Yea but... it's an online car forum, and cars don't have feelings. This is where opinions are meant to be expressed. We won't tell

That car is still very heavily camo'd.....Porsche is great at marketing....front and rear are way to choppy....it's coming along though.....

Comments above seem favorable. I tend to disagree, but will allow that these are still not released photos. Waiting - and hoping - the final version looks a LOT better...

Agree the wing is final spec. Looks just like the factory race car.

I prefer the old wing, but I think the new one will look better over time.

Like the diffuser, hate the big rear light bar, and most of the rear.
I’m sure I’ll also hate the interior because they’ll just add alcantara and a new shifter, but otherwise will just be the same digital, awkward 992 interior.

Front might be alright. S ducts add downforce and a race look, though I hope you can still fit two rollerboard suitcases in the frunk.

I just hope that's not the case, the 'wanna-be-Senna' rear wing look doesn't sit well with me (nor the lines of the car in general). Personal opinion of course, but if this is indeed final, glad there will be a Touring variant...

Evo gets in on the act - at least they got the ducts purpose correct!

The looks always grow on us, it's the technical specs which need to be very very impressive to somehow beat the base cars which are now so so capable. You can now get RWS and wide hips as standard as well as many of the other goodies in the normal cars... they will have to included some truly transformative handling solutions to the GT cars for people to say "this FEELS significantly different".

Agreed. You would think it would be more effective and would look much better if it were hanging further back on the car like the RSR, but there's a good reason as to why it's where it is. Never was a fan of the 21" rear wheel concept either.

This will be the first GT3 that will have to grow on me. I like it, but don't love it yet.

Thus far I’m a pass on this generation. My neighbor has a loaded 4S it looks like a Panamera to me with 2 doors. Will have to see the RS if that perks me up. Never been a fan it has to grow on me.

Tip toeing forward, which is the Porsche way. Good enough for base GT3 but let's hope they take big leaps with the RS. Just slap plates on one of these - done:
