Nice photos. Perhaps the finished product? Perhaps old pics?

That's definitely it no camo at all on it. Look good to me. Now I just need to see the Spyder.

Anyone here sent a letter of intent to their dealer?

Doesn't the rear wing look overly wide?. I think that they are trying too hard to be able to quote improved downforce numbers. IMHO, the current cars rear end seems much better in comparison.

I agree. I like the 981 GT4 rear much better.

The race car engine is the old tried and test 3.8L with revised intake etc. Somewhat "X51"
The race teams already know they can beat on it for 10k miles +

The street car will get something "fresh". So expect to see different red line and torque etc.
Perhaps a GT3 4.0L with less fancy bits inside and lower redline.

I have to say I am glad that most of the changes are subtle to non existent, because the current GT4 still looks fresh and good to me. The biggest change (from these side view pics) seem to be the wing and the wheels. The wing I like, as it appears to wrap around a bit more the sides, but the wheels I'm not a fan of, even though the change is minor. However, it is just enough to make them appear a lot more like 5 star wheels, whereas the current wheels look more like even spaces spokes. I realize they are not, but the bends on the spokes towards the outer lips are not as smooth on the new wheels, which changes the look IMO. I'm being nitpicky but at first glance I don't like them as much.

New pics of the GT4 at the ring without any camo. I want to say it shouldn't be long now....but I've been saying that for 18 months.

Weird, this is the first time where I haven't been that excited about the looks. Will reserve judgement for release and different colors.

Odd the brakes are painted black in the ring pics. I hope that's not the standard color for production.

wow looks pretty aggressive. I wonder if that's a north american spec. (Amber lights)

I'm stoked to finally hear about this car. Then I can make some purchase decisions.
