Thanks for sharing, OP. Very cool shot of two beauties.

But then, it's never just about looks.

I agree.

I thought the same.

+1 - people seem to have forgotten what they've been running on the last 2 generations of RSRs. 997 was more often seen with open intakes, 991 they were forced to restrict them to comply with hp limits in the WEC. If it's what Porsche runs at LeMans on the 911 for at least the last 4 years, it seems like it's been pretty thoroughly tested.

I think the function idea behind the turbo intakes is correct. Just wished Porsche had styled them a little differently on the RS to avoid that parts bin look.

They look a lot better with mesh inserted in them - matching the mesh on the bumper intakes. I might also do the techart carbon fiber inserts as well, but want to see what else is out there.

Nice pic, interesting to see the design delta.

Now...

Cant wait to see how the RS perform vs the normal 3... Lots of "race oriented stuff" but lets see the real benefits...

Hopefully somebody will publish a review à la Head to Head !

Agree with comments on GT3 looking more cohesive
To my eyes, the GT3 looks MUCH better....not as busy
RS vents look terrible to me and the 21" rear wheel gives it dune buggy ride height

To each his own....


Awesome photo, thanks for sharing

To me, the RS looks more like a toy. Or something a crazy aftermarket tuner got hold of.

Are you implying there's a difference?

+1 I was trying to figure out what I didn't like about the RS and you nailed it; too many doo-dads, double bubble roof, intakes front and rear. Over done.

Great photos
