I don't see a side view of the 718 in these photos. But, from the rear I prefer the look of the 986. To me, it's classic. As is the single tailpipe. Over the years, the single tailpipe has been replaced with twin pipes. While I think the twin pipes are sharp, I like the single pipe. It was novel and innovative for its day. It gave the appearance of a rocket, ready to take off!

I agree, it shows how the 986 is a timeless beauty, all compound curves )
