    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    that would be the RS wing i suppose.

    something is lacking on this car. the fl rear lights look to tame with the rear wing. just doesn't look right to me.

    I like the rear wing, A LOT !!!!, and the rims too, but may be the mk1 wheels look a bit better.

     its going to be the king of the track.

    I agree... it just looks a little weird.

    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    are those rear wheel 2 inches bigger than the fronts?? They lookg huge IMO. 3/4 front shot shows the rears sticking out... i dunno about that.

    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    Seems like they simplified the design of the whole car. I like that! However, the front is still a bit cluttered. The effect is now that the rear bumper looks MASSIVE, but that could also be because of the different color. Overall: Big thumbs up for me!

    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    The design is obviously much simplier but I am not sure how I feel towards it. It isn't radically different from the original although I am not terribly keen towards it either.

    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    Can somebody please photoshop this to a one-colored car? I am having difficulties whether the weird looks come from weird design or just from the fact that this car has two colors...

     Looks good!

    ...and as we will see the press announcement soon.Smiley 

     


    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    I don't know what to think. Maybe with another color would be better. The rims are not bad just hope they will be better then the one actually in 19 with Michelin cup so people don't have to get 18 for a better track use.Smiley

    Geez, not sure if I like the wind design...

    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    Not sure about the wing but much nicer then the MKI wing. Sort of the same way I feel about the 996 MKI wing vs the MKII.

    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    the car looks brutal, nice pics! it seems to have the cup grill installed and the GT2 seats. I am very curious how much "better" it might drive...

    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    I would like to know what engine in this car.

    GT1 or 9A1?


    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    It has the new, DFI engine.

    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    Car looks very final. GT3 is now finally off the car configurator. I guess we see the introduction of the GT3 MKII soon.  I could imagine press info early January, first deliveries in spring....right for the season...

     

     


    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    Funny! Porsche kept exactly the parts in black that appear to be modified over the Mk1 version. Interesting to note, there is an opening in the rear fender between lic. plate and engine lid, covered up in foil.

    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    Its funny to see how porsche have pulled there usual lazy design philosophy!

    996 GT3 mk I... Wiggle spoiler design... 996 GT3 mkt II... More standard big horizontal wing

    997 GT3 mk I... Wiggle spoiler design... 997 GT3 mkt II... More standard big horizontal wing

     

    Anyway, prefer it to the Mk I however if / when I get around to taking my very own 997 GT3 mk I or II the first thing I would do is swap out the rear spoiler for an RS item which looks so very much better

    Joost,

    Here is my amateur attempt at black:

    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    Not amateur at all...looks pretty pro to me...should try the other pics from different angles...


    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    Thanks for helping us with the pics.    I agree with some that the design does not appear to be as cohesive as the original, but facelifts rarely do look as cohesive as the original.   However, it  may grow on me, especially if the mechanicals are significantly enhanced.

    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    I have to dissagree with the above. I think most times the face lift looks better than the original. Just my opinion but I think the 996 GT3 MKII looks much better than the MKI.  

    I almost think when they design the car they then make a few changes to insure the next version looks better.

    Rich


    Re: 997 GT3 MK2 new pics

    Here's my attempt of the rear in black.  I much prefer this FL to the 2008 - especially the front end. 

    I am starting to prefer the 997.1 tail lights to the 997.2 - I felt just the opposite when the .2  first came out.  I guess that will happen when you look at this stuff too much.

    Any way, here is the rear:
