That first picture actually bugs me now that I look at it. The wing looks like a total afterthought with the aluminum (?) frame that holds it up IMO. I look at that picture and see the distinct lines of the car and then that thing stuck on. Could just be the lighting and/or might look better in body color or black.

Form follows function applied to what's essentially a 50+yr old shape. If you want pretty and aerodynamic you'll have to buy a Ferrari....at least until Porsche brings out a Carrera GT successor

Yeah I guess, but then it's also very RSR/race car which is I think the effect they are going for ... diffirentiating it from the GT3 ...

its all in the eye of the beholder I guess ... I just dont like any of the color schemes at all!

Looks like those wing supports easily unbolt?
So here's a stupid question... using the car in the States (with our silly low speed limits), would you ever consider driving the car with just the duck spoiler base? Bolt it back on for track weekends, unbolt for the daily commute.

Take the graphics and the spoiler off and you have one hell of a stealth car... if an RS could ever be stealth?

You'd probably want to get some "bumper plugs" in the correct size and color to fill the holes...

Need more pictures of this grey and gold! The first grey/gold belongs to Axis Car Management, it had sport bucket seats. This is the second one, it has light weight bucket seats.
