Honestly, I'm not looking forward to the 992 (insert any model here). What a disaster.

Then add a winged 992 GTx in PDK in a few years is my plan.
Yep. First its not 100% certain they even offer a 992 touring and it they do, it will certainly look quite ugly compared to the 991 Touring.

I'd grab a 991 Touring while you can.

Agree - it seems that some are assuming the Touring is now a permanent fixture in the GT3 lineup. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. At the end of the day, Porsche may have offered the GT3T as a one-off to offset the 991 R mark-up craziness. And yes, if the Touring is offered, if it looks anything like the 992, it will be a rather bulbous and bloated affair.

How much larger are the dimensions of the 992 vs the 991?

IMO, 991 GT's are amazing cars despite being bulbous and bloated, touring included.

...I supposed that like beauty, bulbousness and bloatedness lie in the eye of the beholder.

Looking for a GT Silver Touring if anyone spots one for sale. I know I just missed a couple on RL while I was preoccupied with work.

The wide body does not help IMO. Porsche is a bit confused on the touring front. Personally I would have let the GT3 be a winged only car and made the Carrera T a narrow bodied, big brake, NA engined car.

Or just offer a wing delete option for the Gt3 for people to scratch that itch and make the touring package something that gets added to any Carrera trim.

This was probably way too much investment for Porsche but I quite like the 991 normal body width.

On the 997 the extra width worked. On the 991 I always felt the wide body did not flow as well.

And don’t get me started on the 992.....
