991 Saga continues: Porsche 991 GT3R Testing

A new Porsche 991, most likely the fattest, but also one of the lightest to be available in somewhere in 2013, is one for the trackday purist, it is the 911 GT3R!
The 991 model range started production last year with the Carrera models, as usual. The Carrera 4(S) models followed just months ago. In the meanwhile Porsche was doing multiple testrides with the coming 991 GT3 that will be making it’s debut somewhere at the end of this year or beginning of 2013. With the arrival of the new GT3 in sight, it is time for Porsche to unleash the stripped out racing version 991 GT3 R on the testtrack.

The previous version of the GT3R, the 997, weights about 1200kg and has a power figure of 500HP. So what can we expect from this new beast?  Hard to say, but there’s little doubt  it will shed some weight and have some more power then previous models. What we can see from these photo’s are some interesting aeroparts on the fenders and bumpers. Sure most of you would agree, it looks menacing! I’m sure it will be a thrill to race with as well! Enjoy the photo’s.
 
And, this is Nismo’s 550HP  new race car developed in line with FIA GT3 regulations, It will be an interesting battle.
