Sorry but the rear of that Cab looks sooooo bad, from the awkward deck lid straight through to the lower bumper area that looks like it was designed with a router. It is just such a busy mess of a rear end.

And the model designation delete looks really odd on that car. An attempt at a touch of zen in the midst of a cacophony of creases and angles. Like a pretty white Western girl standing still on a busy street in Mumbai.

I would expect them to be P-Zeros (N1).

Agree. The deck lid design is really bad move from Porsche. Does't really flow well with the design of the car...oh well!

Looks way better in black. Dark colors knock down the busy-ness and accentuate the primary lines of the car.

I need to post some of my pics after I download them. Was there too, though on the field for Cars and Coffee with my R8 GT with increbible coincidence with another one in front of me (when only 90 in the US it was great that he even drove up much later but in the exact right order to end up in front of me. Drove the 991.2 Porsche had to test drive. Much more responsive to me. I did like it a lot since of course the power comes on significantly sooner without wringing out the car. Though nothing like the McLaren 570S I took out just before it (great car). The turbo noise is more than I thought it would be. The electronic upgrades were certainly well done and more logical/intuitive. The Singer was very impressive...the detailing is fantastic...it really is too pretty to drive and ever dare mess of chip any part of it. I also seemed to stalk Magnus Walker today. He was taking pics at the same time I was many places. Pics soon.

To me the resessed grill accentuates the hump too much. It almost looks like a part is missing. Just my taste and IMHO.

But it's still a great looking Porsche and going to put a smile on someone's face!!
