Def GT3...stance, front intake, rear center exhaust etc
Interesting 7 spoke wheels
Too bad no underneath shots...Mezger, 9A1, 6 or 8-cyl ????

+1 I agree! Look more like the turbo because of the wing, Very nice car though! Still not getting rid of my GT3 for that!

I tried to put a deposit down at my dealer in Tampa and they wouldn't take it since I am not one of their customers that buys one (or two) of everything. I am on the list for whatever that is worth.

I think the Turbo's are already past this stage in terms of spy photos. There were even some Turbo Cab spyshots floating around this weekend.

I could be mistaken, but I thought the GT3 (not RS) and Turbo come out within the same MY, historically. I probably am mistaken... or I'm just thinking about the 997.1 (vs the 996, which doesn't match this rule of thumb).

That can't be the right wing.. I think this is still a test mule.

Indeed. That's what I'm assuming, as well. Either that, or we'll have wing options this time.

Though agree, Turbo usually comes before GT series. Isn't the center twin-pipes at the back exclusive to Porsche GT3 model!!

So.. doubt if its a TT shot here.

Indeed. Also, Turbo's have the side intakes.

This one's definitely the GT3. The Turbo's already had its fair share of spyshots, so it's quite different. Turbo Cab spyshots have been floating around this past weekend too.

Looks like the GT3 will be getting some active aero. I wonder if it will be for fuel consumption savings or for more downforce.

If I were waiting for a 991, I wouldn't be disappointed with that car but not feeling the ducktail/blade wing and the 20" wheels are overkill... Its whats under the tail lid that will be of most interestto most here, I'd say...
