Yes, 9K RPM is fun. On the street, making more torque starting at around 2500 RPM than the GT3 ever makes is more fun. The GT3 makes less horsepower than the Carrera S until around 5000 RPM.

Add in the spectacular ADM and there’s not much that excites me here.
Goodness. That was hilarious. It’s nice to see the return of the bacon light and Braun shaver fanboys. Jkautz (aka Smiles11) may even rise from the banned perhaps, to defend the honor of the Carrera ?

Come on man. It looks epic, and it will sound even better. “More fun” ? Define fun. They’re all epic cars. And a some don’t have rear seats for the ‘family’.

Configurator should go live at midnight. So there might be some surprises. Just have to wait & see.

The lines show very well
They carved out that big 992 rear so it looks sculpted .. like a 991

Nice. I'd take one in Agate with Satin Darksilver wheels, PDK and 18-ways instead of the buckets. No need for a back seat so that's just fine. I wouldn't pay a dime over MSRP though, and not in line anywhere so there isn't one in my future lol.

Homely I agree with you on hating the ADM which will make this unattainable for us common folk. This thing is going to have incredible presence on the road, though. I think it looks stellar and I LOVE the brake light vs the double hot dog treatment on the carreras...

I would be all over a GT3 with back seats. Part of me got excited at the notion that they would be option. Sadly, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Yes, I know that they are vestigial and of limited utility. It’s not like I even use mine that often, but when called to action, they are useful. For example, this evening, I had to run the kids to Target and just felt like taking the 911. It’s nice to have that option.

I’m not sure what’s wrong with Porsche designers. Have they been hiring from Audi? Such a shame that a great car is this ugly. Less is more sometimes.

That's a nice commercial, but WTH is up with the music being 3x louder than the exhaust sound? I want to hear the exhaust not some lame techno beat or whatever they have playing over the exhaust noise.

The car will have presence and it's stance and profile will be perfect, I'm sure. Just not feeling those nostrils, though.

I also don't like that you're apparently forced to have chrome window trim. There doesn't seem to be an option for black trim.

The 992 GT3 Touring Configurator is up. You can spec black window trim by selecting "Touring Package in Black".

I wish they would just keep the roof rack mounting points as well. Cant imagine it is any significant weight savings and significantly increases the utility to carry bikes/skis etc.

Front end looks weird.

back end looks too wide … like they’re just trying to be wide. That single rear light it already looking dated as everyone is doing it in since 2019.

Touring should have had the ducktail from the winged version. That would have been epic.

oh well … but Porsche will still sell
them all.

^OPF filter as well.

I presume it's on the car.

I guess they had to "upgrade" something also looks wise.. Does that big %ss "clam shell" have any functionality, other than emitting red light when breaking? It doesn't look like it would operate as an additional air intake channel etc (like one could have expected)... I may be wrong though.

I think it looks awesome
