The ductail is hardly efficient by todays standards or the standards of the retractable wing (993?) though is it, and you are right wide tyres don't have to have a large radius, but it does increase the contact patch, look at the reasons for the wheel sizes used on moby dick, and yes you could go ceramic, but i've had cars with them and i'd just rather not on a track day / everyday machine, but if cost is no option i'm sure they could be added.
not sure of the physics tbh..but it's good enough for the 997....

My 2.7 RS rep was in black..but it didn't look as lovely as that. Still if I had another I think orange and black lettering would be my choice (or perhaps Viper Green).

In 50's the off the shelf D-type was capable of 170+mph without too much effort
To be fair, that was a car built to race at LeMans...

This is the first Porsche that has ever made me think "I rather fancy that".
