Fwiw basis a rep at one of the PAG direct owned UK dealers ... The 991 turbo and targa are 2014 delivery cars... With showings at Frankfurt

2013 sees 991 gt3, 50th anniversary and ( another) limited edition porsche club car for the 911 variants

In any case, I think they've done a good job of the body, but I'd say the "livery" is odd at best.



Now, it's the usual point of speculation on what they leave off the GT3 in order to make the RS. I'd guess they'll go with arbitrarily "smaller" canards and forego the fender extensions? I wonder if those NACA ducts will be the new visual cue for the RS. Presumably the street wing will be sculpted and bulky like the 997.2 RS. Mirrors … simple caps over the washers … plastic rear and quarter windows ... full cage ... weld plates in the tub ... all the things that don't make it to the sheltered existence of the US driver. Of course we'll all be sliding our finger down the option sheet for "centerlock delete" this time ... we've come a long way since fretting over the sunroof delete for the 997.1 GT3 … : )

And now we are going to ask for the Rescue Hatch option à la Cup.

Actually a few things looking not quite right there. Rear wing, side mirrors and wheel choice is odd. Is this just an artists impression or more?

Those pictures are just photo-shops from the test-mules that've been seen a dozen times. No way the GT3 won't have a big wing.

Wheels look fine to me...it's the jagged ugly rear wing on the GT3 that kills it for me. The 997.1 and .2 wings look so much better.

I agree... thr silver rings look a bit too "muscle-car era", imo. But it's probably a photoshop as mentioned.

I doubt wheels with black centers will be standard; another reason why the silver rims stands out. As others have said, probably photoshopped anyway. Images are obviously from a magazine; which one?
