So I'm driving my Targa today when I come across a 997 Carrera S. Beautiful car I must admit. He pulls up around me and gives me the requisite thumbs up and rolls in front of my. I've never really studied the back of a 997 before and this is a widebody. I realize that it looks a bit anemic to me, the *** end looks too high and the spoiler is really short - barely noticeable. The lack of the full lightbar across the lower bumper causes some loss of definition to the rear end. Truly (so maybe im a LITTLE biased), I feel that the 993 is just so must more spectacular of a vehicle. So very very glad that I went the 993 route as opposed to a 996!

There is no doubt that the 993 is one of the most beautiful sport car designs. It's a hard one to beat.

The only one I really like better is the back end of the new GT3 cars. Just a great view from behind.

I have to say that the 993 is the best looking 911. My 996 Turbo is a head turner, but the 993 really is more beautiful. I will say that my ancient Dino is more striking than either, however.

The 993 design is what kept bugging my about my 996 GT3. When I saw the new 997 GT3 I said
THATS IT THEY GOT IT!!! Meaning Porsche captured some of the magic of the 993 in the new 997
GT3. I had a 993 TT and I miss it.

I agree. I think the 997 is a beautiful contemporary interpretation of the 993. They're both beauties.

You picked the right forum for this statement ...

Although the 993 is gorgeous, what is interesting to me is how it harkens back to the 356 days, while keeping all the good 911 lines. The designers really got it right if they wanted to build on the Porsche heritage. Nothing looks "tacked on"- simple and flowing lines all the way.

While I love the looks of my 993 as much as the next guy, I am in agreement with Jeff. The 993 is blessed with “good bones.” Ii is the logical evolution of its great grandfather, the ’65-’73 911. The print media will periodically put out an article about the most beautiful /most enduring automotive designs. The 993 is never mentioned yet the Early Cars are always a top 10.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As long as you think its the best looking then that's all that counts.

No arguements here. It's also the reason my 993 stays comfy in the garage while my new-to-me 996 stays outside under a car cover!(I really need a bigger garage!)

I agree that the 993 is great looking but just to clarify, a 997 S is not a widebody. The widebody 997 models are the C4 variants, GT2, Turbo, and GT3 RS.

993 is not just a sport car, she is a piece of art
