Those Rolex 24 winner stickers are super cringy on the new car.

On the other hand, those wheels look fantastic.

This really highlights how the 911s design has been increasingly Hondanized since the 996 generation:

Lots of ugly vents, ducts and other 'features' everywhere and most of those looking like cheap plastic elements. Stolen directly from a Civic Type R.

I love the DC2 Integra Type R as well as the EK9 Civic Type R! Not to mention the NSX. Honda was so on the money in the late 90’s and early 2000’s.

Saw this last week. It has aged SO well. Out aged multiple generations of Ferraris in my opinion.

I like it! the original was better all the way around but this is a nice homage and done by someone with the proper credentials.

The Le Mans winning sister car is for sale for those of you who don't like this modern take...just sayin ;-)
