The last part got me thinking though:
So, we don't know exactly what we're looking at here, but it's interesting for sure. And given the tendencies of Porsche's GT road car department, we know it won't simply be a GT3 without a rear wing.

No cost options and GT works surprises are mutually exclusive.

why?
because it has the silver frame around the windows seen ont he 50th anniversary edition or other more stylish and less GT oriented cars
also my sources still claim no touring package will come
hence my conclusion, its another limited special edition car
i rest my case :-)

For all the reasons above, plus just doesn't make logical sense they would offer this in the gt3 line. I believe the silver window frames are a huge tell ala 50th anniversary 991, sport classic, etc. it'll be a special run car... I really hope I'm wrong here, but just doesn't seem to add up my $.02

BTW, Historically, the Sport Classic is just a nicely optioned Carreras S. It is not, and never will be, a GT3 based car. The Touring name has a much greater connection to the RS.

Hi PantsFire, a genuine question as there is a bit of active debate around the impact and why the GT market is so hot atm. Given your personal preference for rear seats, PDK for daily driving rather then track times, why your preference for a GT3 rather then perhaps a Turbo, a GTS, a 4S optioned up etc.. The GTS is near on a quick as the last generation GT3 if not quicker, has no rear wing and for the price, you could probably option it up (PTS, interior etc) so much better..
Market / Perception of the GT3 ?
Naturally aspirated engine ?
Perception that GT cars go up in value ?
Other ?
Not questioning your personal choice at all, but as I said genuine interest as this hype around the GT cars is as high as I have ever seen it and intrigued as to why.

That said, I'm really loving the turbo. With an exhaust I might prefer it to my theoretical GT3/GTS mixup. It's far more playful than I expected, and at 7000' density altitude the NA motors are down around 25% on power so it's enough of a drop to diminish the experience.

As reported before, unless 3 people who work for Porsche that I spoke to at a private unveiling of th GT3 I attended in March are wrong....which I doubt.... it is just an option spec on the GT3. Just like the Clubsport is just an option spec on the GT3. Anyway, you will all know on Sept 11.
