Oh dear that does look a dog's dinner.....probably the photo doesn't help with lots of reflections but then that is a true life pic.
Is that front splitter actually digging into the soil !

I agree. Why do people like how the GT3 RS looks but not the GT2 RS? Doesn't make sense to me.
The GT2 RS is supposed to be the 911 halo car, nobody can expect it to look like a "plain Jane".
Also, any comparison with Gemballa is ridiculous (look at the monstrosities Gemballa created).

Leawood911:It is a 2 cm curb. No wonder. If this person has driven a 911 prior they would have some idea of the overhang in front. This is not a good Porsche to learn with. Lol.
It is a factory car. EM = Entwicklung Motorsport. I assume the person has driven quite a few 911 before

I thought EM means Entwicklung Motor? Or was it Eis Maschine? Hmm...can't remember.
Anyway: You're right, the driver surely drove a few 911 before.

As a matter of fact, the design of the GT2 RS reminds me of the design of one of the tuners like Gemballa.
The front is very dull with basically only large rectangular openings and the black parts look like they are aftermarket.
I think they could have done better. The 918 for example is also a halo car and it's one of the most beautiful designed car.
It's simply not pretty. Now the GT3 RS is pretty

DaveGordon:Those spoilers can be quite a liability.. I accidentally parked a bit like that in Italy and cam back to find the front of my car covered with ants!
My car usually attracts those small little black flies. Whenever I park it somewhere near trees, the car is full of them. Never happens to any of my other cars, weird. Maybe they sense the heat from the engine? They are usually sitting around the rear part of the car (not on the glass cover of the engine bay though).

I believe Lamborghini got it right with their Performante and LP750-4, while GT2/3 RS + F12 TDF have suffocated their limited models with design overkill
BiTurbo:SciFrog:The TDF is fine, no wing...
Not a fan of the front bumper, everything else is fine. I was prepared to trade in my F12 for the TDF until I ran into the front end
At sticker? That's one way to leave hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table, I guess...
Next time you have the chance and pass it up, let me know
