Revealing the same design as the 2009 Porsche 911 facelift, the new GT3 was caught during some testing.

For the moment it is not clear if the vehicle you see in the photos is the GT3 or the GT3RS. The car unveils same front splitter, same nose-mounted air-vent and central exhaust but the difference comes from the big rear wing which is the same from the current RS model.

I doubt the rumoured 450+hp figure, especially if it stays atmosperic. I think it'll be more like 430-ish. But if somebody can do it, it's probably Porsche.

Only furthering perfection...

Far from a POS.

POS never. There's a reason why they are still so popular and respected. For 40 "effin" years of perfection that rear engine never had to move. Porsche is an independent company so if it was a POS no Porsche sports car (Boxster or 911) would be still around right now.

Appears the front turn signals and cooling vents are changed. Would be interesting if they went with the center exhaust configuration. Wonder if they are going to change the rear air escape vents as well...

I'd like note that someone commented on the oversized spoiler on the LF-A.

Anyone see the picture above?

Thanks.

Is the RS version. the non-RS GT3 does not have the roll cage.

In the non-RS GT3 you can get it as an option i believe.

I noticed a few differences from mine. The front intakes are enlarged, and the lower valance is different, unless its disguised.

Its as close to a perfect car as you'll get, in my opinion.

Nissan can't even beat an old 996 GT3 in the current One Lap of America.
