Probably easier with a gtr as it essentially hasn't changed since inception.. But really, how clueless are these girls?

the RS is not really a beauty queen, but maybe a desirable brute....:::
)) i still cannot decide whether GT3 (RS) are ugly or - in a strange way - attractive. anyway, they are purposeful machines and better leave it at that. who cares when they go fast around the ring?

ps: my wife just asked me to swap our 458italia for the RS...she says it looks better than the speciale. OMG::))

I'll need the .1 RS black decals of course, she's no fool "Baby, it's the same car". Just kidding, only a Troglodyte would slide a $200K car past their spouse, no one here.

I am assuming that Porsche has CG models of their cars from which they create advertising illustrations like some of the ones we've seen of the GT3 on the track (see photo 1 for example).
Looking at the photo of the GT3 RS on the box (photo 2) behind the model on SuperDarius's recently posted Instagram pics, I noticed the background seems very familiar. It looks like the same setting that the GT3 (and other Porsche cars) appears in!
So this leads me to believe that the photo on the box may be an official PAG picture of the GT3 RS, as opposed to a staged photo of the model car. Notice the front license plate holder is "3D" in the photo, compared to a 2D sticker on the model (photo 3). Also the lights look different, etc. Also, the rotating wheels look fairly dynamic, unlike what a model would do.
If that's the case, then this could be the first (albeit grainy, low res) official image of the GT3 RS!
Any thoughts? Does anyone know more about how Porsche creates these images (for example, are they CG models, or could they actually be heavily edited photos instead)?

Rumor on another forum that there may be a purple color option as well as the orange. Haven't heard that from my source because color never came up in discussion. Anyone else hearing similar?
