You know they will! Platinum would look great with those colors as well. I had a CW 981 and loved it. Easy to take car of as well.

Hopefully the reviews will be as wonderful as the GT4 has received.

interesting design, I still prefer the curves of the 987, but maybe I am in the minority. It doesn't make me want to jump ship at all, and I thought I would be tempted.

I want to see a 987 and a 981 side by side... that would be interesting.

Wow, verrry interesting.

Agree with others though - 987 Spyder lines and stripes speak to me more than this version. I'll have to see it in person.

I like the 50 hp bump from 987 Spyder, but what's up with the detuned engine and smaller brakes?? For my usage I'm still more likely to get a GT3/4 vs. this Spyder.

it is a fantastic offering from porsche!
It looks interesting but not mind blowing.
It dosnt make the 987 look any less of a car.

I will most likey end up with one at some point as i think it would make a really fun driver.
Since i already have a track car i wouldnt get the gt4 and go straight to this.

Very good to see 3.8L in these cars!

Also sometimes I like to drive around with just the bra top on, no secondary top, seems like this isn't an option on this version?

Nose looks better than 987. Otherwise, I think I still like the curves of the previous gen.

Beautiful car though!
