And they're more driver engaging too. Just like the MT.

Spot on! I could not get MT in the RS, so I put a piece of electrical tape over the backup camera to compensate.

Take a look at the air treatment on the floor of the car behind the front wheels.

Good eyes. Looks like Porsche is following the aftermarket demand.

It could be a diffuser part like the 911r has.

That does not look broken. Very regular spacing and shrinking size of the strakes. The jump 991.1 to 991.2 on aero bits, I don't see why 992 would not have that much more incremental aero bits. Can't wait to see the thing.

Here’s the original article:

https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/...-gt3-mitfahrt/

Carbon hood, engine deck lid and wing. Light weight glass, exhaust including OPF 6kg, 408mm steel brakes, 410mm carbon. Double wishbone and interior pretty much as always, but in 992 version. Talks about having 10 more hp even with OPF, but don’t know if that was a statement of the total power or just referring to the OPF. However, AP says that when you don’t have more power then you have to work on aero...

Oh, and for those who wonder, yes, the rear bumper is still with camouflage in this picture and yes there still is some on the swan neck as well. The rest is pretty much how it will look.

There will not be the mad rush to upgrade from 991 GT3 to 992 GT3 this go around. with only 10hp more, the desire and pull may not be there.

The Euro cars have Particulate filters however that decrease power. Does that mean US cars will have 530 HP?

I’m biased because I own a 991.2 GT3, but this sounds underwhelming. Only +10 horsepower accompanied by expensive measures to keep weight the same. Seems the net improvements are limited to better aero, quicker throttle response from the ITBs, and better handling due to the new front wishbones. Meanwhile, the particulate filters may mean a net detriment to sound.

Then there are the looks. More subjective for sure, but I just don’t think either the exterior or interior design is as cohesive or as sporty.
