I am a bit relieved the car looks like that. Now I don't feel compelled to sell my current RS for the upgrade. If I did, the better value would be a lightly used RS.2 for $50K less that what the 4.0 is likely to cost or just wait a few years for the 991 version.

Me thinks, that's the final car. If you look at Porsche's pix the last couple of years, they all have that rendered feel/look.

I wonder if we'll get those cool seats in the US (they sit much lower too than the folding buckets currently available for the RS3.8).

Well I can still dream that it's photoshopped.. : (

These look like the std lightweight backet seats -10kg lighter than the sport bucket seats / no airbags and with a new 4.0 logo, the 3.8RS ones were identical and as an option here for the GT3/ RS but with a flame - retardant fabric..

I agree that these are the same seats as available in Europe with the 3.8RS, but we never get those seats in the US (except with the Carrera GT for some reason).

looks so blah. I was soooo hoping for the leaked image to look like Johnny V's avatar



Now that would have been worth the wait.

Collectable, but where is the beef other than a great engine?

I was expecting the car to be a little more aggressive looking. Maybe a little more fender flares like the Cups.

Remove the stickers and it looks identical to 3.8 RS...

I really hope at least they shed some weight off the 3.8 RS to make it worth the price difference.
