Thanks for the photos. I have to say I hope the rear wing isn't a finalized version. I think I much prefer the wing on the RS and even the 996 GT3 :roll: . The front end looks a little cluttered also but I could live with that. I have been fooled before with these spy pictures though so this time I'm going to take a wait and see attitude  .

Basically what they are saying is that since the car has no rear air intakes, it most likely does'nt have a turbocharged engine. A 6cyl boxer with either 3,6l or 3,8l with around 400hk. They also say that it will keep the centermounted exhaust. And to the end: It will be available from late this year.

Looks much better than the 996, but I don't like the exhaust.

I believe this has already been posted on the "News" section, but anyway:
I don't think this is the GT3, but the Carrera 4 (the S version in this case)...
I could be wrong, but I think that the central exhaust is just a trick to make us think this is the GT3... There are some things that make me wonder...Like the interior, which looks just like a standard 997 from those pictures, and the brakes. I think the GT3 will have 350mm steel discs as standart, and the car in the pics has the regular 997 S brakes...
Plus, the Aerokit and the -20mm LSD option are again just to make it look like a GT3 in my opinion, and all that snow is a great place to test the AWD system...

It does make sense that they would wanna test the GT3 on a dry track instead..........

First gt3 wing looked just great, second worse but still aceptable and if this is gt3, then this one is really ugly

The centermounted exhaust looks gay on the 997.
