Very nice concept and analogy with the bike.
Better yet really like pics #19 and 26. Nice view of the "coefficient of drag"

There is a Harley where Porsche did the engine, the V-Rod, which I guess this could be underneath.
This thing is a swing and a miss.
Aside from the ludicrous photography, the problem being this is not a performance bike, so the bike doesn't match the car or resemble it in any way -- may as well stitch and airbrush Porsche logos on a lawn mower.
Anyway, the gray paint doesn't match the Porsche, the car they used doesn't have ceramic rotors (yellow calipers) but the bike has steel rotors and yellow calipers ... it's just a laundry list of "you didn't think this through" blunders.
And thumbs down for depicting photo models like trash.

No thanks....

Carrera GT seems like you're taking it a bit to serious and technical.
To me it's a gimick and usual advertizing stuff.
I still like the rear view. It's like a nice diffuser.

remember, the germans also like David Hasselhoff...

Probably so. I'm not criticizing the craftsmanship or design work, it's just a bit "uninformed" you might say. And I have no patience for the way the younger generations continue bad social tendencies to objectify women -- nothing good comes of it. Of course, that could just be the bad taste of the photog or a misguided attempt to appeal to a perceived buyer demographic, and the guy that built the bike might cringe at the sight of it.

Then again, Ducati just got bought by bloody VW ... so maybe I'm feeling a little embattled in the garage lately ... the two manufacturers I really cared about, Porsche and Ducati, gone. Just look how quickly VW screwed up Porsche. Heaven help Ducati -- the bikes and their race team.

Agree on bike tackiness, but as Butt-Head once sagaciously observed, "***** are cool".

Please people don't make me mention the dude who painted his 88 Honda Accord Black with an Orange Stripe running the bottom length of the car on both sides. There is also "GT3RS" oranges letters on the side too. Haven't seen him in awhile.

Who is more wrong? The men that objectify women? Or the women that take pride and pleasure in having themselves objectified?

One could argue that the women seeking this kind of attention are the cause of the moral demise of the "younger generations." Or is society to blame? Where the rich, older generations sit back and sell kids on behavior like this, while collecting large sums of money as owners and executives of film, music, and advertising companies??

You've stumbled onto a clever pun. Indeed later years of the GT3 RS were fitted with a canard front wing and this spurious argument of photography models working by choice in the shallow end of the sex industry is also called a canard.

Try convincing a group of responsible parents that their children should consider this line of work as a safe, healthy and happy life.

That's a rather tangled argument and here is not the place to unravel it. If I'm going to ask fellow Rennlisters to indulge me in an off-topic debate, I'll choose a topic like banking corruption and political campaign finance, not to point a moral finger at the entertainment industry or any given society for its consumption of sex and drugs and rock and roll.
