Ugliest 911 ever?
Discussion
What on earth were the thinking with those headlamps? I can sort of get it with the original design-the 996.1. But to then think oh no one likes these we better change them and to come up with the 996.2 look
Still I suppose you don't have to look at them whilst you're having a blast driving I suppose. (You just get to look at the crappy interior instead )
996.2 GT3, especially RS I wouldn't say is the worst, I'm with the OP in that I reckon the turbo cars look even worse. Aggressive, yes. Certainly have road presence, but good looking? Not by a long way.
996.1 aerokit runs it very close though.

930 flatnose SSE
And what's one of them. Can't be a 930 and SSE? Or do you mean 930 SE.?930 flatnose SSE
Or you could mean the SSE flatnose, rare as they get though.
Personally I love the 930 LE.
Ugliest has to be the 991. Huge goping great monster of an Audi.
I was trying to cover off the flatnose 'family'

That makes perfect sense apart from the fact that it feels like it was a panic reaction to me.The new Porsche 'face' introduced in 1997 was MASSIVE for Porsche and I am sure you can remember how controversial it was. This was a very carefully considered strategic move away from the old brand identity. The Box and 996 had the same face for very deliberate reasons.
To change this so quickly, seems an about turn to me. Its not a subtle update, the front end profile is significantly different.
I saw these 2 at the Porsche museum some time ago (before I bought a decent camera...)

Bloody hell! What's the story with this one? Looks like an early 90s concept with a couple of little styling cues that ultimately evolved into the 996.http://www.fastgerman.com/germany.htm
I think an early 80s targa with whale tail, in some naff colour like JRG or metallic green, would be top of my list for ugly 911s.
I may well get flamed for this but
