Default 4.0 at the 'Ring

"Stood at the mini-karussell, listening to the different cars approaching, I could hear something special climbing through the Klostertal. It was high-pitched and smooth, a Porsche for sure. As it got closer I didn't believe it was a road car, I was expecting to see a GT3.R race car... then the new 4.0-litre, 500bhp GT3.RS arrived. What a noise!

The model itself isn't exactly 'news', but I thought it would bring joy to the hearts of Porsche fans everywhere to see this machine at the limit. It was also being chased by a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, though if either car was faster, I couldn't see the difference."

Oh my. Looks so awesome. Notice the sensors and transmitter antenna for data/telemetry. Wonder if Porsche is still tweaking the chassis spec?
