Porsche Rumours and Spy Shots
 

added this new topic - THX to our main supporter Dani :P - and the name says it all - everything "Erlkönig" in here please, articles, pics, vids,... whatever :)

happy hunting,

st-A :P

Dang, that is one good looking GT3, still hate the plastic center console tho. :?
I would prefer the burgandy color on the turbo.

:shock: The GT3 looks HOT!! :twisted:

^^^^^
:drool: :-D
only one problem i see with the GT3... the yellow stitching doesnt seem to go with the black interior... well, we cant see the seats...

GREAT idea dani/st-a ;)

looks great outside but why does a GT3 has a navigation system?

it´s been Dani´s idea, so credit to him :P

hoooooly cow that turbo's wide :shock:

don't know where but I heard that the new 997 GT3 will have a completely different rear wing than seen on the spy shots. They just fitted a "standard" wing for the road tests but they in fact have a completely new one. Does someone know about it?

What's the deal w/ the dinky foglights on the TT? The rear end does look amazing though.

Perhaps that explains a little bit why we have this thread now. :P

I wish they designed a new wheel for the 997 GT3, these are 99% the same as the ones on the 996 MkII expect for the size, which cleary is 19" instead of 18".

Love the GT3 interior with the alcantara wheel and dash. Superb.

Loved The Old GT3 Ferrari Performance Extremely Good Bulid Quality And About 30K Cheaper And Looks Good Too
Is This The 1 With 415BHP If it Is Im Sure it'll Monster Anything Round A Track

997 GT3 RS ?

http://www.porschecentrumeindhoven.n...gt3_rs_997.htm

seems they are testing in Michigan... i ran into them about 2 weeks ago on US23 near 14... one had duel tailpipes... the other 2 had single pipes... (again, an instance i should've had my camera)

it seems they are coming out pretty soon, is my guess :)

anyway... :)

New pics of the 997 GT3 RS spotted at the Nürburgring this weekend.
This car is going to be awesome, it looks so agressive in its widebody suit! :D

Sorry to ask stupid questions, but how do you know it is a RS? :oops:

I also read something in a magazine about an RS version to be unveiled in in the end of 2006 ... Why not :|

Well to tell you the truth, I'm not 100% sure. I've read a lot of rumours about the 997GT3RS being a wide-body version of the "normal" GT3.

Just look at this pic and compare the rear wheel-arches to the standard GT3... They're MUCH wider! :D

We jsut have to wait and see then :roll:

Yep... and start saving some money! :)

GT3 RS ?!? Hummm It looks just a gorgeous GT3, to me !! :drool:

I hope the RS will look different than the normal GT3, just like the old 996 8)

To see a Porsche 997 GT3 in this state of test at the Ring when the production model was revealed indicate to me that there's strong chance that it's a improved model of the GT3, like a RS version.

^ Yeah, but still it looks quite notably wider at the rear compared to a normal GT3, or is it just me? :wink:

I based my remark on the pictures that Svensson posted, but after several observations I must go to the obviousness that it's simply a 997 GT3. Nevertheless, I find that curious to see a 997 GT3 with the black color scheme tested on Nordschleife Ring last week. :hmm:

The future 997 RS will probably look like the 997 GT3 Cup IMO. :wink:

Other than it not having the regular GT2 front end, why is there not speculation that it's the knew GT2? I just really doubt that they would already be working on an RS since the last one came out very late in the 996's life, and the 360CS isn't even out yet. Whatever it is it looks promising :)

Interesting point, but I don't think the black car is the 997GT2. It looks exáctly like the other GT3's we've seen, except for the wider rear wheelarches. I think the GT2 will look a lot different i.e. different front (like you said), bigger airintakes (like the 997Turbo), entirely other back-end, a different spoiler etc.

Of course it could be a test mule, but then I think the car would be a lot more covered up with tape etc. To see an almost production ready car looking exactly like a GT3 but only wider, leads me to the conclusion that it could well be the new RS. Or maybe it's just wishful thinking... :P

Just read that the respected Dutch car mag "Autovisie" is also claiming that the lightweight 997GT3 RS will be unveiled next autumn and that it will have the widebody of the Carrera 4.

Again, no official news of course, but Autovisie has it right most of the times... :wink:

Well that makes sense, i just wanted to bring up the option, and wow that seems really early for an RS, can't wait!

the new Panamera

Re: the new Panamera
 

looks alright i guess basically like a four door CGT, a dont really like the back, but i bet its gunna be fast a hell

The fact that Porsche requested to have the pictures removed, tells me enough... It's definately no normal GT3!
RS in the house baby! :D

Yes, it's almost official, I read in a Porsche mag. that the RS will be unveiled in September :wink:

very well done mr.Lehmann

:wink:

Thanks for that! I expected the GT3 RS to be widebody, but never thought about it having the 3.8L engine. Wawaweewaa! :D

Let's see if those rumours are correct...

Oh yeah !!! My favorite Porsches are strike back ! I knew the 997 GT3 RS will looks like the Cup version, but I'm agreeably surprised with the new GT2 design. They are both mighty and awesome ! :twisted: :good:

HOLY GOD! i was seriously wondering the abilities of the 3.8 liter engine... and further, being a flawed design :shock: (and i thought for good reason; im quite glad to see im very wrong! :) )

thanks for the link st-A!

It looks hot but i prefer Gemballa

997 GT3RS & GT2
 

:repost
(didn't see st-angers post from a couple a days ago..)

:D :D :D :D :D I'd take both PLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAASE :D :D :D :D :D

^ Thanks for the pics! By the way, the car in the first two pics is a 997 GT2 :wink:

Thanks a bunch Dani for all your new Porsche pictures that you posted here. :good:

^^
Yes the four door sedan/coupe is getting pulled of. The car will be killer hot and smoke cars like the E55 and M5.

thx for the pics & info :) im sure the panamera will be an awesome car...not sure it'd be the limousine/high class saloon i'd buy though...

well; what im looking forward to is the return of the 928... just rumours at this point... but the panamera is like a 4 door 928; and is to be the best looking 4 door car in production!

Lame ass chop

That pic looks photoshoped.

Rumour:

2007 Cayman 2.7 240PS
2007 Boxster S 3.4 295PS



Seems quite logical, Boxster S getting the 3.4 from the Cayman S.
And the Cayman will get the same engine as the Boxster.



EDIT: Cayman is already officially released ! Check "Porsche News"

Perhaps for you it looks photoshoped, but it's an official Porsche AG. picture of the 997 GT3 Cup. :wink:

Spy Shot: Panamera @ the Nurburgring

yes, it is the Panamera
