Great find. Looks a bit unrefined at back but it could just be a distorted picture. Also I don't see a center brake light in the picture and if it is real it would have one.

That picture was posted in another thread. It's just a rendering. Not an actual photo.

No debate here, it's a confirmed rendering.

This picture from Motor Authority is a lot more credible...

With the 992S showing a fully active rear spoiler which comes up to real high during braking just like the McLaren 720S, I wonder if the new GT3 wing in the picture is fully active. If you look closely at the stanchions which are thicker than just a metal plate, maybe there are cables or rods inside to move the wing up and down? If the regular 992 has active aero, the GT3 can't be that far behind. Maybe Porsche will give the GT3 wing a few angles, and the RS even more angels to distinguish the two models???

I don't think that's an active rear spoiler... and the uprights have a lot of fake cladding on it. It's a "goose neck" hanging spoiler... which in racing gives better performance. They just put all that extra cladding to disguise it.

Another clumsy rear brake light unless this is just a prop

I like GT3 except the childish wing.

everyone knows it doesnt do anything.

That's why Ferrari or Lambo dont have funky wings.

I'm willing to guarantee you that isn't the production 3rd brake light.

Actually Gary you may be on to something. After looking at the high performance variants from the very brands you mentioned, like the FXX, Aventador SVJ, Performante, etc. I couldn’t find a wing ANYWHERE.
