On looks alone, I would pay more for the 3 than I would for the RS.

But then, it's never just about looks.

There is just one thing I do not like about the RS, that is those turbo vents. They just are not right for a GT3. Just me. Still a great car to own.

great way quickly compare them visually and in the same color.

Thanks for posting!

IMO the GT3's look is more cohesive than the RS, but both look great in their own right. BTW, Lare, the GT3 looks rhodium and the RS looks GT silver (at least to my eye).

on the left you have a GT3
on the right you can see a turbo
ops an RS but they hadn t sufficient profits
to give buyers a proper rear quarter panels
so they went to stock and found a lot of unsold Turbo ones
Bingo!

Certainly brings out the difference in character between the two. The left exudes a sleek sports car whereas the right screams race car.

Are the RS wheels a darker gunmetal?

Looks a lot more like the RSR than the turbo, which has been running side vents for a while now - generally they're partially restricted due to HP limitations but the RS looks very close to the RSR which brings it more inline with the RS/RSR traditions. I'm a big fan of it and look forward to picking up a 2 RS to match.

The more I look at them, the more I don't like them. Automatically think Cayman and Turbo when seeing them. GT3 has a cleaner look.

An expensive $$$ trade up too.

Although I can be pretty critical of Porsche and sometimes would agree they've used the " parts bin special ", in this case I really do think an NA engine breaths a lot better with this intake system and it's certainly benefitting from this design over the old one. " Function over form " on this one-I agree.
