The rear of this car is taken from a GT3. The rear curvature of a wide (turbo) body (which for sure will be the basis for an RS, regardless of the vent being there or not), is more flat on top. Just take a look at picture of a Turbo from the same angle. Obviously the picture gives away as being photoshopped by noting the inconsistent appearance of a GT3 sticker on right front fender!

Once i see the car in the flesh I will have a better conclusion on them...

No offense, but I'd take them over the red stickers, wheels and fishlips of the .2 RS. Age hasn't improved it either.

I see a lot of discussions about RS vs GT3 and whether the RS will be okay as, not necessarily a daily, but a comfortable street ride. IMO, clearly, none of the RS versions have become anyone's daily driver. Porsche's philosophy around RS is to make it a reasonable street car with keeping in mind that most owners end up tracking the car and expecting it to easily compete with "lower class race prepped" cars on the track as well as giving a run for the money of Speciale (Scud, CS) owners of the world (I am a CS owner.) In the end, it's definitely not a "race car" given the weight of the car (yes, >3000 lb is a heavy car for racing) but it's damn close to it. I am sold on it (and the concept), including those vents and the large wing...

I only live 10 miles from work in smooth South Florida but I drove all of them as daily drivers, IMHO if the road is not too bad, I see no downside to daily driving an RS, except for the submarine effect in Thunderstorms...

I personally don't find the ride harsh; all my cars are lowered with coil overs and larger wheels anyways. But, I don't drive all of them as daily drivers. I don't see a point in driving an RS in traffic...They are definitely awesome "weekend in the twisties" car out here in Northern Cali.

Guys here s my meeting outcome
no kers no turbo ...
500hp @8250 rpm
460mm @6250 rpm
indeed 4.0l and RWS
and keep calm if you can 2.8 kg/hp (3.5kg/hp GT4)
ergo 1400kg
fwheels 20 265mm rwheels 21 325mm
so 40mm wider
front air cuts to avoid air lift
rear wheel air intaker turbo like to
this the best to have a turbo effect on injection system
like it was turbo but indeed no turbo lag no turbo at all
just air compressed more and more faster you go
so expect 525 +hp at 200mph (good right for nurburgring to steal seconds marketing dept happy jurnos too but in dd or short tracks no effect)
that s all

Thanks fxz. I think you mean the rear fender vents create a ram effect to the intake mechanism. This is needed due to teh lack of a rear breathing grill and rear ram air intake under the rear lid on the 991 GT3. Unfortunately it doesnt add 25bhp at 200 mph just as it doesnt add any real power on the GT3 or the new GT4 which also has the same design, but its a nice idea ;-)
