    07 TT vs 997.2 Comp PHOTO

    Here's a photo comp; a 07 TT and Nico's new 997S.

    I love the clean, wingless, classic, flowing, uncluttered look; I think the front of the 997.2 is now visually near-perfect for a modern P-car (mirrors )

    Sure, you gotta have a few vents for the TT, but..., I miss that "form-follows-function" dream, especially in the front and rear end of the TT.

    Just for fun, no biggie:

    Re: 07 TT vs 997.2 Comp PHOTO

    MMD,

    I have to agree that there is something beautiful in the simpler look of 997S.

    Straight on from the rear, the 997S also looks better to my eyes than the Turbo.

    Re: 07 TT vs 997.2 Comp PHOTO

    The turbo looks awkward and overcomplicated from just about any angle. All I know is this -- the torque must be ridiculously intoxicating for MMD to have been able to buy one despite the cosmetic flaws.

    Re: 07 TT vs 997.2 Comp PHOTO

    MMD although i agree, i think it's not that bad. When i look at the 997TT and squeeze my eyes harddddd i can still see a 930 which means its held its roots somehow... visually yes Nico's 997.2 is so pure and i love it, but the turbo has to look more cluttered.

    I personally think that black 993 next to Nico's 997 is the purest looking 911! haha.

    Yeah..., you are correct Atz... . I don't look at my car and get non-happy anymore. It's just fine.

    Nugget: in order to prepare myself my idea was to apply one of these tools (photo below) to the wing if I had to. No kidding, I thought if I really "hated" it after a few days of ownership, I would have a few slugs ( ) and go to work on the droopy ends of the wing. A surgical application of a hacksaw with a fine blade wouldn't make a decent YouTube video. Would worry about patching end-holes and repaint later; after the hangover. Eventually just left it alone; must have been the intoxicating overboost.

    Re: 07 TT vs 997.2 Comp PHOTO

    The turbo looks cool in its own right.

    Re: 07 TT vs 997.2 Comp PHOTO

    The turbo is cool, but what I really miss is that on the fron, all the inlets give it a way too busy look. The 996tt was master in taht department I think. Especially that the fluent line is gone bothers me: in the picture, the lower line shouldn't be there... it is there in the GT2, the GT3 and the turbo, and it bothers me. Also, the foglight and the additional vents are disturbing the beautiful lines to me. And in the end... turbo still is king!

    Re: 07 TT vs 997.2 Comp PHOTO

    hey mmd, though i was never a fan of porsche wings....the turbo simply looks killer from the back. far better than any standard carrera.

    having owned my gt2 now for almost 6 months i got used to that tail as well and it suits the car. without it, something would be missing.

    both look better in lighter colours. i much more prefer my white gt2 thank my slate turbo. wish i had gotten that in white too.....

    and then i'd also prefermy cayenne to be white as well

    Re: 07 TT vs 997.2 Comp PHOTO

    Good points you guys make.

    Would be also nice to lose the grille!!

    Hey!!! Shut up! (kidding)

    Re: 07 TT vs 997.2 Comp PHOTO

    A Very interesting topic. As for me I prefer the clean classic 997.2 lines over the TT complications and spoilers.
    But I have to admit:

    Turbo without wing is like kingdom without king

    very nice indeed.
    But over all:
    for me the turbo has the perfekt design, you can't amend.
    It has the real mixture of classy and modern, subtle aggressive, im loving

    Re: 07 TT vs 997.2 Comp PHOTO

    The TT does look great, really - I'm only jealous.

    I much prefer the aesthetics of the 996TT rear wing, although I realise the 997TT wing produces a good deal more downforce.

    It's just a shame the rear-engined layout precludes any serious underbody aero at the back, to remove the need for seriously big wings.

    Re: 07 TT vs 997.2 Comp PHOTO

    btw what's the color of the turbo in the picture? atlas?
