When Porsche get some four to five years of racing on this engine, I will think about it. Untill then an early version car is not for me. R&D is done with first units too, I am not going to be their R&d mule!

not really impressed with the look of the 991's hope the 991 cups are better than the 997 otherwise its a complete failure..

With the rear fender vents - looks like a turbo. IMHO

WTF... this looks about as exciting as cold turkey. Actually I take it back... Frozen turkey's more like it.

Side vents look like paste on fakes. OTOH, I don't see a fixed rear spoiler. The front end looks correct for a GT3. Wouldn't it be terrific if Porsche dropped the center locks as a bad idea? That would be inconsistent, however, with their attitude over the past, let's say, 50 years.

Why would they be testing a GT3 in the snow?

You know how it is, they must keep improving the breed, so by going to 5-lug, they give current owners a reason to upgrade
