I really like that and it's a 911 with a ducktail spoiler, which is all good in my eyes. Reading the Autocar article, it's basically a manual, RWD Turbo 8-)

That's stunning 8-)
A total of 1250 examples will be made, with prices starting from £209,540 in the UK. Orders are open from 28 April 2022 and deliveries will start in July. The right-hand-drive version of the car will make its debut at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Cheers,

Mike.

Not a fan of the ducktail tbh, would look better if it was more like the lower spoiler on the GT3.

I'd have the Targa if it was me, I think they look great now that they've brought back the polished section.
An absolute unit

Pretty much what @ZedLeg said.

Have never loved convertibles, but targa are generally CAF

I quite like the ducktail but doesn't it look fat and ugly overall compared to the 1973 RS in this photo?

It looks nice, but I can't ever get myself excited about new Porsches knowing how they manipulate the market so blatantly.

Every time I see a new 911 I think it looks too big. I've really gone off them since the 997.

I like the latest 911s but I can’t tell them apart from a Taycan if I see one driving towards me.

Vastly inferior to a GT3 Touring for me.

So very very very overstyled isn't it.

Fake pic! That's an F Type :roll:
It's the height of the tail lights that makes the most difference I think (see also TT etc), they draw your eye eye up rather than down instantly making it look bigger before you even gauge its size against anything. I'd possibly accept as a legislative thing were it not for Sportages/Clubmans/etc having split level lights with indicators lower than the 911 (a setup I dislike muchly). It's the same old problem, cars get bigger but lanes don't.

I think I'm meh about it overall, about the same as the effort put into it.
