The side profile shot makes the wing look a little weird. But, cover it up and maybe we got a good idea what the Touring version will look like and for once I think I might prefer a GT3 without a wing.
I think a whole 17 second faster lap-time of the Nürburgring over the previous GT3 says all you need to know about how much better the 992 GT3 really is. It's also faster than the previous GT3 RS variant, which says a whole lot. The previous RS had 513hp, but this new GT3 isn't even an RS.Numbers alone its not much better than rhe outgoing GT3 and its uglier. And didnt the previous RS have 520hp? Id stick with the 2019-2020 GT3
According to the official Porsche website the 992 GT3 does not have a wider body than the standard 992 C2.As is fairly standard for the GT3, the 992 car sports a wider body than the regular models in the range,
Ahh i see I mixed up the models lol. I think thats an honest mistake so I stand corrected, this version does look legit.The side profile shot makes the wing look a little weird.

Perhaps if it was painted it might look and blend in better.The side profile shot makes the wing look a little weird.
They do, I suppose that the Porsche look. Personally I find that with the progressive lengthening of each successive model the elongated shape becomes more and more aesthetically pleasing. That's not to say I'd like one the length of a limousine though.but I do find most Porsches look similar.
The sound is often enough to make you do that.I've never whipped my head around and wondered 'what is THAT?'.
Eggstravagant.Anyone have a spare $207k I can borrow?
Yes.

That girl has a fat ass.
I don't mean to insult Porsche or their fans; but I do find most Porsches look similar. I've never thought 'oh that's an ugly car'....they're quite nice. But at the same time I've never whipped my head around and wondered 'what is THAT?'. Because I knew what it was.
I'm talking purely cosmetic, of course. Having said all that, I would LOVE to take a drive in one of these!
Incredible as always from Porsche. They really can't do much wrong can they
Yeah I most likely would. I was meaning Porsche in general. I'm just not a big fan of their styling. But, living in eastern Canada, I've never seen one in person, I don't think. Maybe in my trips to Toronto or down into the States. But not here. What I do like about them is that they're (relatively) affordable and dependable for all that performance. One podcast I listen to describes Porsche as the budget supercar in all the best ways. I'm REALLY not trying to insult them in any way. I would be so excited just to get a ride in any model above a BoxsterGT3s are worth a head turn, they are much more rare and special than other models, in every way.
Except thousands of Cayman 718 models with 4-cylinder engines about as interesting as a Subary Legacy. They didnt screw up a GT3 yet though I think. I do remember some news reports of 991.1 GT3 catching fire but not sure how widespread those engine issues were.
