I'm willing to bet that when we see the final undisguised GT3 we're all going to want one. Quite simply Porsche don't go backwards whilst AP is the boss. I like the fact the effort they've gone to make it weigh the same 1430KG as the 991.2GT3. This is particularly impressive when the 992S PDK has bloated to 1515Kg.
CF bonnet, bigger brakes, wheels, tyres etc will probably reflect in a substantial hike in list price.

I thought we might see shark blue tonight.
A few more sleeps then before the real one.
Seems it will be more than we expect money wise, it's a RS with less drag and double wishbone front end with a RS beating time to match.
Seems he was very happy we all called it ugly and it will be stunning :-)
That’s the touring option gone to pot again lol

Nice
This is the key exciting thing for me.Nice
How do they sort the suspension pickup points I wonder. And will the damper still bolt into the old strut towers or perhaps sit between the wishbones in a more traditional layout. Who’s seen in an RSR to know?

If rumours are correct, RS is around 240k, without WP.
GT3 - take a guess , 190k.
Blistering around the ring apparently.
Inflation blended with price hike. I think the touring in subtle colour will be lovely. Having said that I'd still take the speed yellow 996 GT3 with 20k miles in the classifieds GT3 - take a guess , 190k.

I would imagine that the chasis will be a modification to the existing 992 chasis as opposed to a complete front end re-design. If so the damper will locate in the same place.How do they sort the suspension pickup points I wonder.

Its good to see a 911 finally getting a double wishbone front end - although it probably wont make any descernable difference on the road. Despite what we all are probably about to read in the motoring press

Great video and just loved that GT collection
Yes, it's quite low key really isn't it? If you saw the place you'd be forgiven for not knowing it was 'factory' owned. It sounds like, until, now, it's been a bit secret.Also, it seems clear thaty AP read the forums on here about the rear PU (lack of) styling.
