They're beautiful, but always felt like the .2 Touring was a novelty more than anything. Answered a problem that never was, i.e., someone wants a GT3 but just can't get past the wing. I know the demand was there, but with the 4.0 and 6MT it would have been there with a ducktail too, or whatever they did...
Especially with the spoiler active on the Touring the contrast isn't very stark. Nothing like .2 GT3 to .2 RS, for example.
Standard model is busier and more polarizing this time. If they stay consistent with understated design, 992 Touring will be a real contrast and gorgeous with the light bar. Just due to the top mounted wing alone I can understand strong preference for a Touring.
992 GT3 is immediately more modern, focused, and aggressive. Think the 991.2 goes down as the more beautiful car by some margin.
Could make the argument the 991 cleaned up some of the 997's design, it's sleeker, with better flow and integration throughout. No similar progression 991 to 992 GT3. 992 looks out of the Motorsport dep. Fine by me, but pretty different design language.
