This is a good example. Back when US regulation was more stringent, Porsche decided to 'add' to the ROW bumpers to pass the tougher US requirements.
Now that the euro regulations have caught up (and in many ways surpassed) US regulations, the engineers and designers can cohesively implement solutions for all markets without band-aids. The 991 has good looking bumpers, and they are VASTLY superior to the bumperette US 993 bumpers.
Good looking AND more functional......win/win
