I love the look of the new 992GT3 with its menacing aggressive look, especially in Black..It make me wonder how they'll make the 992GT3 RS even more aggressive without going overboard..

The most important feature of this new wing is that the 3rd brake light is not integrated, as things currently stand.
The 991.1 & .2 GT3 wing's aero efficiency was pretty suspect with a huge brake light disrupting the flow across the underside of the wing's surface (flow separation). Note how the brake light creates a dramatic step in the wing's surface profile.
Some have already noted that this wing looks to be a swan neck design, which is all about increasing airflow on the underside of the wing at yaw, aka when you're in a turn and downforce is most critical. Of note, the current 911 RSR runs a swan neck.
Who's ready to learn about swan necks?!
