GT3 Cab

[Gitana991]

There were rumours it might be revealed this week?

I do hope not

I’ve seen the spy shots as much as everyone else but were they not just test mules for the Speedster?

I can’t see the point in a GT3 cabriolet (well I can as but bare with me…) when they could market it as a Speedster with a funky rear clamshell and a price that eclipses the S/T.

Open top as well so all the car spotters can ogle your horrendously coloured CCX Sonderwunsch abominations at the local cars and coffee (and your willingness to spunk £100k on options just because you can).

Why the hate. They made the Speedster which is a GT3 Cab with a difficult roof. Speedsters are ok for California where it never rains, but make use harder in UK/Europe. A proper Cab roof would be much more usable, at the expense of only about 50-60kg aka a full tank of petrol.

No hate from me, I can certainly see the appeal I just think Porsche like the margins on the specials. Why sell a Cabriolet for circa £10k more than a GT3 Coupe when you can sell a Speedster for £100k more?

Hopefully they won't call it a GT3 cab. Not very motorsport is it?

A GT3 Cab would be the perfect car for me.

Same for me, can not think of a better car to drive on these roads other than if it was a Cab.

There was something on the GT Circle email about the reveal of a “new Porsche GT model” on 24th or 25th April.

The interesting point in that is what is a GT3?

For me, it’s the road going homologation of the GT3 Cup and all the cars that go above it.

They still sort of are that engine wise, I guess in years gone past a Carrera RS was really an evolution of the standard Carrera and the Cup cars and RSRs an evolution of those.

Is a GT3 now (if we consider it a Clubsport, a 4 seat Touring, an RS and maybe now a Cabriolet and special edition like S/T and Speedster) now just the original idea of a naturally aspirated 911?

Not for me . I have some GT3RS models but when it comes to a convertible I drive a sedate old Mercedes SL500. I tried cab years ago but driving it very quickly was an unpleasant noisy uncomfortable experience . Thus I can’t really use a cab on a track for instance in a way that fully accesses its capability. I can see something like a Morgan which is more about a drive in the country but I would not want an open GT variant.
