Porsche is deffinately one of the most successfull supercar brands driving around our streets. Due to this you see a Porsche at almost every corner of the street but the guys in Stuttgart managed ones again to keep the brands-name attractful. Porsche prepares to unveil a facelifted version of the 911-series. Spies from Autocar have caught the next evolution of the GT3 RS model testing at the Nürburgring. This one is expected to go on sale next year while the updated version of the more ’standard’ 911’s is expected within the next few months. The GT3 RS will get a serious engine update and some rather small-exterior updates.

The RS is expected to offer 450 bhp, which is 40 pieces more than the current model. We found out that the GT3 will get a new seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission, called Doppel Kupplung (PDK). It’s a paddle-shift-only unit. Other new touches include LED brake lights and Audi R8-style LED driving lights, set within a redesigned front bumper.
