.. I'm not a fan of the aero package but historically it has sold well.
The adjustable gooseneck 992 GT3 will be next level.. just remains to be seen whether they add front adjustable aero also to match.

The two missing pictures from the OPs original posting. Can’t complain about the steering wheel 😮

This will be good for those who want the extra Porsche Design looks, who may have been out in the cold when it comes to 'configurating' their own GT.

A couple more perspectives... these are from IG user: when he attended the Palm Springs event.

looking at all the angles of the wing I don't care for it much, It looks thin and insubstantial. which I 'm actually happy about because I believe the real wing should really only be on the GT

Thanks for the additional pics! I still don't like it. Looks fake.

Makes the 992 look better for sure, especially with SD package option for the front and rear....and gives people more choices if they want to daily a more comfortable and more utilitarian 911 with the same overall edgier look as a GT3......
Would be interesting to analyze the demographics of the buyers of the winged cars versus touring GT3s versus add on aero kits for regular 911s, excluding the Turbo as there is no choice............
Might show nothing but I suspect overall age of the owners of cars with GT like spoiler trend younger.....not a big revelation but a comment......

+1 what were they thinking??? looks like the wing 'deletes' that hideous ctr tail light, so that alone is worth the price of admission IMO!
+1 amen!

Thats interesting, so you can now also get some weissach pack stuff on your 992 (CF roof and CF steering wheel trim) as well as the more pronounced GT-style wing...a bit confusing noting the 992 gained weight/tech/creature comforts too

not too mention you can apparently get it PPF'ed at the factory by 'exclusive' ...
