GT3 Aesthetics?

Having owned a 2019 gt3rs and now a 2022 gt3, the gt3 is a much better car in almost all regards. When you see the 992 gt3 in person you will like it, when you get to drive the 992 gt3 you will love it!

I had a 997S, 991.1gt3, 991.2gt3 and now a 992gt3. I loved the looks of all and the way they drove. Guys the 992gt3 is streets ahead in terms of driving and I think it looks great as well.

I can confirm this as well. I LOVED my 991.2 GT3 but this is better. In every way but ONE (the sound at idle). And the driving improvement is not small, it's massive. I have owned and driven many exotics and nothing carves a corner as naturally and effortlessly as this beast. As for looks, I love the swan neck wing. Add some top stripes and even the snout looks good. Sorry, but I'm in love....

Anyone that thinks the 991.1 or .2 version of the GT3 looks better than the 992 version is someone who did not get a 992 GT3 allocation.

Am I getting one? Yes. Does it mean that I will say (because will be the new toy) that is a cleaner/nicer design than the 991? Never.
I like both but 991 has a cleaner design from all the angles and a better sound, 992 is a step up in handling with a more comfy/touring interior, btw no wrong decision with any GT3 generation.

It is quite probable that the 992 GT3 in an incremental improvement over the predecessor 991.2.
However, does anyone agree that aesthetically, it's a (ahem)... awkward looking design, from it's black goatee on the bow to it's contrivance on the ****?
Is it a form follows function or a dog's dinner?

as an architect and industrial designer, if you are buying porsche for aesthetic, u have missed the target by a few light years.

This is my first Porsche GT car like a few on here I have owned some Pcars G50, 996, 991.1(GTS), 992 C2s. I picked mine up on Weds this week and when I got home I literally sat on my drive way in front of it admiring how in creditable it looked in person. Pictures really do not do it justice. I have more people come up and look at it and admire it than I ever did with my R-8. There are plenty of ascetically pleasing cars out there but, as it was stated if you buying this for ascetics then it is not car for you. I have only 60 miles on it so, I can only say wow, the difference between my 992 C2s. I will give feedback more I drive it.

Felt the same until I saw them in person. They are stunning.
But that doesn’t make the 991.2 bad either. I still love the design of the 991.2. It has just the right amount of sharpness to keep looking stunning now.
By itself, it’s still a head turner. But when parked next to a 992 it does feel old.
Time will tell.
