Walter behind the wheel as well. Nice.

The most important Porsche this decade.

It's not exactly pretty.

Well spotted. Rear wing is barely visible, if that is the tip of the rear wing peeping out ever so slightly. Looks smaller / different to that used for the Aro kit, but most likely just the angle.

It would be if the 918 was priced along side it, but its 3 times the price. Or were you referring to the GT3? I imagine the 991 GT3 will struggle matching the performance of the 458 / MP4-12C.

I hate to go all "Facebook".

But

O M F G that is a nice looking bit of kit.

I'm not so well read on what's behind it, is this going to be a new Le Mans challenger with road car homologation?

I'll wager a 991 GT3 won't lap any slower than a 458..
It will be 100bhp down, and in a straight line wont be as quick, but it won't be any slower over a lap.. I guess we will see soon enough..!

Ok, I have not followed this lately. But I thought that non-hybrid 918s would be 100 k€ less than 458.

3700lbs on paper according to Porsche, so potentially close to 4000lbs delivered?
$850,000/£675,00 price tag.
IMHO the 918 is a total joke. Buy your Carrera GTs now.

The 918 is full hybrid and around £700-800k mark.

GT3 has adjustable rear wing and I'm certain Porsche will deliver in all areas...

CGT is the perfect investment.
