From our friends at Jalopnik, we have our first pictures of the 991 Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
Ostensibly the most hardcore 911, the new GT3 RS will undoubtedly be purchased by those more interested in the image and marketing narrative of the Porsche brand than exercising its capabilities on track. Tell us why a GT-R is a superior performance machine, or complain about the lack of a manual gearbox in the comments.

- Lorenzo People don't want EVs, they want inexpensive vehicles. EVs are not that. To paraphrase the philosopher Yogi Berra: If people don't wanna buy 'em, how you gonna stop 'em?

But when it comes to Porsche, I honestly can't tell the difference between this years model and the 2010 model. Im sure it drives amazing, but the slammed VW Beetle styling and the "door handles are an extra cost option" brand model doesn't speak to me.

The smart money and the factory connected envision this: 4.0 liter derivation of 3.8 liter GT3 engine producing 500+ hp PDK-S only Turbo wide body (with intakes repositioned to rear fenders - in place of the inlets on the turbo - a la RSR race car) Strong emphasis on aero and downforce (witness extractors in front fenders) Magnesium roof Big debate over inclusion of RWS
