Voodoo on the 991 & Shark on the new 992



Also this pretty cool image

Interesting. Maybe Voodoo is closer to Estoril…

Estoril looks a lot like Voodoo to me.

That is cool. And I have to say I really love the 991's grin a lot more than the weird pencil thin moustache on the 992.

EDIT: And the black air intake on the 992 is kind of meh. The 991 really is a nicer looking car.

No doubt. I also think the 991 GT3 > 992 GT3, swan wing be damned.

I do like the Spyder nose more than the Boxster GTS nose. I also like the old GTS nose more than the new GTS nose, but oh well.

Dude. No. The 992 is wicked haht.

These blues look pretty amazing to me, btw. The color being found on a VW GTI wouldn’t bother me. But it is funny as hell.

Not saying the 992 doesn't look great. I just like the 991 front bumper.

As far as the color, the Boxster wears the blue a LOT better than the GTI. I saw one on the highway and it looked a bit cartoonish. Same with the larger Audi sedan and Toyotas that are offered in a similar color.
