For folks who prefer text: https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/bre...e-911-gt3.html

Some highlights:
  • 510 hp
  • front suspension changes to a double wishbone part from the RSR
  • weight remains the same as previous gen
  • 255/35R20 front, 315/30R21s on the back. MPSC2s
  • no nubbin for PDK, shift lever seen in leaked photos are for PDK
  • 7 speed PDK rather than the new 8 speed one
  • 408mm / 380mm steel brakes
  • Touring will get PDK as an option

Few interesting points from the video:

1) the car has heavy camo, he’s happy people are calling it ugly! (spoiler: it won’t be!)
2) the PDK does have the “fake” manual shifter to allow for manual shifting (instead of using the paddles which it also has) like the pre-992 PDKs; don’t worry, a REAL manual will also be available
3) the weight is very close to 991.2 despite being bigger
4) the Nurburgring time is “DEVASTATINGLY QUICK” and some “mouths will be wide open”
5) Porsche’s toughest competition is the prior generation (no surprise there)

Based on the pinstripe it looks like the launch color will be blue.

Shark Blue. You can see hints of it on the door jambs in the print articles: https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/bre...e-911-gt3.html and https://www.motortrend.com/cars/pors...review-photos/

Looks like Cup 2r’s will be the standard tire according to Mototrend.
