One rear-end the GT3-mafiosi will want to see...

The waiting game starts.

Its early days yet and that can only be a test module, but jeez the proportions are all over the place. It looks like a Cayman.

We shall see.

Ooooh - that slipped out way too soon! New GT cars!

Basically anyone owning a GT car is now doomed and they'll all depreciate by 96% in the next month and are suddenly worthless.

Bring out the Kraken! The world is ending!!

(Sorry, got carried away with the anticipated threads which will form on the topic)

Looks much the same as the 991 aero kit rear end shot we saw a few months ago, to me.

The centrally exiting exhausts are a clue though.

Hardly. Looks like a big dog has bitten the bumper.

Something's wrong here:



Wierd proportions. Imagine they'll get it right for the finished article though. Can't wait to see the real thing. Wonder what the inevitable 'ring laptime will be... 7:20? 7:25?

550hp - check
1100kg - check
PDK-S Doppelganger gearbox - check
7:15 Ring time - check
Dreaming - check.

I expect the 991 GT3 will have a price tag of circa £110, so current GT3's will be at least £65k.

I dont understand why Porsche dont put a proper spoiler on the GT3, should be possible tp have one like the 997 RS gen 1 on the car and give the RS something like the gen 2 RS. same on the 996 and 997, just looks like a half hearted effort imo

Edit: I think it makes the car look unbalanced and I hope that the wider one would give significantly more downforce.

PDK + GT3 = awesome.

[David Hype]

It looks too long. Too much overhang front and rear for me, but I should imgine that this is early days yet.

[cragswinter]

I wouldn't worry too much about it's looks just yet! Can you really get a good idea of what any black car with black wheels looks like from a distance?!

+ I think seeing as it's at the very least a year away from being unveiled things may change quite a bit.
