My take on this is that Porsche are clearing a space for the September release in Paris of the 991 GT3RS.

Embarrassed?! Let's see; awarded 2014 World Performance Car, Evo Car of the Year 2013, Top Gear car of the year 2013 with Richard Hammond declaring it "the best car ever invented", Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe calling it "the world's best sports car" and the list goes on and on. Not to mention that everyone on this forum that has actually driven one thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. The only companies that should be embarrassed are it's competitors that have to charge twice as much to compete with the GT3.

I'm sure that they just borrowed Mike Flewitt's GT3.

Found one! Blue one in the Supercar Car Park. Blue with black wheels, PCCBs and LEDs looks pretty awesome.

Outside the event doesn't count

Although the driver was no doubt happy to have PDK in the traffic after - took me 1.5 hours to get out of 1st gear! Will have to arrange for a heli next time.
