Re: 992 GT3 Touring...
That top picture doesn’t look correct compared to the look that Chris Harris had with AP (front vents are body color, except for a very small part at the leading edge...

Yeah, you are right. It is a render.

Re: 992 GT3 Touring...
The GT3 up to now resembled the Carrera with Aerokit. Only Porsche enthusiasts could distinguish between the two looks-wise. The RS versions have been much more individual.
From what we see above the 992 GT3 follows a unique style much removed from the Carrera models. This differentiation is a very good thing and together with the bespoke front double wishbones will make the new GT3 an even more desirable sportscar.

Indeed, as Grant says, it is just an unofficial / speculative render of the new Porsche 992 GT3...

Re: 992 GT3 Touring...
Gnil:So which disks will be the ones used for the production car ?
Ceramics, buddy
I could never go back to steels. I take the stone jam risk between the inner rim and callipers at the front.

Re: 992 GT3 Touring...
Gnil:Steel will be the standard. Good enough for us lower on the food chain
But, the real question is if they are replacing the ones with the holes for the above ones or not ?
Well spotted, but we do need the ones with the holes in, right?. Look nicer

Re: 992 GT3 Touring...
We don’t need the looks , we need disks that don’t crack after a few track days !
One of the main upgrade people do when tracking their GT’s are the break pads and the disks.
No problem with pads. You can use many different ones. But with the disks, no.
Only the original ones are allowed by Porsche. The problem is that they are far from the best when using the car on tracks. They get cracks and when these cracks go from one hole to the other, they are done. Good cool down lap helps but is not enough.
The other disks, with the grooves, don’t crack and last about 2 times longer.
Many people use them but they are not “approved” even if they are actually used as standard on the Cup cars.

Well, looking at the presentation with Chris Harris, the brakes are still drilled rotors...it is indeed the weak point of this car as you cook the rotors so quickly unless you keep repeating cooling laps after 2 or 3 laps...annoying.

Re: 992 GT3 Touring...
I recall the articles last month mentioned them being dimpled not fully drilled. if this is the case they will last longer like the slotted rotors. I would imagine we are only talking about the new front rotor however as the rear I think will just be the same 991.1/2 GT3 rotor. Luckily they already last around twice as long as the fronts....

Well, looking at what Harris presented, they look exactly like the 991.2 version. Difference is the caliper is positioned a bit lower on the front.

Re: 992 GT3 Touring...
The new front iron rotors are 408mm - that is big (2mm smaller than current PCCB) - particularly if dimpled instead of drilled, they will last a good deal longer. Should last longer even if not dimpled (since there is so much more metal for heat sinking).

Re: 992 GT3 Touring...
Hi Dave. AP said in the interview approx same weight. I believe they have used a lighter bell. Agreed dint need more stopping power though with the larger tyre patch, wider track and new front geometry Im sure it wont go amiss. best result will be rotor longevity from larger thermal mass as Grant said...

with chance, it is compatible with 991.2

The brake bias would be off with 991. The larger diameter gives more brake torque, so the bias would be shifted to the front axle too much (unless you use larger rear rotors also).
