quartermile, has to be a GT3 because it's missing the intercooler scoops.

Think about it .. if intercoolers were shown the title would sat Ã¢â‚¬Å“TT or GT2 spy photoÃ¢â‚¬Â instead. For test purposes they could have masked the intakes on the test mule and pull air in from wheel wells.

That would be very unlikely, If you take a close look, the steering wheel has a yellow strip at the top of the wheel, It would be unlike Porsche to add this to the Turbo as it is more top of the line production.

I also remember seeing the same strip on a spied photo of a GT3 sometime ago.

997 GT3 Cup car is already out w/ narrow body, then why would the regular GT3 have a wide body? Could the car in the pic be a disguised 997 GT2 w/ the side intake covered???

look for the hip line. that's easier to spot than the actural width.

I see what you mean, but somehow i think the black with that glare makes it look wider. When i look a a regular 997 it can look the same from a angle.

I somehow think this car is not the widebody, but i am probably wrong like usual.
