It will be hard to spot the difference between the new and the old as the images reveal. This is because most of the planned changes will be taking place under the sheet-metal.
Power levels should receive the same 435hp (320kW) boost as the new 3.8L GT3. In line with the changes in the facelifted Carrera range, the engine in the updated GT3 RS will also sport bigger combustion chambers, a new crankshaft, an upgraded oil and water pump, and possibly direct-injection technology as well.
Acceleration times over the current model would likely be improved if Porsche adds its new Doppelkupplung dual-clutch system, but a conventional six-speed manual is likely to remain the only option given the intended purpose of the track special.
The GT3 RS will also once again based on the Carrera 4 body and should feature the same widened track, carbon-fiber interior and plastic rear window as the current model. Styling updates include new LED daytime running lights, revised taillights, a cleaner front end with larger intakes in the lower skirt, and a new lip spoiler. Expect to see the new model make its debut at September’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

those wheels look awesome, not sure about the exhaust though, it just doesnt look beefy enough, it looks like the mini s, maybe bigger pipes would do it.
