at Joe's request, I'm starting this thread! let's have all the links, pics, info, rumors, and lust for the latest and greatest Porsche!
here, courtesy our friends at Car Magazine in the UK, are the now widely circulated spy shots: Porsche 991 GT3 RS (2015) snapped by Instagram user | Secret New Cars | Car Magazine Online

of course, there will always be critics. mental illness is still a serious issue. Opinion: Why the Porsche 991 GT3 RS doesn?t excite me | Total 911
fortunately, not everyone at Total 911 is nuts! note that in these spy pics from last spring, the front fenders don't have that elaborate duct work. crafty Germans. Exclusive: Porsche 991 GT3 RS spy shots | Total 911 Image Unavailable, Please Login
I can't believe the person taking the recent shots in that garage didn't get an interior pic!! Really hoping they make this in stick as rumored.
one of the more interesting details is the "Zagato" style roof, which Porsche claims is done for increased headroom for drivers wearing helmets...although I'm sure it's carefully sculpted to direct air to that massive rear wing (yes I realize this pic is a scale model...but it's the best one I could find highlighting the roof) Image Unavailable, Please Login

depending on whom you ask, manual transmission is either: - not happening at all - will be an option - might be an option - definitely is an option - is the only gearbox available. buy into the rumor you like the most my suspicion is it will be PDK only.
Might be my age but these cars are getting huge, and wheels look too big. Prob will grow on me as usual but not quite as pretty anymore, ehh.?
yes, the 991 is much bigger than early 911s. such is the world we live in, a combination of legislation (crash test requirements) and customer demands (more performance AND more comfort). bigger wheels house bigger brakes to slow down all that mass nice photo comparison here: Porsche Announces 50th Anniversary Celebrations For The 911

Bravo on creating something which benefits other people! Now comes the not-so-easy part, maintaining it. See those thread buzzards circling overhead? Most threads die in short order, unless the OP consistently furnishes it with useful text, helpful illustrations and quality images. I have three threads (GTO, Miura, Countach) on FChat with over a million views spanning up to 8 years running, and as with all good things, it takes nothing less than dedication. Look on the bright side, it'll keep you out of trouble
Those are 991 GT3 wheels. The production version of the 991 GT3 RS will have even bigger 21" rear wheels.
The recessed plane is also a styling theme running from the front hood to the trailing edge of the roof. Image Unavailable, Please Login
It uses the current lightweight racing seat, as available in the 991 GT3 and the 918. Image Unavailable, Please Login
