Default Porsche 911 GT3 RS Virtually Undisguised

Just saw this on carbuzz.com and was wondering if anyone else saw it. Looks pretty good! What does everyone think? The wing looks nuts!

+1...maybe I should have kept my RS allocation too. For the price of a Speciale, I could have both...no garage space. I wonder how many people will buy an RS for garage queen use only ? That would be a shame. Good for the car, unrealized dreams for the driver.

7:20 ? thats only 5 seconds quicker than the gt3 isnt it? so that works out to a ~1.2% better nurburgring time...


and the car is supposed to cost how much? like $220-240K?

That 5 seconds is a guy or Sabine drivng 9/10ths out of the ring. I doubt many on this forum have those skills to deliver a time like that.

Is it just me or i feel the RS is a better DD because you can see more out of the rear view mirror due to the raised wing.

Better rear view makes it a better DD ? rU serious ? There will be no one in my rear view to worry about...won't need the RS to accomplish that either.

OMG, who would drive a GT3 RS as a daily driver, unless they were semi or fully retired...

That wing looks like an aftermarket part intended for some aviation application.
