Default Front End Awesome- Rear End Disaster

The front end of the 992 GT3 is going to make the 991 cars look very old very quick. I love the contrasting black bumper in the front. I love the wing. The whole car looks awesome.....except for the rear.....Jesus. Could they have put more levels on the fins and the wing. What happened to smooth and sophisticated? As much as I dislike the back the front looks so damn good to me!


Photos are from Instagram I think. Someone just sent them to me.

The color above is Signal Yellow. Racing yellow also looks good. I love all the stripes and nostrils. Everything about the car is great except the rear.

FWIW, I love the rear, not sure about the front. Have to wait to see it IRL.

Just paint the rear like the new cup car.

Funny, I like the rear but not a fan of the front because of the catfish mouth and nostrils. I love that yellow build with stripes, PCCBs and carbon roof though. Looks fantastic.......it will also match the yellow GT3 stitching on the center console which is standard.

I didn't realize we could put the motorsport stripe on the CF roof though. Nice.

Its definitely growing on me but I need to see the rear in person. The front I think is epic and looks soooooo good!

I think the rear looks awesome, front is a bit of an acquired taste, a bit awkward but serves its functional purpose

The 992 is growing on me. However I fell in love with the 991.2 GT3 the moment I saw it, especially the front end.

I wish the rear didn't have that extended lip all the way through and they blended in more like the Turbo S. Or even the prototype car where tried to hide that extra rear lip. That looks better to me. I think this is just one protrusion to many. It makes the rear of the car feel "heavy" compared to the front. The side view is good. But the 3/4 rear view is the issue for me. The rest of the car feels definitely more modern.

PS....what are everyone's thoughts on the clear/smoked taillamp seen on the Signal Yellow car vs. the standard red/grey one?

Looks good with some colors and not so much on others
