Flat noses just look wrong. Just not a true 911 silhouette. There is just one exception. A silver flat nose that a very good mate has owned for many many years. Reg no EGG3D. Some how Egg's flat nose somehow looks just right.

If you strip away nostalgia is is the 993 - it is not a hard question to answer  Otherwise the 964 RS has a strong shout against the early 70s cars. However, I have to add that the best 911 shape whatever it may be does not have a rear wing. The wing is functional and my last 2 have had one, but if you are only interested in a classic shape then for me it is not for the winner. Or to put it another way: I love my 997.2GT3 and it certainly is the car that I want to be driving right now but if someone in a 964, a 993 or a '72 911S were to contest that they had a better looking car, the only answer that I could give would be yes. Which of those is the best is very much down to taste and all of them could make a compelling argument.

1) 993 GT2
2) 1973 2.8 RSR (not a typo)
Think I may have a bit of a wheelarch fetish...
Edit:
Having said that the relatively slim-hipped RUF CTR could be my number 3).

Just sat on my balcony in Zante, sipping an Ouzo and thumbing through the EVO, 911 Heaven feature and I think I have the answer? 993 with secondary honours split between the 964 and the 997
