Potent Porsche: 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 Spy Video

http://www.edmunds.com/insidel... only a few months away from the official launch of the 2009 Porsche 911, but recent spy video from the Nürburgring suggests that a refreshed version of the 911 GT3 will follow for the 2010 model year.Like the forthcoming 911 Carrera, the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 gets only minor styling changes this time around. The reworked front end has been simplified with only three air inlets instead of five, while the front marker lights have been narrowed slightly. Tape over the taillights indicates a few minor changes to their design along with the switch to full LED illumination. It's hard to tell if the spoiler is full production spec, but it's certainly high enough to carry the GT3 tradition.Like the Carrera, the 2010 GT3's flat-6 engine will benefit from the addition of direct fuel injection. The new technology will deliver an extra 20 horsepower in the standard Carrera, so expect a similar bump to the GT3's current 415-hp rating. Displacement is expected to remain at 3.6 liters.Although it's clear from the sound of the gearchanges that this GT3 prototype has a manual transmission, the introduction of the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch transmission in the standard 911 opens the door for inclusion in the GT3 as well. The new PDK transmission is essentially Porsche's version of Volkswagen's DSG, but whether it's up to handling the GT3's additional power remains to be seen.With deliveries of the 911 Carrera and Carrera S models scheduled to start this fall, sales of the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 probably won't begin until late next spring at the earliest.

i think porsche should have made more dramatic changes to the 2010 model. i still love the look of the carrera but the panamera is nat very attractive. the nissan GTR is not even comparable to porsche, dont even bullshit

Aesthetically, I think the GT3 doesn't look as appealing as it should. What are they thinking with those headlights on the Porsche. Totally ruining the image. Not only that, it can not beat the Nissan GTR, a car that is half its value. No wonder I don't see many Porsches on the street like I used to. What do you guys think?

Thats what many people said about the Panamera (Check my video of it) but I`m sure this will be a car with very impressive design.

its doesnt look as good as the current 997 gt3, but they have probably not finished the design.
