991 Porsche 911 GT3 testing in Spain

Porsche 911 GT3 prototype spied in Spain

A trio of barely disguised prototype 991 Porsche 911s have just been spied in Spain. Two of them appear to be the next-generation 911 GT3. The front splitter, centre-exit exhaust and rear wing being the most obvious styling cues.

It looks as though the new GT3 will run 245/35/20s up front and 305/40/20s at the back. Apparently all three test cars were fitted with PDK transmissions, featuring paddle shifters on their steering wheels. Please, Porsche, don’t make the GT3 a PDK only option.

According to the Porsche engineers, who were kind enough to chat to the photofrapher, the GT3 mules were running regular steel brakes with six-pot calipers at the front and four-pots at the rear.

The test posse were testing on local roads before heading to the Circuito Calafat for some track action.

So, any guesses as to what the third model 911 in the fleet might be—a Carrera GTS perhaps? Maybe not.
