    That is the 2006 Spyder. The 2007 Spyder is quite a bit different. The side panels are completely different and the nose is much, much sharper.

    Yes, I guess they need the 07 Spyder on the track, not in the showrooms

    Re: Some shots of the RS Spyder

    Unfortunately the ACO has made sure that the Spyders will not be in contention for overall wins next year. (assuming IMSA applies the regs , which they will no doubt sooner or later)
    It's a real shame. this is a great car and its painful to see it being castrated into submission.

    Re: Some shots of the RS Spyder

    I was there on thursday. Saw the RS Spyder before in our local Porsche dealership, but wanted to see the 996 GT1 in real life for the first time Only knew the 993 GT1 before.

    Re: Some shots of the RS Spyder

    wow... but MORE pics of the GT1!!!! PLEASE!

    Still would be a good solid experience walking around and gawking at the details of a fine prototype.

    No argument from me!

    Re: Some shots of the RS Spyder

    Those three cars looked surprisingly different in comparison.

    The Carrera GT has the most recent supercar details and proportions. The RS Spyder is surprsingly huge, even longer than the Carrera GT but a bit narrower. At least on the 2006 version the front looks very massive, very functional with simply shaped surfaces when it comes to its design. The Carrera GT's front is much more subtle, both reg. surface and detailing.

    The GT1 was the biggest surprise on that field, its odd overhangs and proportions making it look somewhere in between a super- and a clowncar. A couple of subtle parts, as the airoutlets on the front hood speak a different language as those boisterous wheel arches. The car's cabin uses much more proportional height than on the Carrera GT for example, therefore appearing much more dramatic in terms of low height. Seeing this car in traffic must cause a stir...

    Interestingly, both cars, the GT1 and the RS Spyder, are initially designed as race cars. That was the most surprising thing to me, that ten years of design and engineering at Porsche can put out two entirely different cars in these respect (layout and regulation differences kept aside).

    Re: Some shots of the RS Spyder

    My brother was in Atlanta for a business trip last week. Killing some time he walked into the local shopping mall only to come across the RS Spyder anf Ryan Briscoe signing autographs. He picked me up a signed poster. He said the car was drool worthy.

    Re: Some shots of the RS Spyder

    Here are some nice photos of the 2007 car.
