Default Porsche 991 GT3 with no wing

Stealth GT3?



From the article:
One of the most important defining features of a GT3 Porsche is the large wing at the back. But there is a new trend going on in which the owner opt for deleting that wing, turning their Porsche 991 GT3 into something that can only be described as a Carrera with a bad genetic mutation.

There was a post like a year ago about a guy in Los Angeles that did this. There were even pictures on here. Needless to say, it didn't go over very well with this crowd

There are 3-4 of them that have been floating around for some time done by owners and I think one was done on special request at factory....now everyone thinks they are factory 911R test mules?

I was told that the wing was functional, not true?

I think a lower duck tail type thing could look very nice in place of the GT3 tracker style wing... 991R???

With a ducktail, it would probably look pretty amazing.

Yes, the massive f**king wing is functional. But, a tad unnecessary when driven on the street.

not so sure
i think a better analogy is that a gt3/rs on the street is like a tiny skinny woman with huge fake *****
without wing, more proportional and natural

LOL... I see your point, but I just feel the wing on a GT3/RS is an intrinsic part of it's heritage.

I do think a GT3 without a wing is not a GT3 design wise. Performance wise I agree street driving with that wing is probably overkill. Now it is the owner's money so he can do whatever he wants. I wouldn't. One reason I would buy a GT3 is its styling and racing pedigree and that wing is part of it.

Considering the insignificant amount of downforce the standard OEM GT3 Wing makes, I would doubt that removing it would ever be noticeable by the driver.
It would obviously give a far clearer view through the rear window. So it boils down to considering it as a design element only.
