Spy Pics Reveal Porsche 911 R Successor?

[Phooey]

This could be what DrS reported a while ago - touring? No mag roof, PCCB's or Clubsport so basically a GT3 without the wing. I reckon it'll be a slightly detuned 4.0 (475hp) or a 3.8. Interesting.

Thanks for the pic. That's what I was hopeing for. Let's see whether this will be a Touring option offered on the manual GT3

[Chris Stott]

Needs a ducktail.

[GarageQueen]

wow! no smoke with fire then, touring spec it could be! will be very interesting to see how its offered

[Cheib]

Interesting!

They are presumably also doing a 991 run out model like the 997 Sport Classic so maybe this could be something like that ? Although the Porsche Exclusive models are normally based on Carrera's aren't they.

This could be a carrera, but just with the gt3 bodykit. Its even missing the ram air scoops which I thought were essential for the engine - which might mean this car doesnt have the gt3 engine.

Good spot but it doesn't have the vents in the corner of the rear apron that the Turbocharged 991.2 Carrera's have so presumably this is a naturally aspirated engine? The good news about that is that a duck tail could be fitted!

[Phooey]

No rear seats in the pic but I wonder if it'll be a 4-seater model with rear seat delete

[Twinfan]

Very likely one of several Porsche Exclusive models due out this year. 991.2 GT3 front spoiler for sure and the same exhaust exit locations.
I'd say it's a NASP engine and probably the '911 Touring' model that's been rumoured.

It's the engine that's in it that'll prove interesting to me as it could be the same (or similar) to the next GT4...

Christ how many slices can they get from the 911 cake? Seems to be a new version for every micro change...

One cup holder, oh that'll be the 911 1CH
Two - hmmm definitely a 911 2CH Although it did have PCCM so it must be a 911 2CH R

If there are enough fat kids wanting a slice, they'll keep baking..;)

Apperently they only come into effect at high speed giving another 20hp so not really needed in a road car

That would be the new flat4 turbo then !

[Twinfan]

Nah, it'll be NA in this and the GT4. Porsche will cater for the enthusiast I reckon.

[Paracetamol]

I would buy a gt3 with no rear wing and with the option to remove/ install back seats tomorrow if such a car was launched.

Especially if its not built in mass numbers (Not limited!)

Yep, ideal touring spec for me would be GT3 drivetrain, 4 seats (w. folding buckets) and a ducktail! A nice unique colour would be great too...

+CWM/GT silver / GR , satin platinum or satin alloy wheels (depending on colour),manual !
Not to worried if they detune the engine as long as it's the same 2017 gt3 engine and circa 475hp!

Total 911 saying this is a 991 Sport Classic mule
