Default Potential Gt3 RS Clue in GT3 Microsite

Hey,

I was browsing the new GT3 microsite, and I came across the car in the back...why in the world would Porsche put a highlighter icon on it. Look at the Rear Wing Size under the cover.....it is a possibility nonetheless.

Maybe? I'm no expert, but the wing plates look pretty big... guessing that's an RSR.

It s there not by coincidence

the message is

next RS is better than last GT3

at rhe end how to make the choice? depends if you are more track or b-roads oriented

What you're saying would only make sense if what's back there is the current RS, which doesn't seem to be.

Also, what makes the new GT3 better than the RS?

An engine with the same displacement that is improved (with new metallurgy, lubrication, etc.), revs to 9K, and nestled inside a car that has better aero.

GT3 does not have the unobtanium crankshaft that's in the RS and the RS has much better aero (downforce), plus carbon and magnesium parts which the GT3 does not.

just direct deposit your wage to their account.
no need to look at any of their promo stuff. its good, rest assured. just sent the money and wait for your turn

I'd do that, but they don't seem to want my money.

You have no idea what crank is in the car.

As long as that easy money is being printed there is too much to go around. 10k is the new 100.
