I hope they are functional but it's not guaranteed. I say this because the bumper cover vents behind the rear wheel arch on a 7.2 GT3/RS are just for looks.

Because its N/A.
BTW I drove my first 991GT3 today. Not on track, but Deacon was kind enough to let me have a run in it up and down the road. Its broken in properly and tracked so I got to hammer it a little.
Damn what a rocket that thing is. For sure faster than a 4.0.
It takes off so hard, its hard to not be impressed but to have fun on the street means losing license fast. Its so hard core. Awesome easy daily comfy cruiser, you may have to flappy it for more quiet comfort, interesting.
Makes me wonder what they can do to make the RS racier except of course lighter and a bit more HP.
I tried full auto I tried manual paddle shifting both and its made me giggle.
Not sure how much manual I would drive it but with the RPM range the choice of gears is a bit bewildering almost.
So the pull from 7K to 9K is just stupid fast, I get that now. Also nothing like Turbo power.
Also much more violent raise in RPM than the 4.0 not due to motor but RPM range shorter gearing and shift speed.
After flappying through the gears for the hell of it on a straight street I put it in D, its in 7th gear and I figure let me roll into it and see if it goes back 1-2-3 or 4 gears down depending on throttle input. Nope BAM 2nd, pulling on the reigns. This was without PDK sport activated. Holy hell...
Than again, I drove my EClass 200HP 2400lb stock 83RS and it was a joy to drive on the track as well, lightness nimbleness that's gone from the comfy GT3's....
Still hate PDK at parking speeds, but OK we're not going to be handing it to the Valet so i'll deal with it.

Anybody an idea where johan9ff took those pictures?
It's clear Porsche wants us to see these (or similar) pictures.

I am really hoping for a "matte orange" color with subtle matte black stripes running in the middle of the car from front to back. I will leave the spoiler carbon and add PORSCHE lettering (matte orange or white) to it. This car will look awesome!!

These pictures are obviously taken right after their venture in snow; which all of us have seen those pictures already. Whomever took these pictures was given access to the garage right after that venture. Thus, Porsche definitely letting pictures leak. Given how late this car is being introduced (due to 991 GT3 recall), Porsche must keep people interested; otherwise, we all would have had Speciale's in our garages by now!!

Very good summary. I had the use of a friends GT3 here in DXB for 10 days and exactly the same thoughts. Very good car and certainly one I would consider if it was a one car fits all. Interesting for me was how the seats affected how I felt about the car. This car did not have buckets and it felt more like a GT car and did not like much. I tried another car on track with buckets and it felt completely different and made me feel more connected and part of car. Exactly the same thing I had with trying the turbo and turbo S - turbo hated due to comfy seats etc, turbo S loved due to race seats (and that engine!). Goodness only knows what the RS with buckets will be like..... gocart I hope!

TRACKCAR, I certainly appreciate and respect your feedback regarding the performance of this car, but I have one problem....this wait for mine is killing me that much more, HELL, mine hasn't even gone into production yet. Once again, more positive comments reassuring the purchase of this BEAST.
