What happened to the Porsche graphics department? Looks like VW has taken it over. That checkered flag motif is right off the Golf R32 !

I will be ordering mine sans graphics.

GT3's are AWD and RS's are RWD correct? so why not just put the widebody front fenders on?
Bothe GT3 and GT3RS are RWD.

Graphics better have a factory delete option.

I hope you can get it without the lipstick and boy-racer stickers... what was Porsche thinking?

Thanks for posting

I don't like this car at all... The "normal" GT3 looks better, cleaner...

And the 997.1 GT3 and GT3 RS look way better than the 997.2 versions

Default OK I will say what your afraid to say...

are you serious? This is the saddest rendition of any 011 variant yet.... line this car up next to a Nizmo 350s, and subi WRX STI, a Neon SRT and it will be right at home. I am sorry, nothing refined here, cheesey colors, color matched grills...... my god those graphics? Would you really feel refined, proud of heritage, etc (not my take but the cheers I hear so often on rants/debates...) pulling up in a P car that looks like it got chased down and beat to hell by an angry mob of clowns....

I am sick..... take this car in a flat color, maybe black accents and sure it could look great but these pics do nothing, nada, zero for me.... I would feel like an atention begging ***** driving this car in my neighborhood....would be the stand out at any imports night maybe but foolish lined up against other supercars in this $ range....

Bad.....

There was a time when Porsche racing cars looked a lot like the new RS w/ similar graphics. Whether you consider it a hit or a miss, Porsche was trying to distinguish the RS from the GT3 by giving it a tarted up semi race car look. Times and tastes change and now the in crowd want to drive cars only painted in primer.

I think Porsche "tarted" the RS up so that the RS owner will be sure to let everyone know its an RS. Which is important to the RS owner, I guess.

I'm not feeling the wing support. It looks like an afterthought. Maybe if you paint it body color?

It's gonna take some getting used to. I'll make up my mind when I see it in person. Not buying one, so I guess my opinion doesn't matter anyway.

I agree that these decals are a bit boy racer. I almost expected to see a "NOS" sticker on it. ...Maybe they look better IRL.
