But I don't think those front fender vents could get any more badass, and are very fitting to the 911's shape. They look good from every angle. Needs to be included in the 'design language' for ever future Porsche GT car.

I don't like the side intakes either - I had some mesh made on my Cayman that matches the front mesh on the aftermarket bumper I'm running - looks the same as the GT3 mesh.
I saw these on the maccarbon website and might have to consider them, but would prefer RSR style covers:

I would have thought they would have finished testing already. Maybe they are just testing the winter tires and wheels.
It's interesting that there is no snow kicked up on the rear fender like there is on the front. Could be they are just driving slow or the winter wheels are tucked in a bit but might have something to do with possibly no rear steer?

That doesn't seem to be the trend. Why would they take a cayenne GTS with a 4.8L NA motor and put in a 3.6 Turbo to eek out 20 more HP over the NA model ? if they do a flat 8, cool. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Don't intend to hold my breath, but I think NA Flat-8 for GT3 and Twin or Quad Turbo Flat-8 for 960 makes plenty of sense. 9A1 is modular and made for 4-cyl (coming soon to 981), 6-cyl, and 8-cyl versions...

I am surprised by some of the comments. AC and radio delete? Hopeless resale. Want to save 40 lbs, go to the gym
Want to save weight in the car, remove the AC components and put them in a safe place.
Anyone who has attended a DE in my region (Rennsport) has seen just how many GT3 RS are used as track cars in the Instructor and advanced group. Dozens of them all running Michelin slicks.
I don't care how it looks, it's all about performance. My 997.2 RS has one option - alcantera sun visors. Why? Because it's easy to remove those awful airbag stickers. Saves 30 grams of weight
