    Thanks for the post - I expected the wing to look more like the 996GT3RS...

    Re: 997 GT3 RS - Spy pics

    Like I posted on Flat-6 when these pics were posted; what is the difference with the GT3? I can't see the diffs...
    BTW; these pics are posted on the site of a dutch dealer, stating that these pics were emailed to them by a good customer, and that officially, they don't know anything... strange story, isn't it?

    The color on the rollcage appears to be "Mint Green".

    To my understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong), the 997 GT3RS should have a wider body and be lighter weight.

    Re: 997 GT3 RS - Spy pics

    Tezt posted with the pics stated that the car will probably be available in colors of the old RS's... mint green, maritime blue, signalgreen... uke: hope it will be available in white with red striping as well!

    Re: 997 GT3 RS - Spy pics

    why is that one out already ?
    it has a cage inside and aczually looks like it has been raced.

    honestly just looks like a regular 997GT3.

    probably a mule/pre-production tester?

    My idea... can't seem to find the differences, except for the mint rollcage.

    To me it looks just like one of the prototypes they used to test the GT3. Don't think is the next GT3RS!

    Re: 997 GT3 RS - Spy pics

    This is a regular GT3 with the ClubSport package, the GT seats (mandatory with the CS package) and the PCCB brakes.
    I quickly saw the RS on the Weissach track and it has a large rearwing but it was too fast to tell if it has the wide body.

    I'm not sure. The pics have the matt black sills below the doors of the widebody. GT3's don't have that.

    Sorry-no it didn't...only under the nose. Under the doors it's different.

    Re: 997 GT3 RS - Spy pics

    I agree with you, this rear seems wider than the one of the GT3, but it is the GT3 rearwing and the RS one is different...
    We will see...
