I am not a big fan of the stripes but the concept is wonderful!!!! Strip it out, Install Lightnes, put in a big NA engine and manual gearbox.

Based I am sure on this one...the 1967 911R

WTF!

This costs more than a GT3 RS or Turbo S! LOL

Take my money... NOW!!!

Bbb34 · 03-01-2016, 10:31 PM

The stripes though

.

Other than that, it looks amazing, and only available with manual

, what's not to like.

Yes same amount of downforce without that comical wing, lighter, tuned better (i.e. softer damping and better steering feel according to the evo vid).

I can't agree. Seeing the GT3 and GT3 RS in person, the stance is def perfect and from the EVO video you can tell the stance is perfect here as well. It does sit low but not too low.

It also has PCCB standard, more CF one off panels made just for this car, and magnesium roof. There's a lot included for around the same price as the GT3 RS.

I never said the stance wasn't great on the real cars. I just said that it isn't as great as the CGI images show.

I know what you meant. From my point of view it's perfect though. It's ideal as well considering their handling capabilities.

I love Porsche and its philosophy. They never water shit down when it comes to the high end stuff they produce and they're very focused on hitting their points. Love this car so much, maybe more than the GT3 RS. Ok, maybe not more, but the same.

Manual gearbox in 991.2 GT3...sure does sound like it.

Quote:

AutoExpress:

Preuninger also revealed that the 911 R’s new six-speed manual gearbox is likely to be offered in the second generation of the 991 GT3. “I can certainly imagine this gearbox in the GT3,” he said. “There is some overlap, with the 911 R for purists and the GT3 RS for track day fans, and then the GT3 in the middle. Right now it’s just with PDK, but I can certainly imagine gen-2 GT3 getting this manual transmission.”

And hopefully no turbos (no way they go till 9k rpm without grenading) until the electric torque fill arrives from the 992 or whatever they call it.

The car looks incredible. I would probably not want the stripes but otherwise it's excellent. Too bad it is way out of my price range and even if it was, it's probably limited and sold out.

A manual transmssion GT3RS. They've answered the prayers of many a car enthusiast.

MilehighM3 · 03-04-2016, 11:38 PM

I love that everyone piled onto a car that's a previous gen GT3 RS, for more money. Perhaps they view it as a GT3 with 50th interior and stripes? It's "new" yet it's exactly the same as the old. Not that's they're bad cars, but there's nothing new here other than a different model year on the morony. More power to Porsche with their marketing. They should adopt the slogan antiquated, rebuilt.
