So whats a GT3 RS vs GT3 RSR vs GT3 R?

I guess its Porsche's typical marketing strategy... the "Letter Delete" option costs more money???

Yeah, and where is its intake? I don't see scoops in the rear fenders of do I see anything protruding from the decklid.

RSR is GTLM spec
R is GT3 spec
Different series, different spec. It'll be interesting to compare when Tudor has full GT3 and GTLM Porsches.

I saw louvers in the decklid.

beast mode.
probably going to be an amazing car other than the number of retubs those things will see.
whta exactly is the upside to the new 991 tub/chassis wih the bonding which seems to really drive the costs of rebuilds, etc.
is there a benefit to that bonded frame?

sounds like a test of the traction control, it works!

Considering the 996GT3R and 997GT3R were out of my reach (and still are) I can only dream of this car......

The sound is incredible!!

Longer wheelbase, wider track, longitudinally and torsionally stiffer, and still 70lbs lighter vs 997 tub. Nothing but upside until you whack something.
