Looks a bit whimsical with that Duck tail but I like it, it's different.
Power is also up 23HP to 408 and comes with a manual only. Sadly will not be available in North America and is limited to 250 units....

Technically a "Whale Tail" is the kind of a tail in the first image.

A "Duck Tail" is the one in image 2 below and is featured on the new 911 Sport Classic.

Just yesterday I was coming home from work and saw a Kia (or was it a Hyundai) that was a 4-door sedan with a trunk AND A REAR WINDOW WIPER!!

Never saw one like that before and I hope I never do again.

A modern 911 (997) is somewhere in between. Let's call it a "Beaver Tail"?

Just an update on the Panamerica. I saw one in person on Capri. Well it is unfortunate but the photos do not lie, it is just as ugly in person.

Jim.......Personally, I thinks those lines are getting a little long in the tooth. Spoiler, too

It works like this, left foot on the brake, right foot buries the throttle, let off the brakes and the Turbo (other PDK cars as well) launches itself with a slight chirp of the tires and maximum acceleration to a blistering 3.2 sec 0-60 time with the computer doing all the work. Good luck for any Corvette to get that optimal traction to be even remotely close to those times. I know, I used to own a Z06, numbers sound great on paper but actually doing it is something else.
So in other words, you need a car that does the driving for you?
