Now this is somewhat surprising. What is the ground clearance on the lowest part of the vanes? If Porsche marketed this car as a true driver's car, they should've realized this would happen quite a bit.
Not sure, but I'll try and take a pic later in the week.
I don't think they realised, as a good percentage of the early cars came with diffusers damaged coming off the transporter! We're all getting free replacements.
My diffuser also got damaged/scraped from the transport carrier. Not sure if it happened in Germany or over here in USA. At the VPC, it was noted by PORSCHE and when my car was on the lift, the diffuser was the first thing I inspected and sure enough looking from the rear, the left two fins were scraped. My mechanic told me more than likely, he can fit this damaged diffuser from my 911R (when the new arrives) and put it on my GT3RS. I have to wait this spring as both cars are in "hibernation" mode.
Drive safe,

Not sure who the OP is, but these are not leaked 991.2 facelift GT3 photos. I am the original creator of the images and am not affiliated with Porsche in any way.
Exactly! That was my first thought. How does this car with a stock looking front end, without canards, balance out that super wing?
My theory has always been that Porsche designs the aero for the "intended purpose" of the car. Basic car shape creates rear lift the faster you go. A sports car designed for the street as it's primary role does not need rear downforce to take a 120 mph corner, because it is not intended to be driven that way. A race car designed to be on a race track taking high speed corners benefits from rear downforce from the big wing. They don't need to be worried about coefficient of drag and MPG, etc, etc. Many on RL are always quick to point out that one would create a huge imbalance, but I think they are missing the point of the original design. A quick look at any race series would tell you the addition of rear downforce is needed in nearly every car design, if intended to be run on track, taking high speed corners. We are lucky in the 911 world. Comparing the street versions of the 911 to the race versions is pretty easy to do. (unlike a Camry owner and Nascar)

Yup, look at the Viper ACR. Unfair that it's compared to street cars built for track use. That is a pure race car, for the street.

So you're the trouble maker??
Yes, was quoted as fake 6 posts or so after the initial one.
Haha, my apologies, it certainly wasn't my intention to cause too much of a stir, though I must admit the images have gotten much farther than I anticipated.

Nice job and I find it pretty funny. Too many cleaning lady fantasies and wondering who will get first scoop.
I'm sure what you came up with is close.
Now put a small 4.0 on the rear wing. That will cause some drama and excitement.
