2015 Porsche 991 GT3 RS spy photos




If this is in fact the GT3RS then why does it have the side intake scoops like a turbo car, could it be possible the new GT3Rs will have a turbo engine??

11 pictures and details in the gallery

It imitates the 991 RSR induction system which is also using side air vents...

Was there an official 991 time posted? I haven't seen 25 confirmed, though I don't doubt it. RS4.0 was 27, so I would hope the 991RS is deep in the teens with more HP and double the aero.

991 gt3



hell the 991 c2s w/ all the aids on street tires was about the same as a 997 gt3.


BTW Sam, where were you this past weekend? We ran the Long track at MSR. I was looking for you in a Cayenne or Panny loaner! Sorry that was a cheap shot but i couldnt help myself. My respects.

Too funny. That's what's irritating me the most about this car situation, can't go and play outside. Reminds me of my earlier years. Help! PTSD! Somebody?
