Was driving to the airport and as I was entering the onramp, noticed a black Taycan and black Cayenne with Georgia plates driving on the right two lanes of the freeway trying to box in what looked like a prototype version of the 992.2 cab.

Looks like they followed the 991.2 design of center exit exhaust which I assume is PSE on this car.

I prefer the .1 design, more distinctive and dramatic with the twin large ovals in the bumper, making them a focal point. I'm actually surprised they did this for the sport exhaust on the .1 Carreras and Turbos as opposed to the GT cars.

Perhaps it’s just the Germans copying the Asians copying the Germans.
