Nearly impossible decision. At first I voted Touring and then, realising my choice would be the same as Jimmy's, went and changed it to the all out, proper GT3.

I see the Touring as stealth or gentleman's GT3. However the bonnet is too aggressive for the car to look elegant and it comes across a bit unfinished.

"GT3 - without wing"

"GT3 - without wing"

I think a Porsche engineer wrote this was not to be done, because it becomes aerodynamically unstable (the Touring Package has a retractable wing similar to the base 911)... though I think it looks better than the Touring with the small spoiler.

Hmmm...

for 992, winged GT3.

for 991.2, Touring.

I think the 992's front double wishbone is a BFD for spirited driving, especially if one fancies a track drive. Whereas for Touring either a 991.2 or a 992 would suffice, but the 991.2 has a slight advantage when it comes to style and size.

I sort of feel the opposite - Winged GT3, I clearly prefer the looks of 991.2. OTOH, touring - coin flip between the two and on looks. But you get ITB + double wishbone on 992. Plus a better interior (IMO).

Day 2 and I still can't decide. Oh, if only this was a real dilemma - what a dilemma to have!

Porsche released some pictures of the Touring in red... time to compare both in this color. I have some reserves on the Touring Pack's painted front vs the blacked version of the regular GT3 :

Quite the opposite for me personally.

It seems to me that the vote reflects the average age of the members, a few years ago I would have voted the opposite, today I appreciate the subtle beauty a little more

Agree. The painted bumper is okay with dark colors. With bright colors, it is a bit much.

Anyway my ideal 911 is mish mash of 3 911s - GT3 front + Touring rear + GTS interior. In carmine.
