Even though I think the kit looks good, I dont think that a ducktail should be available on the carrera and carrera S. IMO an iconic feature like the porsche ducktail should be reserved for more a more special model or edition (dont get me wrong I also HATE the fact that porsche keeps bringing out newer and better stuff, JUST as you take delivery!!).
I think it sort of 'dilutes' the cult of the ducktail. This aero kit is definitely going to be WAY more popular than the old ones were, thats for sure! Which in a way ruins the standard 911 game, because all the carreras will now look like sport classics...and not like carreras!

Another interesting question is.... is this what the GT3 will look like? We all know the aero kit is for those who intend to have a GT3 look on their carrera!

Last but not least, I think it is totally ridiculous to have yet another optional wing on top of the already optional ducktail! So silly, this in itself, ruins the ducktail spoiler.

All in all I think it looks great, but porsche has messed with their traditions a bit...

 

I have to say, I absolutely LOVE it! I was one of those people who was cringing when I first saw the 991 pix when the car was minimally disguised. I hated how the rear was integrated, but I have to say they pulled it off and contrary to what some people are saying, I think the Ducktail fits very well and looks right at home on this car. Let's face it, the original Ducktail'd '73 Carrera RS was amazing, but the first time you saw one, didn't you think the ducktail looked a bit strange and odd? I know I did. But like many things, the taste was acquired and then I began to think early cars looked strange WITHOUT one You can look to my avatar to know how I feel about Ducktails. I really like this, I really didn't think I would, but it looks right at home on the 991. The ONLY thing that looks odd to me about the 991 now, is how the front LED/Turn signals are integrated into the front bumper. That one could have been a cleaner design in my eyes. But I can overlook that because the rest of the front end looks great!

I wonder how many people are going to take off the Porsche lettering or the model designation lettering. The rear end looks a bit like a book with all of that lettering and model designation added to it.

The more I look at this, the more I think it look very interesting. A little odd from a few angle. You saw this in person, did it look better when you were therew? Maybe 911 is not photogenic in general?

 

u have to check it out in reality, thats the only way to be 100% sure.

 

[QUOTE=mdc;3319198]I think this is the major problem with 911s. They just don't smile pretty in pictures. But in real life...va va va va voom!

Aero Kit Cup:

 

That silver one with the ducktail is my next Porsche!

 

WOW..... love it. This may be my next car!

 

Does the wing raise and lower?

 

The rear end looks way better without the tail and that silly tack on cms replica wing. The whole thing looks incredibly try hard....borderline pathetic. This is one case of less is more.

 

Agreed. That Aero Cup (is that what it is called?) option with the duck tail is a huge mistake imo. That Aero cup if for sure an after thought. For me, it is one or the other.

 

not a fan of the duck wing, wheels or the 4x4 ride height. once those are fixed itll look nice. i think the front looks good though.

 

LOL at the guy posing next to the car, look at his face *cough* ******bag *cough*

 

I actually am thinking of just having "911" on the back of my 06 C2. I just like the simplicity of it. Everyone knows you are driving a Porsche.
