Very nice. I just think that grey is a bit ‘safe’ for my taste, but horses for courses! ;) At least you have yellow stitching and calipers! :)

Yep - it was specced with no yellow at all, until I realised it was boring rather than understated!

I’ve seen a photo with a MASSIVE rear wing!! Looks like it was designed by a 5 year old. :shock:

Too OTT in my very personal and individual view.

If you're a track rat, then bloody marvelous. This is what you've been waiting for. All power to you, possibly literally.

If you're popping to the shops, or need a fast road car for a weekend adventure, then maybe the GT3 (Touring) is what you need, sir.

Agreed. I know the GT3 RS is track-focussed, but that car with cartoon wing would look ridiculous anywhere other than on a track!

I completely disagree Simon, it would look ridiculous on a track too! 😂

Ha! I hear you. However there's a hardcore group of individuals who are already anticipating it. And bloody great for them! I wouldn't buy one, and I agree it looks like a cartoon, but great that Porsche still makes cars like this.

I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum which is why my ideal car is an understated Touring, which no-one recognises unless they're in the know.
