It'll be interesting to see how well the GT3 is received now it is using a 'regular' 911 engine.
On a sidenote, how fabulous does this look-

Presumably a regular 911 body hiding the GT3's running gear.

The GT3 is rumoured to be called 'RS', harping back to the air cooled days. There will most likely be a road based and track based version of that car. Perhaps RS Touring and RS Clubsport?
.
Porsche have a lot of investment in the GT3 name, I suppose Kia could pinch it if it is not being used .
In the same vein , heard mention that BMW may be dropping the M3 name in favour of M4.

It's been around for years now that BMW would keep the 3 saloon/touring but move the coupe/cab to 4 (as per the 5 saloon/touring and 6 coupe/cab and also Audi moving the 'A4 coupe' up to the A5). I think I heard this talk when the e9x series was due to break cover.It makes marketing / commercial / pricing sense if the coupe/cab model appears to be upmarket and you can charge more for it - but it would mean that an M3 coupe would be an M4. And BMW seem to be very nervous about messing with the iconic "M3" badge.

997 line up was - c2, c4, c2s, c4s, c2 cab, c4 cab, c2s cab, c4s cab, targa, gts, gt3, gt3 rs, gt3 rs 4.0, sport classic, gt2, gt2 rs, turbo, turbo cab, turbo s, turbo s cab, cup, super cup, etc, etc plus the black series
But who cares how many variants they have, they will all be epic and none of us will have one! That new rear wing doesn't work for me. I can only hope that it's something more akin to the curvier wing that came with the artists impression in Evo this month.
Also I'm not sure how these wings will look with the longer wheelbase of the new car. They could look a little awkward. I'm sure the car will drive well. But owners have to be turned on by the way their cars look aswell.

Isn' tit !Another 911, and an other, and an other... (14,900+ versions I read)
Each one looking just like the previous old thing, but always announced as "the NEW 911".
Gosh the moulds must be worn out by now!
Of course Porsche can go on making their 911 (on and on, like Morgan...),
but Morgan doesn't talk about a NEW model when they change the shape of their rear wing... err, I mean their door handle.
