Default 2004 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Nice IMO:

Another version of the 911, ok, but it's a GT3.. an extreme GT3 so it can't be that bad...
200 will be build just to be an homologation model.
And I love the look! It sure reminds a lot the original RS!

Its engine develops 381 BHP and it's always the 3.6 liters (105.8 hp/liter), as a "normal" GT3.
0-60 in 4.4 seconds, 124 mph in 14 seconds and top speed of 190 mph.
It has a close-ratio 6 speed gearbox and a flywheel with lower rotating mass (single, not double)
The indicative price, for Germany, is around 120'000 € = 136'000 $ = 82'000 £

Yeah, I would have like if the writing would have been more "classic" looking, but it's not bad

i like the look of that.that spoiler doesnt really bother me,the fact that it does 0-60 in 4.4 and top speed of 190 takes me away from that,lol

I dunno if I could handle having to have those giant decals LOL. I prefer something a little more stealthy. I'd probably just stick with the conventional GT3: definitely good enough on the track, with just a tiny bit of practicality.

Yes, the red items might be a bit gaudy, but there's no way you'll be mistaking that car for any 'normal' Porsche, or what serves as normal for Porsche.

Besides, when you're screaming down the track/road at triple digit speeds, or around abrupt, tight corners, who has the time to worry about the aesthetics of your car?
