The front looks good, the entire rear end from the back of the rear tires up looks like crap, and the wing is just hidious....it ain't workin for me at all.

Ugh... 20" wheels, no manual, no 5-bolts... I sure hope they make up for it with some serious weight savings? Otherwise, the GT3 is likely going to be more of a show car, and less of a track weapon. Crossing my fingers.

And when was the last time Porsche released something disappointing? Not that I can think of!

I like it. Might need a proper manual to convince me, though.

Good question, BGB has said that you can't even fit 18's on the 991 (even the non GT3) due to the new style of control arms. I wonder how this is going to work. A GT3 that can't fit 18's? Doesn't make sense that the Cups would not be able to have 18's though.

I highly doubt this car will not be offered in a standard manual.

That's slightly disappointing, but I can't complain.

I agree. I'm sure the Cups will be able to fit 18" wheels. They'll have different control arms among other parts so there won't be a comparison between what you can fit on those versus a standard GT3.

A little bit disappointed in this effort. Not feeling it. I like the front end (but it reminds me of the Lotus), but the rest is just leaving me a bit 'meh...

Really don't like the "just PDK" and I really don't like "20s YO!" styling. I'm Ok with the rear taillights, but the rest of the car just looks stretched and out of proportion.

I would like to see it in white or a lighter color...

The rear bumper seems masked or not finished...

Overall I like it. The front bumper looks killer and I love the spoiler!

I have a feeling once unveiled completely and in production trim, we're all going to be pleasantly surprised. I also imagine the 7 speed manual will be standard with the PDK as an option. As for it being a track weapon...the standard 991 Carrera S was faster around the 'Ring than the 997.2 GT3 by 3 seconds, I'm sure the 991 GT3 will eclipse the 991 Carrera S' time soundly.
