Looks great. Thanks for posting. Hope I get to see one in person. I RARELY even see a regular GT3.

Cool images but I think they might just be photoshopped. There is no link to an actual patent (like when people dig up new apple patents) and what in those images is patentable anyway? A double bubble roof? A really big spoiler? And why would an RS have ducts on the rear fenders?

You can patent an overall design. It's akin to the concept of trade dress from the world of trademarks.

It looks like a guess, based on rumors. I just cant see Porsche using Turbo holes for the RS. Those holes and this is all just MY opinion, are said to go to the engine. The turbo holes are too far forward to be accessible to the motor. Remember Porsche moves up the intercoolers to that part of the fenders.
I dont see Porsche copying the turbo holes for a GT3 when they are going to make a GT2.

Makes it sound like the tranny didn't pass the sixth grade.

Talking about pricing, wonder if they will start off at around the cost of the Turbo like in past models?
