Wonder what the horsepower will be.
Mr, B

 

Now that's a nice car! Wow!!

 

I would guess 450 BHP on a lighter car as well. I think that is the cadence that Porsche has adopted in terms of increasing performance. It's very measured and marketing is definitley the driver. A Mk II refresh of the 991 GT3 will probably get another 20 - 30 BHP on top of that. A really interesting question will be what they do with the 991 GT3 RS. Will it have more BHP than the GT3 like the 997.2 RS does today as compared to the standard 997.2 GT3? If so, then the new RS will get close, but not exceed the performance of the 997 4.0. Seems like the right move to do it that way so the uniqueness of the 4.0 is preserved, but I could see a Mk II refresh of the 991 GT3 RS going to 500 BHP if they keep the current RS BHP differential in place. Its fun to speculate, but we will have to wait to see.

The pictures of that 991 GT3 make me want to get on the waiting list. Alas, finances are limited and college for kids looms.

 

Question. Is that the same spoiler package on the 991s currently?

 

Scooter, I wouldn't even think about it, your GT3 is beautiful and looks just like that 991 anyway...

I think the 997 will age well and go down in Porsche history as one of the most desirable generations.

 

I hope they go with a bigger spoiler! Looks excellent otherwise.

 

starting to really love the look of this new 911. grown on me over the last few months of spy photos and testing. I would love to own this car..

 

Active aero a la rear wing???

 

that is really, really good. and i didn't like the looks of the base 991 over the base 997, either

 

Cool spy photos! Hope they do something else with the spoiler!

 

Do you think the car will be a MY 2013 or 2014?

 

I think it will come out in early 2013.

I am still mixed on this car. I have not been a big supporter of the new 991....On this 991 GT3 the specs look great, front looks good, side looks ok, but the rear looks terrible....that wing is fugly. I always thought the 996 and 997 GT3s looked complete, this car looks mix matched...therefore I am not feeling it....unfortunately this is my reaction with most new cars from most every manufacturer.....call me old school

 

I am willing to keep an open mind. The C2s didn't exactly blow me away, and I am hoping that this model will. I just hope the performance blows me away and not the price .
