    I just don't get the rear slats. They don't follow any of the lines of the car. It is certainly an afterthought of a design

    I don't care for them, either. Knowing Porsche, though, I'm sure they're at least moderately purposeful. Sometimes, form has to take a backseat to function. And, if you have a GT2, there's no backseat at all.

    Re: GT2 on the streets of Dusseldorf

    It's simply awesome!!!!
    I love it. A question on GT2 owners: how low is the car relative to the ground? Do you have problems in normal road driving inside a city?

    Always find it so funny, they won't put the porsche badges on.. so it's not a Porsche?! Is this a rule or something with these early new-cars..

    You're right - no hood badge, no wheel center cap badges. I wonder if the rear window has the Porsche name along the bottom?

    Maybe it's Ferrari's new Dyno test mule with a GT2 body?

    Re: GT2 on the streets of Dusseldorf

    I agree that the front looks fantastic. The rear looks ... not so fantastic - certainly not nearly as attractive as the GT3 or TT, but still ahead of the Carrera.
