Porsche 911 GT3 RS to get 500bhp...
Spy shots reveal new GT3 RS, due next year. RS will get wheels and tyres from 918 Spyder and levels of downforce to match a “race car”
Gnil:
It looks fantastic
What do you think are those lines on the hood and roof that we can see under the camo ?
I spotted those as well; running all the way from the front bonnet, over the roof, into the engine cover where they line up with the recession made for the 3rd brake light.
I'm sure marketing department will come up with some beautiful language convincing the world that it is for added longitudinal stability or so,... Though I guess it's more for aesthetics... looks very pretty though if you ask me!

Those lines concern me. What possible value could they add. Why would they change the shape of the bonnet and roof? This is a 911 and those parts should be standard across the range. Other than that the car looks great!

It could also be camo that covers up a recession like the 997 sportsclassic had on the roof...
Exactly! I hope not. We don't need sculpted lines on the car. The shape is a classic. Fender flares, wing and front aero parts are fine. Don't mess with the core lines please.

The last RS had a lower top speed as well due to drag, same power though and same gears I believe. This will be an interesting car. Can also use the rear tires to Steamroll new asphalt! What are those ? 335?
Both 3.8 and 4.0 RS models had lower gears than GT3 (but I thought 6th gear was adjusted to provide Vmax that was close to theoretical maximum). 3.8RS had 15hp more than GT3 and 4.0RS had 65hp more than GT3 - I was under the impression that the RS cars were as faster or faster than GT3 in Vmax...

Look at the inside of the rear wing tips - you can see what could be the actual wing tips in a curved form, and the rectangle ones could just be camo stuck on top to hide them.
The front aerodynamic add-ons look more interesting. Note the boxed structure ahead of the front wheelwell-this is a variation of the front flicks, but also create controlled flow across the rotating wheel. BMW has introduced a similar concept on its cars including the new X5!

That has been obvious from the first spy pic, no? Hence the turbo intakes.
