The wing is really due to the car's primary function, it's really built for the track and it's about as close as you get to a real track car which could arguably double as a street car. The graphics are traditional, they've always had them on the RS (and these definitely turn them up to 11!) although I think the graphics can be deleted. Main benefit of the RS over the "standard" GT3 is weight reduction - the car is stripped, and a lot of $$$ goes in to "adding lightness".

that's right - I'd love a GT3 RS, but I don't have the luxury of dropping anything remotely close to that kind of coin on anything other than my main car. I'm definitely interested in the Panamera - although the new 2010 911 Turbo is catching my eye right now too. As is the GT3.... And the M5... And the Quattroporte... Well - you get the jist. So many cars - and nowhere near enough money!

For now, I am happy with one nice one that can do it all. That's where the 550 comes in -- a great all around car

Question remains: Is it still drivable as a daily car, considering not everybody lives in places with nearly perfect roads or near tracks ?
