Porsche just released a teaser video of the new GT3.

What a brilliant teaser. Much better than the useless videos BMW have been dropping for the X5-M. The character of the engine car certainly changed, the note is deeper suggesting that the displacement has been bumped up from 3.6 to 3.8L. Though the big question is whether there will be a PDK option or not.

A small increase in displacement won't result in perceptible differences in engine tone. Any acoustic difference is more than likely down to different induction and exhaust harmonics. A deeper exhaust note technically can't give any indications to displacement change.
I'll tell y'all how different the MKII 997 GT3 RS sounds when it drives past my office window. (With the largest Porsche dealership in the world two blocks away - a fair number come past on a regular basis). A GT3 RS is an amazingly loud animal in real life and unfortunately a youtube vid can't possibly convey the true extent of the car's sound.

Exhaust systems can definitely decisive role in engine not but I would be surprised if Porsche intentionally robbed the GT3 of it's high pitched race inspired sound. The sound of the one in the video sounded more rounded and refined but we shall soon be able to download mp3 files of the sound.
Given all the naked test mules and this teaser the press release shouldn't be too far away, probably first half of Feb with debut at Geneva. I wonder what speed the driver hit as the passengers stare at the speedometer at 1:02
But damn that car makes you forget all about the LP560, GT-R and R8 V10. A manual GT3 is a thoroughbred sports car. Walter Rörlh has probably already planed on replacing this kermit GT3RS mkI with this new German racing horse.

2010 911 GT3 Revealed
Following the release of the facelifted Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models late last year, as well as a new Targa, come the first details and images for the updated 911 GT3. Porsche has continued its tradition of only implementing minimal changes to the styling of its race-bred GT3, opting to focus on changes taking place under the revised sheet metal instead.
For the 2010 model year, the GT3 has been given more power, better handling, and a slightly higher base price. While U.S. pricing info is yet to be revealed, the facelifted GT3 will sell in Europe for €116,947 following its debut at March’s Geneva Motor Show.
Power has been boosted by 20hp (15kW) over the outgoing model, with the car’s naturally-aspirated flat-six engine now pumping out 435hp (325kW). Changes to the powertrain include a larger 4.0L of displacement, as opposed to the former’s 3.8L, as well as an updated VarioCam system with adjustable exhaust valves. The end result is a 0-100km/h sprint time of 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 312km/h.
To improve handling, engineers have modified the PSM stability management system to allow more flexibility, and there is a new graduated setting for both the stability and traction control systems. Changes to the car’s aerodynamics have also been implemented, with a new spoiler design improving downforce over the rear axle.
Other changes include enlarged carbon-ceramic brake discs, and a new adjustable front spoiler that can be raised by up to 30mm at the push of a button. Visually, the new 2010 GT3 can be differentiated from its predecessor thanks to the addition of bi-xenon headlights, new LED tail-lamps, and revised air intakes in the front bumper.

Re: 2010 911 GT3 Revealed
Folks looks like it's official release day.
Go to Official Porsche Website for the web release. I'm checking it out now.
[Oh and it's not up from a 3.8 litre engine; the 997 GT3 RS displacement is 3.6 litres from that very special GT1 blocked engine.]
