Default All-New 2014 Porsche 911 GT3 Breaks Cover Ahead of the Geneva Auto Salon

Carscoop: http://www.carscoops.com/2013/03/all...t3-breaks.html













Quote:
What we have here is the first batch of official images of the all-new, 991-generation, Porsche 911 GT3, revealed in advance of the car's world premiere at 83rd Geneva International Auto Show in Switzerland this Tuesday.
We're still lacking official details, but from what we've heard, the new 911 GT3 will feature a high-revving normally aspirated flat six with a displacement of 3.8-liters producing around 450-horses (about 50hp more than the new 911 Carrera S) connected for the first time to Porsche's dual-clutch PDK transmission, instead of a manual gearbox (though, it could be offered as an option).

The most focused 991 model yet, sports a new exterior bodykit with a lowered front bumper featuring a lip spoiler that wraps up to the wheel arches, different mirrors and headlamps, side skirts, a bespoke rear bumper with a diffuser and central exhaust pipes, plus a rear wing and its own alloy wheels.

The interior of the GT3 is dressed in a combination of black leather and Alcantara surfaces accented with red stitching.

Stray tuned, as we'll update this post as soon as we get an official word from Porsche.

It's nice, it just looks a little big. It would still be near the top of the list for me though.

Interested in how the motor and intakes are going to get air. They usually had intakes in the rear quarter panel. Car looks sick tho.

I really like the rear. Not a fan of the front.

Silly fool. You think EA will allow P cars in GT6?

You're thinking GT2. Neither of the previous generations of GT3 had intakes there.

996 GT3



997 GT3

Pull back on both paddles to disengage the clutch - finally a paddle system that can truly be driven like a manual. All of it sounds great.

Was the 996 really that awkward looking?

That's actually a good picture of it. The profile was the usual, the front and rear were

I watched the whole 12 minute video of the guy apologizing for the car and I still think the rear steering is an awful idea. Hopefully the RS will ditch this and the PDK. Everything else about the car is looking pretty good.

There has never been an ugly 911. Only ones less beautiful than another. The 996 included. I drooled over those just as much as any other model.
