    997 GT3 Supercup...New pics!!!

    Now i'm almost sure that my next 997GT3 will be Carrara White...

    Some news from the article: 3.6 litre engine, 400Hp, Sequential gearbox, PCCB (380/350 without ABS) and 1150Kg...Amazing!!

    Enjoy!!









    For those who understand German, here is the article:
    997 GT3 Supercup Article

    Re: 997 GT3 Supercup...New pics!!!

    great, thanks a lot max!

    IMO the deletion of the fog-/inidicator lamps really suits the car well! this GT3 cup looks aggressive and not beetle-esque! that's the way it should be!

    Re: 997 GT3 Supercup...New pics!!!

    Holy guacamole! that car looks awesome! Too bad I dont understand german.

    I thought the GT3's interior would look different than the Carrera's. (another midconsole or somehing) That true?

    Re: 997 GT3 Supercup...New pics!!!

    Very nice thanks for the pictures MaxT.
    It looks really good without the foglights in the bumper .

    Re: 997 GT3 Supercup...New pics!!!

    Maybe the facelifted 997 will have the turn signals inside the headlight housing, and a pair of small fog lights attached to the air intakes or inside them like in the boxster. It would look much better.

    997 just came out and we're already talking about a facelift

    Sidenote: I also like the Boxster grill better.

    Don't forget that the "postbox" slot below the bootlid makes
    the front look much more purposefull and agressive/ less beetle-esque/

    Re: 997 GT3 Supercup...New pics!!!

    Totally agree...
    this front end is so much more aggressive. I dislike the feminine looks to the current 997 and hope they remove those lights that look like an afterthought.

    The 911 has a classic shape... but that shape shoul not be screaming VW beetle.

    Re: 997 GT3 Supercup...New pics!!!

    Sorry, but I'd say this car looks even more Beetle-esque then the Carrera version, despite the more prominent front bumper!

    I believe that the photographer, just like on the first 997 pictures, stressed the prominent headlights more than would be necessary!

    I do have to say that the front bumper looks much better than on the first picture, much more persuading!

    According to the article the engine is a further developed variant of the traditional GT3-engine, with now 400hp at 7300 rpm and 400Nm at 6500 rpm, max. revs are 8200 rpm.

    Suspension is based on the Carrera's with the use of components of the GT3RSR-model. The Cup-car doesn't use ABS systems anymore to enable teams to use the car in other racing series also! Anyway, the PCCB system with 380 mm diameter & six-piston-calipers at front (350 mm/4-pistons on the back) is used the first time.

    I am positively surprised that they use a sequential gearbox now and wondering what the production GT3 will use! Advantages of the seq. system are the elimination of selecting the wrong gear and its use in the ALMS series - saves development costs and makes the drivers adapt easier in both series!

    Greetings!

    So? The Cup and Supercup cars are the same, aren't they?

    Of course it doesn't tell everything about the production version, if that's what you say!

    Yes, but you were scouped Christian! For once Rennteam wasn't the first to release the info.

    This is the price one pays for holding the info back until the official release date.

    No, this time it was the price for not reading my eMail for the past two days.
    But of course we sometimes have to follow the rules but on the other hand, we get information and rumors very very early and if people learn how to read between the lines, the information flows pretty early.
    BTW: didn't we show a picture of the 997 GT3 Cup first a couple of weeks ago? For the first time worldwide? You can't win them all, Stephen...

    What we're most happy about: our Users contribute with information and this really makes us proud. We want to thank all those Users who post whatever they put their hands on or whatever they hear at dealers, from Porsche officials, etc. THANKS guys!

    Re: 997 GT3 Supercup...New pics!!!

    RC, we will thank YOU for all the great efforts you put in this wonderfull community!!

    Rennteam is just...the number one!!

    Re: 997 GT3 Supercup...New pics!!!

    Nice! In the cockpit I like the steering wheel and the more technical console. They should do an all-business no frills console BUT with excellent materials on the base cars too - it should not cost more and it would look better. The same type of steering w/ a small airbag (like F-cars use) would be nice too.

    Light, small clutch...

    "Thanks to tailor-made gears, a single mass flywheel and the use of a 5.5 inch triple-disc sintered metal clutch, the rotating masses of the transmission are reduced."

    CGT owners complaining about the clutch should, not apply here either ;-)

    Yep, and just think how much fun it would be getting this track car through the DoT certification!

    This car has a smaller fuel tank than the '04 Cup car...

    the 2004 Cup Car has an 89L fuel tank. This new model has the measily 64L one. bummer!

    Not all. But I agree with the other commentators that Rennteam's batting average is pretty good.

    I also appreciate that you forgive my teasing you occasionally.

    Stephen

    Re: 997 GT3 Supercup...New pics!!!


    I wish they had deleted the fog lights completely i.e. smoothed that area into the bumper. It actually makes the bumper look strange in that area IMO
