I guess if that's a GT2 or an RS test mule that happens to have been given a turbo body just as a matter of what happened to be available for their purposes, fair enough. I can't imagine Porsche would blow up their model lineage and language by messing around with these elements.
Perhaps the openings in the flanks are just a precaution to facilitate access ... you know ... to spray the flame retardant ... : )

I'm sure I'm in the minority here but I think it looks too much like a Cayman. I much prefer the regular GT3 without the side intakes.

That's a bad thing? New Cayman looks better that 991 to me, almost F430 like in front.

Falling off the chair "Spray fire retardant"

I hope it's just a mule to me it looks wrong. Not sure about this RS. It sort of feels like they've run out of steam. Do not know what to do to improve the GT3. Bit of Aero Chip it a bit. Two fire extinguishes instead of one.

Probably Don't get me wrong, I love the Cayman but I prefer the looks of the regular narrow body cars on the 991. The rear 3/4 view looks too stylized for me.

The indented fuel filler door in interesting. Like the fender is indeed borrowed.

Wide fenders and front track are coming on this car instead of the plastic truck flares seen on previous models. To me, this is the coolest part of the new body, RSR-ish shoulders to match the Turbo hips. The 991 Cup only got add-on extensions.

The car is not terrible.

The wing appears to be a test wing for downforce figures.
I anticipate a more refined final product with nice uprights, pretty end plates and perhaps a carbon banana
