Lack of side intakes and the center exit exhaust makes sense. The rear bumper in covered with something where I couldnt see the exits if there were side intakes that I missed totally. Durrrrr….

If you look closely you can see the letters 'GT3' in the center of the Tachometer.

Always knew (and predicted) they would eventually move to a dual clutch setup. What I'm hoping is they leave an option for the single clutch. Porsche knows (like every other manufacturer) that dual clutches (and autos) are selling a LOT better than single clutches. So if they are in a business of making money, they might benefit from offering a dual clutch model.

The more times I see that rear spoiler the more I don't like it. The old school ducktail just doesn't go with the straight wing! And of course you need a manual but that's a given. I have to say though having driven some double clutch systems, they really do make sense for racing/track use, so I can understand why cars are going this way. It's just that much easier to drive fast when you don't have an extra pedal to worry about, or rev matching, or just one more thing to steal your concentration.

I was talking with local dealer guys at the track yesterday and they said the GT3 will have 3 wing options. In general I trust what dealers say about as much as I trust a priest in a boys' camp, but it is a rumor...

i like the design. I would agree that it needs a bigger wing in the back just for the statement it makes!

PDK on the new 991s is insane. I can only imagine how this GT3 will perform!!!

Nice! It can use slightly bigger wing...Looks a little bit odd. Looks like a PDK is being offered! Track king!

I for one am happy there will be a PDK option, having driven similar equiped cars I miss it especially as the GT3 suffers with a finiky 2 to 3 shift (yes you can learn to drive around it but in this price bracket why should you!!??).

Even my E60 M5 is a joy more of the time with its quirky SMG box.

Its the future and 3 pedals will go by the way side.

Cheers

That definitely won't happen for as long as me and the huge community of the rest of my 3 pedal loving friends are alive!!!
