991 GT3 RS followed closely by the 991 GT3 - both stunning.

I don't think the 911R is a pretty car - reminds me of a 991 Carrera.

The 991 Turbo has to be painted white otherwise it has an underwhelming presence I find.

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.
Mike is a very wise man. He sums up the aesthetic differences quite well between the RS and GT3.

C.J. also made an apt comparison between the turbo vents of the RS and tattoos on an otherwise beautiful woman. Some guys like them, and some guys think it ruins the lines of the otherwise beauty.
All things considered I'll prefer my car without turbo vents and my ladies skin to be all natural.

I'm completely satisfied with my GT3 other than I want a 4.0L engine. If the .2GT3 comes with 4.0L, I'll get it and likely keep it for at least a decade.

RS, GT3, Turbo S, R. Love the looks of the RS. My favorite 911 by far!

I agree on the clean lines of the gt3 vs rs. When I first got the gt3 I swore to my wife I was done. Intoxicating car. But the rs kept growing on me and with the right color/options I think looks sexy as well. Plus, well, it's an rs. So NOW I'm done...

they are unique in their own way.

besides the model, i prefer the line on the R the best. the rear hip curve on the R & GT3 looks best for me. i'm not a wing guy so i prefer the clean silhouette on the R better. the RS no doubt has the most aggressive look, but the 21'' rear wheel + the flat hip line (from behind) just throw me off a bit. it's aggressive but not as elegant as the R. it's massive in size & certainly got the presence that's for sure.

I'm trying to be objective, Kamal. I don't think it's because I have a GT3 in the garage. IMO the GT3 is simply prettier, even if not more capable.

I see the RS as a pumped up version of the GT3 rather than the 3 as a neutered version of the RS. After all, the 3 came first!

R a soft girl, best seen in bed when raining outside, think leica
GT3, girl next door. kind of nondescript. but pretty nonetheless
RS, hot with tatoo. you have to put her in her place. always a handful. sometimes you just want her to STFU....

it's really best to have all three.

Not on the list - but think the styling of the GT4 is the best of the current GT cars.

Turbo wins via big hips and comparatively subtle wing.

R is a work of art

No doubt about it.

Surprised the Turbo even made the list. I owned a 1TTS for a short time. Very fast but never gave me that wow feeling when I stepped into my garage and saw it.

R is very desirable, obviously, but certainly doesn't jump out at you (and you better get the stripe stickers or no one will even know). GT3 and GT3 RS too close to call. Took me a while to get used to the ginormous wing on the RS, but it has grown on me.

LOL Mike. I agree. It's because I no longer have the GT3 in the garage. They all have their own characteristics so can't really say which looks better. I'll take one of each.
