I like...the TT looks really mean from the front 3/4 view, even the wheels look ok from that view. The rear seems a little odd with those vents, and the exhaust exit takes some getting used to. Maybe with some classic turbo wheels it'd look even better... 8)

Thanks for the pics.

I like the spoiler from the 996 gt3 better, and i'm iffy on the center mounted exhaust. I saw them run at the U.S. Grand Prix and it almost had an Audi look to it, kind of weird.

You need to open your eyes, this and the 996 look nothing alike. Front bumper, headlights, wing, rear bumper, interior everything looks different except the shape which is genuine 911

I prefer the shape of the 997 GT above the 997TT. It looks more clean and less in your face. I love the central exhaust - just like the supercup versions - and the 996 mkI GT3 inspired rear wing. And the specs sound really promising: 415 hp / 405 Nm for a NA 3.6. Gimme Gimme

Even if the final look of the 997 turbo is very good, I prefer others wheels set and a bigger whale tail rear wing. Otherwise, the new 997 GT3 is simply awesome, and now I can't wait for the new 997 GT2.

OMG, the Opus 911 site about the new 997TT on Porsche.de just is superb. Well done Porsche, great presentations!

The 997 GT3 really looks stunning, especially in white! It kind of accentuates the racy look...

The new GT3 looks set to be an animal at the race track, but im not overly keen on the front and rear bumpers... a bit too fussy. Will have to reserve final judgement until i see it in the flesh of course, but 115bhp/l is pretty stunning! This car is gonna kick some serious ass
