Default 991 GT3RS Video - Looks great - Sounds Awesome PDK only

Check this out guys.

Not a fan off teh rear end profile but the side oprofile looks great. Sounds loud and goes like a scalded cat. PDK, cage and bucket seats. Dont expect much of a power rise but the thing looks the part. Lucky owners will be happpy...

Ok just saw it. I'm sure scoops are for specific cooling. We will find out soon

Thanks for that video link. The car looks essentially ready, but I suspect a larger wing on the final version. Best looking variant of the 911 by far.

I'm guessing a larger wing for sure. I also wonder if at this point we're not seeing more or less generic TT bodywork and those side scoops won't make it to the final product.

I think the side vents will make it to production. I also think this car will be shown next month.

That thing looks like it has some pace!

And looks pretty mean in black.

I think possible unveiling Sept. Bigger wing and different wheels for sure. Maybe some graphics and a Leary paint job too. Im not sure if it will keep the vends but Im guessing so (maybe they have a screw over plate to cover them like on the RSR 991?). I dont see big engine HP jump here - more a taunter slightly lighter and more aggressively sprung/suspension 991 GT3.

Once this thing is reviewed on track there will be no going back to MT.

+1. On this car is looks quite "production" to me.

Maybe both to the engine and brakes reducing drag and created better ram effect? It would indicate e little more power.

Yeah, special colors and no idiot decals please.
Lets get back the Gt2RS and .1RS decals. Maybe even the 4.0 like decals. Did not mind those..

OEM martini color like 918 would work for me :-)
