Default NEW GT3 RS Pics and Info!

I came across these new photos of the RS with hopefully the real rear wing?! It is also being mentioned that they are going to be offering it in the green and orange of the 1973 RS colors. You can make out the orange rollbar in a couple of the pics as well as some previous pics showing the orange on the front edges and etc. There is also a chance it "may" get a 3.8 flat six to homologate the 2007 GT3 RSR race car. Let's hope!! Now on with the pics....

Note the BB registration, this is Austrian for 'not for export to the United States'

Notice how they try to disguise it by not putting the center caps in the wheels that say GT3. Boy those guys are smart....

Nordschliefe, stop trying to scare us into thinking that the RS will not come to NA

I have a set of german licence plates that were on my Benz of which I did a Euro delivery on and they start with BB. It is not Austrian, the plate is a German plate you can clearly see the D on the first picture. BB stands for Boblingen.

As you know most licence plates in Germany start with the initial or initials of the town the plates were issued. As an example M stands for Munich. In this case BB stands for Boblingen, a town south west of Stuttgart. The plates were issued in Boblingen thats all.

BB has nothing to do with anything but the town it was issued in.

You might not have noticed that Porsche is Austrian owned.

BB, or Böblingen is where PAG takes its cars to be registered when they want to be a little discrete. The TÜV people there don't mind them running odd wheels, for example. Its strictly a rest of world deal.

Is it just me or does the 2 vertical supports in the first pic appear to be bent or something? Almost like they are both bent slightly but BOTH the same direction. Something very odd about that one.

....and so the PS pics begin.......

I dont think its bent out...it looks like the supports for the wing go up, and then angle backward, which might create an illusion in some pictures.
