Default The ducktail thread, post yours.

Per the title, post a picture of your 991 ducktail.
What made you choose the ducktail and/or Sport Design package?
My dad had an old 73, I didn't know there was a contemporary option until I saw this one for sale. I had to have it!
Later, I found out it was only available for a few years.
Let's see yours.

Does my “mini duck” count?


It’s a custom piece (molded in a 991.1 carbon spoiler)

Always preferred them with a fixed spoiler. It was always the rear end of a Porsche I didn't care for and I felt the spoiler "finished" the car. But now I even appreciate non-spoiler Pcars 😁

I don't care much for the ducktail look, but I like the fact that it replaces a bunch of moving parts. Fewer things to go wrong. I bought the car used and the sport design/ducktail package was factory.

The first Porsche that I noticed as a kid was the 70’s era 911 RS/RSR. There is no shortage of reasons to love those cars, if not for the wide body and ducktail alone. The 991 GTS gives you both in a modern car.

I came from a 993 with an aftermarket RS wing and spoilers. When I saw this car with sport design front and duck tail I was sold.


Classic style.

My previous car. I wanted a fixed wing and ducktail looked best to me.

This thread is very helpful. I have a cab GTS and have been thinking about adding one. Hopefully some Cab pics will show up.

When I lived in Europe in my younger years I always loved the 911s with the ducktail, so I added it to my 997 after I bought it in 2006. When I unexpectedly sold it (to my Indy) in 2017, I searched for a 991 that had the ducktail and stumbled upon my now 991 with the Sport Design Edition and S/N 001 of 100 to boot at a boutique dealership. So that was it!

Any 991.2 Targas with the ducktail? I'd love to see how that looks.

PPPPLLLLLEEEEEZZZZZZEEEEEE do what you can to encourage Porsche/Tequipment/the rest of the aftermarket, to make available a lightweight Ducktail in one piece (like GT3 wing) to replace moveable spoiler and engine grill for 991.2.

Fat fenders, ducktail, iconic design lines...what's not to love? I felt like the ducktail came back into fashion with the 991.
