Spied: Great New 991 GT3 shots
Trio of new GT3 test-mules spotted

Some new shots of the upcoming GT3 have been posted online, along with a brief video clip to get us even more excited for the harder-core version of the new 991 from Porsche. The new images help us to see even more clearly now the typical GT3-style front bumper, staple centered twin exhaust pipes, and a new style rear wing which appears to be the same as the aero-kit rear spoiler option found in the standard 991 order-book. As Teamspeed noted before this may not be official rear wing set-up for the production version.

The new massive multi-spoke center-lock wheels come into play a little clearer in these images and the strip of camo tape on the top of the rear bumper we are convinced is hiding a symmetrical row of air-vents.

Power is expected to be around 450 horsepower and as mentioned earlier in the week, August Achleitner, the 911 project chief, confirmed that Porsche's motorsport division is currently testing both manual and PDK versions of the new GT3. I believe these test mules are PDK fitted cars.

Very cool shots and thanks for posting!

Is it just me or is car #4 lacking steering wheel mounted shifters (manual mule?)?

This is really growing on me; can't wait to see it in the flesh.

Great post Andreas!

Love the new front lip, massive!

That looks great! Can't wait to see the final product.

Sent from my SGH-T959V using teamspeed

Same principal of the wheel well gurney that we stole from the Cup cars....

make sure that the front tires stay inside the fender.... to create better aero and brake flow ..

991 does nothing for me still :(

Love it..just love it!

yes please!

Luv it. Can't wait to see the RS version.

lovely, except the wing.

Looks great, still not convinced about rear wing though?

Good eyes, might be true.

But where is the sound?

The photographer said they all had paddles.

Ah ok. Had my hopes high for a sec...

Well actually I kind of torn about it, would love to see a manual in the GT3, but as an option, it will probably end up being half assed effort, while all the development is concentrated around the PDK.

Can't say I'm that excited yet.
Surly rhey will do a manual too?

Bad. Ass.

:wow2:

Also notice guys the car that supposedly doesn't have paddles also doesn't have ANY of the GT3 body work besides the centrally mounted exhausts, otherwise it's a typical 991. Perhaps it's a "Carrera R"?

It looks far too much like an aftermarket bodykit for my tastes.

Here we go again...

That car looks like a beast! Better start saving

:lol: Just kidding, it's just a standard 991 for testing of the GT3 Engine.

It does look very agressive at the front, not 100% sure but these thing have a habit of growing on you.

^ exactly front is very agressive. 991 still hasn't grown on me, I parked next to a white cab w black wheels last week and my 997 still looks better to me.. I have to see the GT3 in person before I can decide.

Not sure if I like the rectangular vent in the center. I hope they're still covering some up. The mules posted previously showed a different front bumper look, but who knows.

I still am not sold that this is the final rear wing for the GT3, I think something a little different is coming our way for the production version.

That looks sick!

Can't wait to see it in person.

Looks good except the wing.

Andreas, if you or any of your team read this thread, please take note that we really don't like that rear wing! I certainly hope that awful aero kit wing isn't what Porsche give us on the GT3.

I'm a Porsche salesman lol

My voice is not heard my friend trust me. They dont even give us any type of incentives to drive the cars. We have to buy our own. Ive been more vocal about that lol

I don't hate the aero kit wing personally but I do like the last one more. We will have to see the final product! :shrug:

also andreas give us the quality in the new gt3/rs that porsche bangs on about!! not like my nightmare 4.0 rs, finishing standards of a car that a guy built in his garage, the company makes such an issue about quality control on its tv docs at the factory !! lets get this one right, also here the new boxter is having its issues to? maybe to much going on ??? devils in the detail as they say or porsche will start to loose there long term loyal customers!

PORSCHE OF ORLANDO ---Salesman.......

Not PCNA or PAG ----Quality Control

:shrug: :lol:

He means Andreas Preuninger :shrug:

The front looks great. But the wing is terrible. I hope they do something about it. Looks like a complete mismatch.

I'm shure this aerokit wing is not the final product. Look At the earlier spyshots ...... Much different and its higher, similar to the the 997 mk2 wing.

One thing for certain they will not use the same wing as they offer for regular 991.... so, lets just wait to see when the time comes closer to publishing...
