Re: Porsche 991 GT3 to include GT1 motorsport engine...
ISUK:
A couple of development cars spotted in Ireland a few days ago.
I hope they have their SatNavs on to test the map data. Much of south western and central Ireland was just a blank screen when I was there in a 911 a few years ago.

Re: Porsche 991 GT3 to include GT1 motorsport engine...
A point that I think is sometimes missed is that Porsche does an amazing amount of on-road testing prior to releasing their cars.
I think this is unusual for a small/specialized manufacturer and is a tribute to their commitment to build and engineer the best possible cars! 
Re: Porsche 991 GT3 to include GT1 motorsport engine...
Love the pics! The new boxster and Cayman taillights remind me of the Panamera's, though in a good way. And agreed on Carrara's talents ...Wow, I'd absolutely love a 991 cab with curves that reflect the light as in his renderings!

This is an old tradition at Porsche. The VW beetle was subjected to a lot of testing before WW2, including "high speed" testing on the first stretches of Autobahn.

This is the reason Porsche sports models are perfect road cars in all conditions and on all types of road surfaces. What's good if you can get the best out of a sports car only on smooth "billiard table" roads that hardly exist. The current PASM is great..
The Audi R8 is also great in this respect for the type of car it is.

Carrara,
You are very talented, no doubt. But I don't think any kind rendering can make this car look good
Yes, the front/rear are easy to " redo" , but it is the rear seating humpback roofline as viewed from the side that is this car's problem . It was demanded by Porsche's prev CEO so that it could sell in China , where this would be the chauffeur -driven Porsche model so adult rear headroom was an inviolate design mandate .

Re: Porsche 991 GT3 to include GT1 motorsport engine...
Here are some of the best pictures yet from Teamspeed. They actually do the car justice, especially for a mule. It looks smaller than it does in the other shots, lower, sleeker, less fat, and more aggressive. And the rear wing... In these pictures it looks huge! Maybe once you get up to speed the deployment angle increases?

Porsche 991 mule testing at the Nurburgring...
Look at these two pics, with so many carpets on top of the dash and with sun protector down, this guy can´t see sh...tJ.Seven
Perhaps this mule has the new optional PARTS? Will cost about 5k.

Re: Porsche 991 GT3 to include GT1 motorsport engine...
Who knows. If I were Porsche I would sell ads for people to put on the sides and front of the mules, because spy pictures are gonna circulate all through the internet, and I bet many would love their ad on the hood of the mule in that picture! LOL
Really, it's instant profit and all they need is tape! hahahaha

Why the tape over the front emblem - does Porsche hope some will think it's a new Hyundai ?
Aerodynamics, so Porsche can claim unreasonable Nissan style NoS lap times lol

indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine.. I happen to like both :)

Re: Porsche 991 GT3 to include GT1 motorsport engine...
I'm just guessing since the only cars that coner so flat (if you look at the space between wheel arch and tire it doesn't compress at all) that I have seen are with active stabiliser bars 
but there is no reason they could not be used with regular PASM right?

I am guessing that they use active suspension as well. Using active engine mounts, this would actually be the most logical step apart from active aerodynamics. Not sure whether the active system on the Cayenne is linked to the air suspension´s control module or due to an algorythm to prevent any rocking in alternating curves because of its high center of gravity.

None.
Re: Porsche 991 GT3 to include GT1 motorsport engine...
didn't the european Cayenne GTS use a non-air suspension pasm option with pdcc? in North america we could only get the air suspensioned pasm.
