It is just like the model. I really like the look- was hoping I was gonna hate it a bit more. 991 GT3 is a beautiful car.

I would imagine those are escape paths for hot air channeled from the radiators...

I love it! Those front fenders are so killer, now I just wish they would spill the beans about the engine already. 3.8? 4.0? How much power and torque?

If they do not 4.0L, They better have something else up their sleeve to make this thing desireable beside fenders and scoops....

Agreed...the engine needs to be differentiated from the standard GT3, particularly if the purchase price will be nearing (or above!) $200k for the car.
