Ugly? In your mind, remove all the bs camo body work and you'll see underneath it's a thing of beauty...but that's just me. Beauty is in the eyes of the beer holder.
I hope the wing will not see production. It's fugly.

It looks a little different but because its new. The rear wing looks like the old whaletail design.

Guys, you saw the 997, its not that different looks wise from the 996 but its a whole new beast under the skin and a much better look overall. Its the litte things that count. I think after Porsche fine polishes that rough stone its gonna be a very sharp diamond.

The nuevo duck/whale tail is nice!
The Firebird tailpipes suck bad.

Those 997 turbo spy shots have been out for over 6 months.
They have released some information claiming it will be out in mid 06 with 490 HP. Not too shabby. I'm sure they'll clean up the production version. I'm also sure that I'll buy one regardless.

The spycar has a lot of air intake points which are rough. The diffuser in the front spoiler is huge. The intakes in the door and tail are a little different looking too. Once Prosche has it mechanically working they will clean up the looks.
