That .1 RS hood underside is a great design! Clean lines and the visual lines of the cross beams actually carry through. Beautiful.
Wonder if rain water or washing water, rocks and leaves or insects can penetrate the openings on the hood of the .2 RS. Do they simply flow down to cool the brakes?
The elevated fins on the fenders flare up and out. I like the flush fins on the .1 RS. Is elevating the fins just a design element like the fins on the intakes? Do they create more turbulence in a wind tunnel? How does the RAM effect on the side intakes perform with that turbulence? Many Questions.

Thanks for the terrific pictures. I love the LG and the LG trim on the wheels. Definitely will order the car with these spec's. But I refuse to get PCCB's.

Great Pics!

The pics with the dudes sticking their paws into the ducts
and the following pictures of men crawling sideways thru the car
reminds me of how a bunch of house cats would explore
every nook & cranny.

WazRS great job with so many pixs , hoped u took a lunch break
The dashed redline starts at the same spot 8500 RPM on.1 RS and .2 RS. The hard redline is at 8800 RPM on .1 RS. Wonder if that is also a marketing gimmick. Who knows. These guys at Porsche are really not going to tell us everything that goes on, are they?

That is one mean looking car, especially in the lizard green. Thanks for sharing. I wonder if the titanium exhaust will change the sound of the engine compared with the .2 GT3..?

We need a new formula for the brake cleaner.

Welcome everyone! My pleasure to have been there and no.. i didn't take any lunch break, they had to pull me out of the stand!

Very eager to find out how this car sounds, performs and behave versus the ./GT3.2 and 1RS and i'm sure by the time it shows its true colors inside, we will all be convinced PAG did it right!
