Why they say it will have the same engine is mystery and they don't quote a source. The new wheels look like Dymags.
Seems like a facelift only. Strange to dilute the RS pedigree with a simple facelift. No mention of PDK. I guess if all this is true, current RS owners get to keep their cars, but they don't have the cachet of being the "last" RS bearing the dry sump engine.

That looks so much better without the camouflage on. I think this car will be very successful even with the current market conditions. I also agree that it's the narrow-body GT3 because it doesn't have the plastic lower door sills found on the wide-body cars.

Interesting to me is that the front calipers are not clocked as far the previous steel version

my thoughts are that this picture is of the GT3 in development stages, not the RS....
i think that this car pictured here is merely testing the wheels and body pieces for the new gt3..... thus the same 3.6 is in this particular car and an added RS wing from the parts bin. Car will be crushed once testing is complete....
