Honestly, forget the 991...I'll take a 981 please. This thing is so perfectly proportioned, and that taillight spoiler integration is slick as fuck. Love the color choices here too.

I dunno I couldn't see me buying one but it does look a lot better. I like the hints from the Carrera GT e.g. spoiler integration and the side vent. Interior is also a lot better.

I like the taught shaping, especially around the sides and rear, plus the front end lacks the gimicky look of those wrap-around LEDs that the 991 has (not that they look bad, mind you). I think the vents look more purposeful. the rear more athletic, and the front more solid and masculine.

I'd like to see a tuner install a minor CF front lip and swap out the rear diffuser insert for something more aggressive, while changing the exhaust ports to split duals instead of that center exit (my one gripe about this design).

Wow that is beautiful. I was considering the new 911 for the next car but I think this looks even better
