I understand the reasoning, but out of all attempts to date, each one still has a certain blankness or blandness about it, as if something is clearly "amiss" in the available space...which is probably why Porsche put there what they did.

Out of everything there I would agree the most relevant badge is the TURBO S after-all if anyone doesn't know by now it's a Porsche 911 then who cares...but.....what does one do about all that leftover blank space as it really does look blander the less that's there.

It's called marketing!

Yeah sure, but with the rear end of this car i'm sure there was more to it than just marketing. The blanker it gets the odder it looks.

Certainly if you don't want to be bothered.

I figure if it's just 911 that is good enough. Maybe it will generate small talk but that is going to happen any way. One of the great things of owning an 911 it could be a plain Jane 911 or a Turbo S RS, that's if Porsche ever offer's another end of life RS and then you become apart of the brotherhood.

It's even better without the Porsche in the back.

Deleted model designation when ordered. PORSCHE is lowered about 3/4" at factory when one deletes the model badge, so is essentially centered in the space. Did not have the letters painted body color, but may on the next order.

Looking at all the rear end shots there is no question the chrome quad tips work infinitely better on these cars - also ties in much better with the chrome badges. The black tips are completely lost in the rear valance....looks really odd IMO. It's like something is clearly missing at the rear....like a diesel car look with no pipes. Hot Honda's looks as it should....perfect!
