Default 997.2 GT3RS?

all the signs of the GT3, but they already have that out.. this one has cage and other parts to say GT3RS??

no monolug wheels, but im guessing use of current wheels to help "disguise"?

pics below.

That's supposed to be the next 911 from all of the sources that I've seen. That's the latest mule.

It's just a test mule car guys. They could be testing seats, tires, transmission, cooling for all we know.

no, its not a 991.. clearly a 997.2, some are saying GT2 but i say no cause not turbo... isnt the "new" turbo either cause again, no turbo..

looking at:

rear spoiler before it gets covered,
holes in rear bumper like /GT3 covered
cage inside
wider hips
PCCB's
third radiator
different exhaust

i came to idea that could be new RS?

There are plenty of new RS photos out there. And they don't look like this car. They look like, well, a nearly completed RS.

This is a 998.

then ive got to say im very disappointed.. nothing has changed versus the 997... and the other spy photo's of 998 look 100x better.. the other 98 photo's have much lower roofline.. and much longer car as well.. notice the "scoop" on side above is a sticker so thats not the "turbo"

Riley,

Those are definitely not the RS, they are a standard 997. The RS is below...

Mate,

I dont think the roofline is any lower, its just the rear quarter window surround, and the fake rear wing that makes the roof line appear lower...

You do realize that a relatively early test mule isn't going to be cosmetically correct, right?
