    Irregardless, the rear of this "old" pic looks far better than the brutish and exaggerated ricer version we see in the latest itteration of the spyshots.

    No, it does not. Look very closely at the right-side rear pic. You can actually make out the Gillette Mach 3 Turbo vents, although they seem to be covered by something.

    Nice one That car really looks like an afterthought. They took a nice 997 and just stuck on a bunch of unrelated design elements that look like they came from 3 different cars

    For some reason I find the rear appealing but I can imagine why the vehicle looks strange. The vents on the GT2's rear bumper resemble fish-gills and is reminiscent to the Cayman's side intakes.

    I, too, like it. I find it very true to the spirit of 911-Turbo should be, a bit "add-on", a bit odd. If I want smooth clean design, I will go for a non-turbo.

    You are too kind. The rear is a disaster. Slowly but surely I am losing faith in Porsche.

    Like the vents in that same position on the 996 GT2, 996 TT, 997 TT they'll be the air outlets from the intercoolers.

    Por911 your car looks much better but still to pimped for my taste, the standart 997 looks way much better.

    Unfortunately, chances for PDK in 997TT and/or 997GT2 are close to zero percent

    Re: 997 GT2 is coming...more details

    Front looks so much better than the TT, with the big mouth and the lack of the foglights.

    The back however looks a bit messy, hopefully darker colours will tone down the 'gills'.

    Wheels are also so much better than the TT, I wonder whether the rears are 20s?

    I decided to order one this morning, so have placed the deposit to become No1 at my dealer.

    The magazine claims 525-550hp and 80-110kilos less, but with Porsche's latest trends, I think that's a tad optimistic.

    I hope they push the higher end of both of those echelons if the GT2 will be a serious contender against SL etc...

    I think the GT2 will be faster than the RS and SL.

    Sadly, the GT2 look bad and don't have the timeless perfect RS look.
