Now that everyone knows to expect the Spoiler-delete touring version, Porsche's marketing people are going to have to work overtime to justify the performance advantage of that wing.
Especially, if it's static.. as most manufacturers are doing movable/adjustable "intelligent" designs, just plopping that nasty appendage up there seems very lazy at this point.

I think it is fascinating when you think of the entire 911 lineup and the degree of separation. How many other car manufacturers can squeeze so many sales off the same platform.

Lol hood air intakes on a rear engined car. I remember when people were complaining about how ugly the Taycan’s lights were all the way until the reveal. It was always obvious to me it was patched up. Porsche doesn’t fully take off the camo until the reveal.
wing looks like a swan neck with camo. A la 718 GT4 club sport. I think a wing like that would be cool.

Tip toeing forward, which is the Porsche way. Good enough for base GT3 but let's hope they take big leaps with the RS. Just slap plates on one of these - done:

Yeah, just do it already! Plates are all that are needed! Boom! Sold!

As far as lazy, idunno. Simplicity is beauty to me. I do think it looks a little low, from a purely aesthetic view point, like it got borrowed from the GT4 ;-) Enter the RS....

I don't always follow what my Momma says so I say the 992 Touring is still butt ugly. Where's the ducktail? At least w/ a large tail, one can cover up that fat ugly *** of the 992. No ducktail, no Touring for me.
