I don't think this is the RS - the wing is the smaller, narrower wing that apparently will be standard on the regular GT3

Definately no RS in the picture, I hope they are right and there will actually be an RS.
Sounds good to me, no PDK, more power works for me, as long as it is no heavier.

pretty sure the current gt3 and rs have 415 hp, not 405 like they say.
i think these guys were fooled by the rs like wing, i think its the gt3.

I agree it's not an RS but regular GT3: narrow body with a much smaller wing.
I like it except the front bumper. The current one looks better IMO.

I think the current GT-3 front bumper is a masterpiece. Awesome looking. Porsche's best ever. I hope they dont change it with the Mk2.

Even the new TT will have PDK, why no for the new GT3?

Anyone?

I think that is a gt3. All except the gt3rs will get the 9A1 w/ available pdk. The rs won't bc it will still have the 'good engine' for homogulation issues in racing, probably very few #s too.

Don't you think both the GT3 and RS will share the new engine 9A1 w/PDK?

I would think so, but I hope that the RS will be extra special this time..

^ I would like an extra special RS too, but my dealer said most likely there will be no RS this time. Just like the 996, only produce once either in mk1 or 2.

Me thinks the current 997 GT3 styling is unbeatable.

My humble opinion of course.(But then again, I thought the same thing about my 86'Carrera)Oh well.

Just goes to show how wrong we can be.
