Yes and this GT3RS rear does look like an inch to 2 taller than the GT3.

Front height looks the same as a GT3 as it is with a 20 inches wheel.

So unless the rear wheels are 20 inches, there is no way it will look as low as the GT3 and this is disappointing

Ride height is only increased by one half of the additional rear tire diameter, unless the ride is further increased to maintain the same wheel well clearance.

That's over 5% change which is beyond abs threshold.

2 pics i took in geneva.. can barely fit a finger, especially at the rear..
I don't think they can drop the car any more than this, mainly because of downforce as well.

REAR:

Hahahaha!! I was so stressed!!

I must say that you bunch are a source of amusement! All of this consternation over the look of the car at standstill:

1. If in fact the overall wheel and tire diameter is 1" bigger than on the GT3 that results in only 1/2" increase in the height of the car off of the ground, hardly enough to change the stance and look overall.

2. The black plastic rear bumper part is exactly the same as on the GT3, i.e. black and plastic. How is this now such an issue on the GT3RS?

I would believe that Porsche engineering has figured out all of the parameters regarding ride height, performance, suspension, handling, abs function, etc., etc., etc.

The car is awesome!!! If you are lucky enough to requisition one just climb in, put it in gear and put your right foot down. I don't think anything discussed here will much matter after that. The car looks like one big satisfying grin to me!!

Please...can anyone confirm or deny the RS at the NY Auto Show this week?

What I found really odd is that when I was configuring my car at the dealer a couple days ago, I noticed that the dealer configurator does not list 'microfibre' as microfibre, just alcantara instead. My SA was also confused when I asked about the difference between the two stating that it's the first time he had heard of 'microfibre'. When I checked on his screen, he was right, just says alcantara and leather and alcantara.
Odd.

I'm going to drinks next to the Porsche stand at 6 pm tomorrow - so will try to confirm then unless we hear earlier from someone else. I'm going to try to make it over there earlier in the day if I can.

Cool thanks Nate

raclaims

Yep I'll be there at 6 as well...two peeps to corroborate each other's story...but I really do not believe it will be there...just the dumb boxster spyder.

Just received confirmation from an extremely reliable source (thanks @itswhitenoise) that no GT4 or GT3RS at the show

is there anybody else also think that Porsche is still finalizing rs specs now?
such as engine maping, output, suspension setting, TCU, PDK-s.

There is no review posted yet. is there any journalist have driven the pre-production rs yet?
I think Chris Harris and others might have driven it. Porsche should be still fine turning the final production rs. Hope we will see a review very soon.

Of course, that makes perfect sense!
