Absolutley mindblowing...now that's what i really want. No awd fuss, just "simple" rwd and NA engine. Absolutley fantastic. And at a way lower price then the turbo but of course slightly slower on straights. I don't care i so much want one...OMG!!! And it's white also. Porsche people knew what they knew when they decided to launch it in white...

3600cc engine
415 bhp at 7600rpm
405 nm at 5500rpm
(*AGAIN WHAT I SAID IN OTHER THREADS: SIMILAR BHP/TORQUE FIGURES IS THE KEY! )
a shocking 1395 kilograms weight
0-100 4.3 seconds
0-160 8.7 seconds

What more could you want from life??? I so gotta have this car. Just got to...I don't know how yet but i have to have it.

Very nice car. The rear spoiler looks a bit too prominent for a daily driver. Can you see the RUF'ish design?

similar ratios to the m3 and new m5. I personally dont care about horsepower , i only CARE about torque torque gets you accelerating... you know class A WRC cars have 280bhp and 600nm of torque... and do 0-62 in 3.8seconds

Yeah almost like my diesel Really now, those are different cars...way too different. But in a way i understand your point...you should have givven me a better example a merc or smth...
i've been thinking and i do think also that this car should be too much for a daily driver...simply because it's almost a rack car, and if your a daily driver, you'd have to have the best roads in thw world to really play with the car, and a few tracks around the city to give it the bees on weekends. None of wich i've got there. So maybe the turbo is the better option after all...

GT3 is a stripped down light weight bare bones track car. Definitely go test drive one before you buy it because that car is rough all the time unlike the regular Carrera S models or the new turbo models. My friend bought the last version and he sold his after a year because it was to rough and harsh to drive even for a fun day on the weekends. If you track alot that car would be the best for that. If you plan on having only one car for commuting and fun you are going to hate it after about 3-4 months. I agree with you that white is the perfect color.
