u do know COLOR is everything. we dont care about handling or hp.

i am glad they intro green... one less confusion for me. i tried to like green, had 4 997RS frogs sold them at 1/2 of what they are worth today.... it made my nearsightedness worse.

ok, lets see some pictures....

This is front splitter from new GT3 RS !?

Seems that it's too wide from the sides!

Looks like the front splitter will be easy to retro fit to a .2 GT3 (Non RS).

A bit disappointed with just 20 more HP, not gonna lie.

Best Regards,
Dave

true, 20hp might not sound a lot but w/ lightweightness added and aero magic...should be a hoot

It's seems "plug & play" to GT3/Touring besides it's too wide from the sides.
But from where he got it,the new RS is not even presented yet?

It's always more than a sum of the parts. 20hp but with more torque, more overrev, maybe slightly different gearing could change the car significantly.

Not many opportunities to take out weight beyond what was done for the .1 RS that wouldn't be cost prohibitive. They'll emphasis things like aero and suspension tweaks and added midrange torque. Evolutionary stuff.

Agreed, but with the new 'norm' now 600+ (let alone, let 700hp)... 520 is tough on the straight aways.

I was hoping for 550 to be a meaningful upgrade.

No doubt the car will be AWESOME, but not sure I'll be pushing for an upgrade from my .2 manual...

Dave

Incrementalism is SOP for Porsche. Good numbers for .1 RS owners, lol. Get a PTS .1 while they're cheap!

It's almost certainly not going to be dropping a lot of weight either....

Manager of the dealership told me no PTS quite clearly. Maybe some VVIPs where Porsche make an exception, but he said no PTS for anyone. Just relaying what I was told.
