Porsche 997 GT3 RS Update Spied

The good folks at AutoCar caught the updated, mind blowing GT3 RS making rounds at the Nurburgring.  It’s expected to hit showrooms next year and have Porsche’s new seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission, officially presented as Porsche Doppel Kupplung (PDK). The German car makers strictly paddle-shifting system. We can expect to see a new, redesigned front bumper. An R8 style LED driving lights as well as LED tail lights on the new GT3 RS. Engine wise, it should get a nice kick where it counts, adding an additional 40bhp than the current 410bhp, bringing it Porsche’s lightweight track star to 450bhp.
