I suspect the 991 'aero-cup' option shown on those mules aero-cup pics is not what the 3 will sport on final release.

Even if its active+ducktail, we haven't seen a race car with a wing and a ducktail, have we?
And besides, it doesn't look right imo.

technology is killing the arts.
consumers are accepting and demanding fierce technological change that will ultimately render many lives soul-less. then it will be too late.
we will all be living in a bladerunner set.

Front looks good. The entire rear end looks like crap including the wing

Neither front or back look good, at all. I bet ya.. that's NOT how the car will look like when ready to roll.

Come on guys, can you believe the German genius will roll out such ugly design, after mastering what seems like the most beautiful GT3 ever, the 997.2 !!

Look at the overall design of the 997.2 GT3 / RS. Superb racing architecture from front to back (amazing looking rear wing/spoiler for 97.2 GT3/RS)..compared to predecessor 97.1

How could they go wrong - exterior design-wise!

Mind you, many people didn't like the .2 RS wing either, compared to the .1RS design.

How do you determine it has PDK from the photo?

The profile of those tires look insanely low - is that due to the 19's?

Good observation... something's not quite right there... pressure too low or just not the right tires... but with these mules it doesn't help to get too hung up on fine details...

19's or 20's.

The photo is a car at speed under cornering forces that roll the tire across the bead and make it look that way. A little uphill in the mix and the extra compression accentuates the "low rider" look.

Having read this thread http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/t...=Porsche+Macan about the new tail lights I wonder if its something similar lurking under this panel on the new 991 GT3?
