Well it looks like this will be pretty much exactly what the next GT3 will look like.

Well i guess its hard to improve on perfection.

Im not sure if i like the look.... it looks like a turbo front mated with a GT3 front.

It looks like the wanted to incorporate then new LED's and the new 997.2 look.

But i trust porsche, and it will probably look very good in person.

It also looks like the new GT3 will have a smaller RS style wings as well.

I prefer the look of the current car, but then again I am a bit biased.

Very Nice.

It will be interesting to see how many people order a GT3 with PDK. The Carrera is at 73%, will the GT3 be as high?

doesnot look as nice as the 07-08.
im sure it will grow on me and it'll be a hoot to drive.
always preferred the body-colored gt3 wings of the past.. 996 v1/2, 997 v1, etc... never a fan of the big RS blade, so that will take adjusting to (for me).

My first impression is that the current GT3's have a more aggressive look both from the front as well as from the rear. Aside from that, as usual, Porsche has not changed very much with the facelift.

Very nice! Although I do not like like the rear as much as the previous model.

My question, with the move to paddle shifters for the PDK, will the new GT3 have a 6spd option? GT3's have traditionally been pretty one dimensional in terms of performance options....

i think i still like the 07-08s more. I feel it looks less edgy and aggressive than the current one. And unless there significant changes and improvements, I think I will have a hard time justifying it against the 997. just my 0.02.

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/28/p...-gt3-for-2010/

autoblog states its gonna be a 4.0 engine, 435hp, 0-60 in 4.1

you gotta be kiddin me. 0.4 liter increase only gives 20 hp gain? and nothing to acceleration?

Wheels with the center locking hubs look nice.
