GT3 private viewing function tonight. Only 3 people with confirmed GT3 orders from each dealer in Belgium were invited. Jackie Ickx was there plus a bunch of Porsche engineers, etc. Touring package was confirmed at the event by Porsche.

Car was static but was started up and reved. It's sounds different to RS and GT3.1. The exhaust is harder, angrier, nastier. I like it. A lot.

Downforce is proportional to the square of speed, and we know the downforce at 186MPH (485lbs) from the manufacturer.

Thanks Chris. Would be good to get the following details:

- when will it be available to order?
- what differentiates it from a standard GT3 (no wing, rear seats yes/no, suspension tuning, option limitations, sound proofing material, other?)
- what will it be badged on the back? GT3? GT3 Touring? Something else?
- available all regions yes/no?

Details on the above would be awesome!

Also, is there an added cost for this in the classic "less is more $" Porsche model?
