That car looks mean and fast. I am a little disappointed (but not surprised) that it doesn't look as much as the 991 as the old 997 GT3 looked like a regular 997. Looking forward to LeMans. |

I wish it was going to be at Sebring for the 12 Hours.

Nice link Painted Man,
As the article states the 991 GT3 RSR will not race in America until 2014 with a chance to see it at Sebring and Atlanta in WEC events possibly in GTE? So we now know what Joerg Bergmeister is going to do..... how about Patrick Long? Car looks mean, the real question is will the change in engine position make the car competitive with the Ferrari 458 Italia, will it take away from the traction? Porsche has worked so hard to compensate for the rear engine weight situation for so many years, now with a better balanced car can they take the 991 over the next hurdle and dominate. Should be fun to see how this all unfolds. I guess this is the answer for those that want to see a CAYMAN GT3 RSR? Porsche is always evolving!!! Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |
