No love for the turbo? I love the turbo especially in a good color/spec.

I don't like it because it looks heavy. I mean don't get me wrong it looks better than a Prius. But a base 911 looks better. Or better still 991.1 GTS.

I really like it! See 10 of them at work every day, along with RSs and GT3s. My order would be GT3 > Turbo > 718 > Carrera S > RS > new panamera > R

I don't see the visual appeal of the R. It has stripes. So what? I can add stripes to any car. It looks unbalanced to me with the GT3 front end and no rear aero. The Turbo is beautifully proportioned. In the right colors, I even prefer it to the GT3. It's about more elegant and understated.

GT3 in PTS colors. Would love to someday own an RS in Riviera Blue.

Hmmmm. I wonder if the poll results would be any different if you posted it on the turbo forumI think they call it sampling bias.

The results so far are in exactly the order I would rank them. And I would rank the GTS above the Turbo, if the GTS was included.

RS > GT3 > Turbo > all others. RS in person is just an amazing looking car. GT3 as well; even non car folks know they are special

The RS is definitely the most aggressive and maybe that's a big part of the "best looking" criteria for some. But the huge wing, vents, flares, and higher ride height don't make for a great looking car, just a very good looking one, IMHO.

The GT3 has better lines and everything is perfectly balanced and integrated. From a design standpoint it's the best looking car. The 911R is a close second; very clean and tidy. My 2 cents.

For well balanced adults, an R with a discreet paint option.
For children, a GT3 RS with all the trimmings.
For me, see children's option.
