Now that looks good! Better than the 997 Turbo pictures as of late!

Is that the same wing as the aerokit, somehow it looks much better?

Yea, I do not like the wing on the 997S but on this GT3 it looks great! Could it be more to do with the color of the wing or that I just don't like it on the Club Coupe that I saw it on...

Thanks for the link Lewis -

It must be the angle of the photograph. But what is the black part on the hood just below the wing?

Vent for cooling for the engine...

funny how most folks trashed the 997 areo kit... now people love it on a gt3???? hmmmm i remember saying folks will love the areo kit once it comes out on the gt3.... but i guess thats why the engineers at porsche are always ahead of the crowd//

The rear spoiler looks too much like the Mk1 rear spoiler on the 99 Cup cars/Aerokits.

I think I'll pass.

This car has been photoshopped guys.
The front lip is white in this pic but the front pic shows it in red.
The rear bumper has a grey tinge to it and the piece underneath the wing doesnt match.
The whole thing looks fishy.
