John: you still have a chance to scoop em with that video. Let's have it....

It's a good thing that they covered the 9k limiter. That'll be the main surprise tomorrow morning. : )

It looks great! Can't wait for the RS.

Looks great except for the seats. Where are the folding GT2 seats?

Some rather ungainly angles in those CGI photos. I presume all that rump is the wide body. Aside from mirrors and RS "under over" air flow through the front bumper cover, there's not much to it. Presumably that means the RS will get the NACA ducts in the front lid (aka hood/bonnet.) and the distinctive engine cover deck lid and wing on uprights to give it the usual points of differentiation.

Well, as ever, all the good bits are hidden under the covers. Specs on the engine, suspension, chassis, geometry, materials, curb weight … then we've got something to think about. Given the likely "you've got to be kidding" price of this GT3, wouldn't it be nice if Porsche forked over some decent advances in the car … I'm thinking along the lines of them taking the carbon composite fenders, hood, etc. from the RS 4.0) and delivering this car under 3000lbs … and a bespoke center console delete and do away with that useless PDK shifter … and put a real manual shifter straight into the transmission tunnel …

Definitely the same body as the C4. My hope is that there is a new racing seat under development that will be released with the car which may not yet be ready ie 918 seat.

Why? NACA ducts have been around on 997 Cup and never made it to the street.

Yes it looks good, but this does not mean that the official launch car will be red.

If the seats are available for sure it will be an $$$ option LOL

Yes the video please :cheers:

I can understand why, it would render the frunk useless for storing anything
I do not see that happening on the RS either

Right. RS has a chance still.

But I do think it looks nice.
Not as nice as the Vantage V8, it's main competitor but a beautiful sporty street car all the same.

So does it look like a wide-body? Or that's not confirmed... ?

LastMezger 03-04-2013 02:50 PM

Looks good.

savyboy 03-04-2013 02:55 PM

Amazing, it looks just like the "spy" photos floating around.

Yawn....

Zzzzzzzzz

DLJ 03-04-2013 02:57 PM

Cool. Can't wait for the show unveiling...

Mike in CA 03-04-2013 02:58 PM

Even the article says: "These photos may show what the 991-based Porsche 911 GT3 will look like--or they may be exquisite renderings of the car. Or possibly both."

The for sure real deal in about 24 hours......
