Default Ugly Supercars

Showed a photo of the new 992 GT3RS to my wife and the first thing that came out of her mouth was, IT'S UGLY and it got me thinking if the new RS is starting to look like a car, which in Porsche's quest to create the ultimate Track car, is too! much for the street, kind of like a McLaren Senna, which I think is one of the ugliest cars ever created. I know this thread might not be popular with some, but just curious if people on here would be comfortable driving a 99 2GT3RS around town.

Senna UGLY! but fast, I'd be embarrassed driving this around town

McLaren 600LT Fast and Cool looking

991.2 GT3

992GT3RS?

I agree. As the owner of a 991.2 GT3, I like my sport/track car to be both fast and attractive. I have zero interest in a 992 RS.

That 991.2 just has such beautiful flowing lines, but at the same time is as fast as you'd want for a street car, but would still be amazing at the Track. I just think the 992RS is starting to look a little gaudy with the canards and giant wing.

all McLaren cars are ugly and are just variations of the same cheesy,
they look like hell compared to Ferarri or Lambo

Some McLarens aren’t bad looking.

I'm generally ok with the GT3 RS because form is following function. It's a purpose built track car and Porsche has many other options that are more beautiful cars if you just want to cruise on the street. I think the GT4 Spyder is one such example of a truly beautiful car.

I may be in the minority but to my eyes the senna looks amazing. Pictures of the car don’t do it justice. It’s mean as hell in person.

I can appreciate a manufacturer who has both options. Fast/sleek car for the street and a crazy aggressive car for the track. They both have their place.

Ferrari and Lamborghini have had their share of Turds as far as looks go.

In my opinion the Mclaren P1 is the nicest one they built.

Yup! I like how everything flows together on that one, doesn't look all clapped together like a Senna or Enzo, P1 looks so much better than the Senna. I'm curious of how the new Z06/Z07 with 670 Naturally Aspirated Horsepower will compare with the 992 GT3RS. I think it has a much cleaner look

To me, perfect 911 would be 997r with rs 4.0 engine.

If I was looking for a track car only, then the 992RS fits the bill. But if I wanted something to drive around in public, too much cladding imo

Never like Bugatti's until the Divo came along, looks a lot more aggressive than the original Veyron
