If I close my eyes and think of what defines a 911 shape I see this...

Me too, guards red turbo smile

Used to really like the 993's but dont think they have aged as well as the 930's and 964's although you have to love the 993 GT2's ....dont like the 996's at all (sorry)
My favourite shape 911 in my favourite colour too.

Having said that I certainly wouldn't object to one of the new "wide hip" models...

Oups sorry - deleted message as it wasn't intended to this forum.

Best shaped 911 for me: 2.7RS, 964 RS and 993 S and RS for me.

I think the 930 or the 2.7RS is the best shape of all time for 911's but notice some have mentioned 997's in this thread but not specifically the 911 Sport Classic.

I thought it worth a pic or 2 on the end of this thread smile

Those are the ones with the Max Power style humpy-roof aren't they. The only aspect of that car that mildly appeals to me are the Fuchs (although they should have been left to the old cars really) and the interior.

From a time when the Porsche marketing department decided to show us how they were going to do things from now on. Switch everything to overdrive and raid the parts bin! wink

...and then have the cheek to call it 'Classic'!

Yuk.

Am I alone in thinking 997s and 991s are as good looking as any old skool cars ??

This GT3 looks better than the very nice 964 next to it IMHO

Acht it's all just personal opinion, they still have the 911 outline pretty much.

Unless there is a feature which stands out proportionally then i couldn't say it's worse than any other.

The classic shape though, with the upright lights is what i've always liked about 911's, it's part of the memory of a 911 so i think you have to have them.

I did wonder, I even followed the link but it didn't help much smile (i.e. Best looking 911 of all time is a Ferrari?)

As a child I adored the 993tt, now 997.1 C2-4S.

For me it is:

991
997
996 (Carrera 4S)
964
901
996 (Not Carrera 4S)
993
930

In that order.
