Location of the brake calipers relative to the axles is smart … as low and centrally located as possible both front and rear.

The 992 GT3 will be another outstanding 911.

At least it’s easy to see where the design cues came from....

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..

Agreed. Look at the front fender flares. A step on from the 991 GT3

It's very obviously covered...

This is likely testing a swan neck design and the lower cover is just camouflage. Notice how the wing is mounted from the top.

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?!

I think we can put the turbo or NA speculation to rest.
