991 GT3 RS spied inside and out virtually undisguised

Porsche News · 21 Oct 2014

Prototypes of the 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 RS wearing Georgia plates have been caught on camera in United States.

The upcoming 991 generation GT3 RS has been spied numerous times but these are by far the best shots of the model as it was wearing minimal camouflage. The more aggressive body will include an extra air intake at the front, a huge rear wing at the back, side scoops, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, yellow brake calipers, a central dual exhaust arrangement and a bubble roof.

Although both cars appear to be painted in black, most likely they have a body wrap as in one of the pics a prototype has the door open showing an orange hue which will likely be the launch color. Inside the cabin are a pair of body-hugging lightweight 918 Spyder seats with "GT3 RS" letter
ing on the headrests while behind them there's a massive roll cage.

Rumored to post a 7:20 'Ring time, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is expected to come with an upgraded 3.8-litre six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine developing as much as 500 HP (368 kW). This hardcore variant and the 911 GT3 are believed to remain the only naturally aspirated versions in the 911 lineup as the rest of them will adopt turbocharging next year when the facelift is programmed to come out.

Looks like a load of gaffer tape!

.... covering a double bubble (a la Sport Classic etc)

Most obvious from this view (follow the curves in the light)

Have a look at the door in the second picture... Blood orange?

GT4 · 21 Oct 2014

Some sort of NACA ducts under the bonnet?

I suspect that the rear spoiler may not be the one found on the final version

GT4 · 21 Oct 2014

It probably will be.

No point in running almost completely production (and the only remaining minor details stickered up), to leave a major (aerodynamic) functional item off the development mules.

Reckon they've sorted the engine out now? :hand:

Funny I was just thinking that. I really hope they have the balls to launch this car with that industrial looking Cup style wing. Would look great on track and out of place on the road.......

one of the expected launch colours

Heated rear window - so not polycarbonate. Much gaffer tape on the bonnet too.

Probably US spec car. All RS in the US to date have a glass rear screen, no cage either although these two do.

The wing will stay i'm sure.

With the possible exception of the roof : precisely as expected...
