Default New 991.2 GT3 spotted today in Austria

Saw a brand new Jet Black 991.2 GT3 today in Austria... The car is from Munich.

Car looks GREAT! For some reason it looks slightly more sleek/streamlined than the GT3.1... maybe it's just because the spoiler sits further back. This one has the lightweight buckets and roll bar. The wheels with red edges look better in person than they do in photos, in my opinion. Seems to sit a little lower that my US-spec 991.1 GT3... Maybe European cars have a slightly lower ride height than US-spec cars.... (??)

Love the more pronounced air scoops on the front bumper and rear deck... They look very racy.

Fantastic looking car, exciting to see one in the flesh!

I'm not a fan of red but damn that looks great! Makes me want to remove my wrap and dip the rims and remove the dip from the calipers. My car would look identical but no red stripe in the inside since the .1 had no red stripe on the seat

Hmmm tempting

This looks great! I almost bought a black .1 but backed out at the last moment. Still, they look great.

Everyone should own at least one black car, even if it's just to realize how easy other colors are to maintain. I loved my basalt black gt3, looked absolutely striking but really hard to resist constant cleaning/polishing/clay bar etc if slightly OCD
Going to the other extreme this time with white for the .2, hope there's no regrets as I plan to keep this one for a long time as well

The red trim around the wheel enhances the look of the car significantly. It breaks up the all black look which otherwise would be meh.

Hey, I have a jet black GT3 .1. I want to tell the Rennlisters a lot more about how great this color is...but I have to keep from doing so...my arms are just
too tired to continue writing from all the washing and drying.

At the dealer the day I picked it up.

My first Porsche was Basalt Metallic Black back in 2006. I am going JMB with Satin Aluminum wheels and PCCBs for this one. People complain about keeping black clean???- I will never buy another White Porsche- harder to keep clean than Black.

Jimmy don't say that, I was hoping for an easier run with the next one, it was the swirls in certain light that bugged me so much - car always looked great though and got heaps of positive comments

My 2015 GT3 is Basalt Black. Love it, and don't mind the extra elbow grease to keep her looking lovely... And my how lovely black looks when it is clean... A visual reward for the work that makes it all worth it.
