Mighty hommage.

The black color is the dope. Surprisingly the car looks classier than the standard GT3 RS.

 

[Cashmere]

The only flaw I see with the interior is the grotesque red headliner. Hopefully black is an available option.

God Damn At The Black Version

Best looking 911 I have ever seen!! Without the ugly turbo holes in the side, but with the Sport Classic ducktail (sort of). Love it, love it, love it.

Evo and Chris Harris deliver the goods. The dive plates on the front bumper increase the frontal downforce by 15%, quite hard to imagine, right? I'm almost enticed to put similar ones on my next car bur instead on rear fenders to simulate the sensation of driving an ass-engined Porsche.

oops, sorry guys. I couldn't type normally for a second there.

This car

If only I could drive this thing and see what it feels like. Love it in white too.

GT3 has been by far my favorite Porsche simply because of the fact that it is a naturally aspirated engine.

OMG, this.. Maybe the hottest car of 2011 so far. White one with black rims and black/red interior without the red headliner please. Looks like a bargain though, Porsche could have asked 300 000 IMO, they would have still been sold out in the first hours/days. Btw, noticed a quite interesting detail in the press photos.

Do you guys spot the speaker on the right side? Interesting 'cause there's no radio and there's not one on the left side either. Is it for warningsounds or maybe it's just a result of all the photoshopping?

Most probably, it's just the speaker cover, without any speaker inside

You noticed that, but not the missing brake and clutch pedals? I heard it saves 5 lbs each.

I only noticed it because you already said it on the first page

But I said it earlier too, Porsche Photoshopping really is going way too far. The missing brake pedal is the icing on the cake.

For the 991, they better have some real photos too, instead of just computer generated images....

Yeah I read your post but wouldn't have noticed though I haven't got a problem with the photoshopping but it's just weird to show this kind of photoshopped pressrelease pictures IMO
//Is that the same picture both in front of the car and in the mirrors?

It might have its roots in racing, but the optional decals can dominate the looks of the 911 GT3. We'd do without - with the possible exception of the RS 4.0 badging and lower side sill stickers.

After all, the 4.0 is all about function; there's nothing superfluous, with every exterior change there for a reason. There's a nine-degree alteration in the angle of attack on the rear spoiler (creating 190kg of downforce), which necessitates the use of 'flics' on the sides of the front bumper to counter the rear's additional downforce. The lower splitter has been tweaked too, while the wings and bonnet are now made of carbon fibre and the rear window and side rear windows are polycarbonate to save weight. There's that magic RS word, weight, the 4.0 shedding around 10kg further to tip the scales at 1,360kg - with a full tank of fuel.

Funny how both Car Enthusiast and Motor Trend use pics of "M sponsored" Chris Harris! Watch out Audi conspiracy theorists, lol.
