Rscocca, Your onto something with the fans, saw this GT3 RS today. Great idea!

Those fans are pulling air in from the engine cover. Maybe they are the GT3's hidden electric turbos!!

Thanks for the correction Paul.

If the fans are pulling air inside, I assume this is to improve engine air intake and not so much for cooling the engine bay.

I think their performance would not be sufficient for this.

Agree but probably pushes some cooler air under all the engine "dressing". Are the air intakes under the bonnet same as other GT3's?

FC-- Complete exhaust Ceramic coated with Swain Tech White lightning, yes it helps.

The fans push air out from under the bonnet when temps reach about 200F and go off at 180F. Ussually I only see thes numbers after coming of the Expressway and come to a stop at a light.
