It's my impression that, to a certain extent, both Porsche and Honda share the philosophy that "form follows function".




It's just a side air vent, not exactly rocket science here. It's more about form following the bottom line. Cheap, cheap, cheap.



Funny you should say that. I do tend to think of aerodynamics as being one branch of rocket science.



Examine a 430/612/575...even casual inspection reveals many "cheap"/cheap-feeling touches, incl door pulls, door locking mechanisms, various buttons/switchgear, etc.....and, perhaps most interestingly, F decided to "save" its limited, costly first-gen side/head airbags just for the 100/yr 599s, rather than the other 5000/yr 430/612s.....



Does anyone have an idea of how many parts the 997TT shares with the 997, Cayman and Boxster?

RC, there is no doubt it is one fast car. The best way to describe the 997TT is "fast transportation". Nothing more.
