The 981 Boxster design borrows considerably from the Carrera GT.
Clearly the deep cut into the 981's doors, leading to the air intake, is strongly reminiscent of the C GT. The 981's 'carved' doors are very much integrated in the overall design, and for that reason, are that much more appealing.
Similarly, the 981's rear spoiler, which does not stop at the tail lights, reflects the C GT, albeit in the latter, the spoiler caresses the top of the tail lights, whereas with the 981, it bisects them. I believe this design is unique to the 981; I can't think of another car, Porsche or otherwise that has this. Over time, I've really come to appreciate this unique design nuance.
