That 0 to 62mph time seems off. A gt3 RS time is low 3 second range. Should be faster than 3.8.
BTW, this car will be unobtainium....as usual

Official 0-100 kph on the RS is 3.3 seconds. Carrera S with PDK and Sport Chrono does it in 3.9, while the manual version in 4.3.

That looks incredible!! Really like the sleekness of it (but no stripes for me). As great looking of a car as the 911 is, this may be the ultimate of the non GT versions. Even better than the GTS possibly. Would like to see a duck tail on it too.
This is going to be a very fast car with a lot of driver involvement. Great to see driver's car. Seems Porsche is the only one doing that anymore (light and manual tranmission).

Minus the stripes, I love it. GT Silver or Guards Red will look incredible.

Gt3 engine and components and a MANUAL. That's it and it's sweet and simple looking.
I'd love a gt3 or gt3 rs but I'm just not a wing kind of guy...at all.

Because Porsche & limited edition.

The original 911 R, which was basically a lightweight track edition:

I love dark, spartan interior on the thing. I vastly prefer it to stock interior which to me resembles a Dodge truck with all its cheap-looking silver-plastic trim pieces. Not only it is tacky but distracting as well because this silvery plastic reflects sun into the windshield. I am glad Porsche started moving away from this unfortunate design trend. I hope others follow suit.

Another car I won't be able to justify. Great idea though and I love the looks. Minus the stupid stripes anyway.

No dorky wing is a huge

As all Porsche images are CGI they do not show the actual car. It will not look as perfect in real life. But they do have a better stance then most but it isn't as good as the images show.
