Careful!

That pic was snapped at the 2003 Geneva Auto Show at the Porsche stand.

It's of a cut-away display engine that might have been made "pretty" for show-goers and may not be representative of production inner finishes.

Thats right. My concern is that they may have done that. Say, Could you be so kind as to remove your intake so I can get some pics? Thanks.

I'll send the dremel, and you can just glue that top back on.

When I think of a beautiful engine, I think of a Ferrari V12. Don't get offended just because I think the CGT engine is ugly, it's not made to be looked at anyway. Just my opinion.

Beauty is in the engine design. And it is wrapped in structural carbon. And nestled beneath silver neglige. And placed in a rocket ship. So...

What is left to be ugly?

I own a Testarossa and I don't feel its engine even come close to the CGT. It certainly isn't ugly, but it isn't anywhere near as beautiful of an engine.

I guess everyone has their own tastes, someone has to date the fat ugly women.
