I like the new wing but the new front lower lip looks aftermarket to me.

I really like the triplane wing. It looks much more developed than the flat RS wing on the 997.1 version. The sidewalls of the rear tires look taller to me so I am think they may have went with 325/30-19s and with the front fenders being wider maybe 265s.

I'll bet they make it by production. This car is likely not fully production specs yet.

Hum. Not different enough to warrant the *** bath one would take on trade or even a private sale of the current RS..........Although if Gulf Blue were offered, I might thoroughly enjoy the bath. What colors would make you want to take a bath?

They are testing 2 RS at the same time, one with PCCB and one without.

Hate what they did with the 997 GT3.2 base and RS models... THey look terrible aesthetically but i'm sure stellar in performance and reworking..

That front bumper on the RS looks terribly cheap and plasticy looking!

i love the black tape over the hood badge, just in case someone thought that porsche would let anybody get away with that much of a direct copy.

Interesting to note that the 2010 GT3 RS appears to benefit from an enlarged "triple" air-ram intake...

Maybe the engine will have more than 435hp.
