Why's it crazy? Isn't the 911 a fundamentally elegant shape?

But the standard Carrera S wing is just horrible.
I am still sad the ST comes with that one instead (for example) the one from the Sport Classic.

Do mean that the ST comes with that one, as the only option, instead of the one from the Sport Classic?

Yeah the ST comes with the standard Carrera S spoiler only.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember correctly the S/T has a shorter rear wing than GT3 Touring.

But hell, man. You can't put any spoiler on an ST! That's just wrong.

Not sure exactly what is being discussed - Carrera, GT3 touring and ST all have the same spoiler. ST has an additional Gurney flap at the edge for more downforce which allows the spoiler to stay down till a higher speed. The only other cosmetic difference at the rear between the GT3 touring and ST is the 3rd brake light arrangement (ST has the 2 vertical lines like Carrera).
Carrera
GT3 touring
ST
The Sport Classic has the duck tail and is unique to it.

Information from EVO ; I have not fully understood what it actually brings to the GT3 Touring :
The GT3 Touring is a more subtle take on Porsche’s track-focused 911, and now Manthey-Racing has applied its own motorsport expertise to the model. The Touring’s trademark wingless look survives the Manthey transformation, but there are numerous changes under the skin to make it more capable than ever.
At the heart of the Manthey upgrade is a new four-way adjustable shock absorber kit, with aluminium damper units, new top mounts and a complete overhaul of the suspension geometry and ride height to make the most of the new hardware. The 992 GT3’s double-wishbone front suspension layout remains, as does its 4-litre naturally-aspirated flax-six with 503bhp and 347lb ft of torque.
Manthey has developed new optional lightweight wheels for the Touring, reducing unsprung weight to improve damping control and traction. Measuring 20 inches on the front axle and 21 inches at the rear, the set saves a total of 7.3kg and mimics the design of the OEM GT3 RS Weissach wheels – only with milled spokes and embossed Manthey logos. Buyers can choose from a total of six wheel colours, ranging from satin black to gold.
While the Manthey-tuned Touring retains its wingless silhouette, there are numerous aero tweaks throughout. Optional rear-axle carbonfibre aero disc covers are said to improve downforce, with a combination of a new front splitter, redesigned underbody air guides and a new carbonfibre rear diffuser all contributing to an increase in high-speed stability.
Behind those new wheels are the standard GT3 brake rotors and calipers, but new Manthey-specific brakes pads and braided stainless steel lines are said to improve longevity and pedal response.
You’ll have to look closely to spot a Manthey kit-equipped GT3 Touring, with the (optional) decal set not quite as bold as on its upgraded GT2 and GT3 RS models. New front and rear tow lugs help set them apart though, as do aero disc decals, illuminated Manthey-branded door sills and puddle projectors.
Pricing for the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Manthey kit is yet to be disclosed, but expect it to cost in the region of £40,000.
