Doubt that from the blurb - looks like you'll have to wait for the RS to see a huge wing!

That looks a bit boring and more like a turbo without arch vents.

rear wing is the Aerokit item from the C2/C2S options list. I doubt it is the finished item.

Can anyone get the same angle shot of a current PDK car with the same steering to see whether the paddles should be visible if they were fitted?

Hope that isn't the final rear spoiler.

Perhaps an adjustable spoiler? The ducktail is obviously fixed, but perhaps the upper element can move into and out of the airflow...?

As Phooey said that looks like the aerokit rear spoiler from the C2/C2S.

Looks nice if a little... safe, in the styling dept. I think the 991 is a conventionally pretty car, and so the carryover to the motorsport incarnations should be good. Bet this thing's a beast, although I wonder if the powerplant will be anywhere near as evocative as the Mezger derived block it replaces? Really hope so as the 991 need an injection of soul (in my not-so-humble opinion).

The 991 Aerokit Cup looks gash to me. A shame but we need to see the finished article but based on the past the Aerokit Cup is the GT3 bodykit for the C2.

The rear view with the lights and spoiler looks all wrong to me.

Is that a wide-body? I thought GT3s are supposed to be narrow-bodies? Rear wing is a hateful piece of design in my eyes.

I think it looks great just the way it is, wing and all.
