I think it looks more like the 'regular' GT3, too much perhaps.

"Too little, too soon" that's my comment. I am very disappointed.

The car looks great, but...
Did the new 997 GT3 even start selling?
20 kg less? I could loose that in 2 weeks if I wanted
What were they thinking? About the next quarterly report and nothing else?

That orange really fits the car...looks the best!
Maybe a green one should be awesome too...
But which green is on the new RS????

Agreed, i have to say i think the regular 997 GT3 hit the heart more then this, its not that exciting and hardly looks wider than a regular GT3!

I wonder what US pricing will be ?
I read somwhere else, the RS will be about $2K more that 997TT. For that spec, I think normal GT3 is a better buy.

I love it. I need to be able to drive my car on the roads and that means I want AC and I want a stereo. I think the car is fantastic. I could have lived without electric windows but whatever.. It wont distract from being an awesome car that will dust most anything out there.

I WANT HIRES PICS

I'm not that impressed with the fact of only 20kg weight loss over the Standard GT3. But i must admit im really excited to hear that North America will be getting it! and it looks pretty good aswell!

I saw an a '74 3.0 RS replica a long time ago in that colour scheme and it looked stunning. I'll be interested in seeing the green colour as well.

Madri, I think the black with orange will turn out really good and very Mean after that the orange and black would be my second choice if I was going to get a gt3rs
