Default The RS 4.0 looks so much better in person than on pictures - Any1 have good 4.0 pics?

I have seen my first black 4.0 today and I was amazed! The shape and curves pop really well, I prefer the shape over the 991 RS and I'm inclined to say that this is my favourite Porsche of all time. On pictures however, the 4.0 tends to look plain and the curves do not come to life the way they are in person, whereas many other models are just as good-looking in pictures than in person.

Does anyone have good 4.0 pics? Do you feel the same way? What is it that makes the 4.0 so special in person?

Yes I have some really good ones I took in Stuttgart of a white 997 RS 4.0 parked outside the dealership across from the Porsche Museum. I'll try to dig them up and post up this weekend. I took closeups and distance shots and got every angle. Very special car and yes incredible presence.

Here's an Iphone pick of my 4.0. It has bugs on the front bumper because I drive it Epic car and yes I agree they are much more impressive in real life, especially in black, not that I'm bias or anything

That is the only 4.0 that can climb stairs.

You might try driving that car instead of leaving it in the garage all the time
