Spied: 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

evilm, what production based car can you name that can compare to this "POS'" racing success?



24 Hours of Le Mans

"Additionally, Porsche works drivers have earned dozens of class victories in GT2 class, most recently Marc Lieb and Mike Rockenfeller together with privateer Leo Hindery in 2005, **the 7th consecutive class victory for the Porsche GT3 R/RS/RSR family**.

"In **2007 the new Porsche GT3 RSR (Type 997) continued that success. With a six-lap advantage over the second-placed Ferrari, the French customer team IMSA Performance won the GT2 class."

POS I think not.

You on the other hand...ehh.. lets not go there.

Porsche is a wealthy company who has a good history in the automotive industry. If they were such POS I don't think anyone would be buying them.

You call a Civic a POS but you also call a Porsche a POS. You obviously don't drive anything so shut up and when/if you have something decent to say then speak.

You and your different usernames aka alter ego's are getting annoying. Only teenagers use "POS".

Autocar will not be the only site to have the 997 facelift images as Porsche willlift the press embargo on their update.

I doubt this is the GT3 RS because it is rare that images of the RS comes out before the GT3. Historically the GT3 debuts several months earlier than the RS. Dating back to the 996 GT3 MKII, there were spy pictures of that before the 996 GT RS. The same goes for the first 997 GT3.

I am sure this is the GT3 facelift utilizing a similar wing to the current RS. Even the wing doesn't look as wide as the wide-bodied RS.

Porsche is the benchmark of all sports cars, well done Porsche for giving our existence on earth a Porsche to admire/drive or own.

Porsche's true performance engines are inside the turbo/GT2/GT3 models, which use a common engine block that is completely different than the standard Carrera/S/Targa engine.

The turbo/GT2 engine is nothing more than a GT3 engine with a turbo system attached. This engine is made to last and last and last - this is the engine that runs in Le Mans and the one you really want if you want to really benefit from Porsche's racing heritage.
