Porsche 911 GT3RS 991 Difference between the first half and the second half of 991

Design comparison of the first half and the second half of Porsche 911 GT3 RS 991

The other dayI participated in a touring where many Porsche GT cars gatherHowever, at that time, thankfully, I would like to see both the "991.1 and 991.2" of the "Porsche 911 GT3 RS", that is, the "early and late 991" models at once. it is complete.

I thought that such a thankful situation was quite naive, so I would like to see the difference in "appearance" between the first half of GT3RS 991 and the second half of 991 with the pictures of the two cars I took at that time. Masu ^^

Both photos are "Orange = GT3RS 991.1 (first half of 991)"so"Silver color = GR3RS 991.2 (late 991)"is.

The look on the front of the GT3 RS is quite different between the first half and the second half of 991.

First from the front.

Looking from the front ... you can see that the facial expressions are quite different. Looking around the license plate, the lines on both sides are facing inward in the first half of 991. And the design that the lines on both sides spread outward is the latter half of 991.

The same thing can be said for GT3, not just GT3RS, so I think it's an easy-to-understand place where you can instantly judge "early or late" at a glance.

And the shape of the light of this winker and the air intake part under it are also different.

Yes! And another obvious thing is the air intake port called "NACA duct" on the front hood ↓

If you look closely, the Porsche emblem on the front should also be a sticker in the latter half of 991, but for the time being I would like to see only the difference that can be easily understood ^ ^

Small differences on the side

There was a difference in the upper part of the front tire on the side, but did you forget to take a picture? !! I'm sorry, the side is at the top of the rear tire here.

At first glance, the shape is different ... compared to ...

When you actually see it in front of you, you can see it at a glance, but the late 991 model has fine fins inside. Isn't this so-called fin called "Vortex Generator" (= it is said that it has the effect of efficiently flowing the air stagnation (eddy) that occurs near the body to the rear)?

It is the yellow arrow part ↓

Rear wing, similar but completely different

The rest is the feather part.

Actually, the rear wing should be larger and taller in the late 991 model, but even if you compare both cars next to each other, if you do not look seriously, it is actually so much. did not notice.

That's how many GT3 RS feathers look the same at first glance, but ... take a closer look! There is an easy-to-understand difference that you will notice, "Oh, if you ask me."

First of all, the shape of this part is different ↓

And what is easier to understand is that the design of the part that supports the wings is also different, and although there is one line in the center in the first half of 991, it disappears in the second half of 991. Do you understand? ↓

This is here ↓ Is it easier to understand if you look at the yellow circle in the back rather than in the foreground? The difference between having a line in the center and not having it.

Finally, I would like to take a look at the rear. I can't say anything because I think I was able to shoot at exactly the same angle, but when I try this, it seems that the height of the wings is still higher in the latter half of 991!

By the way, the easiest thing to understand when looking at the rear is the design of the tail light, which is also the same as the difference between the first half and the second half of GT3 991.

And the rest is the difference in the shape of the yellow circle here ↓

The diffuser is actually different, but even if it is parked, I think that it is difficult to distinguish when running, so I decided that it is not something that can be understood at a glance. , This time omitted ^^

You can already distinguish between 991.1 and 991.2 of Porsche 911 GT3 RS ^ ^

No, the same is true of the previous "Difference between Cayenne and Macan (how to distinguish)", but if there is no index that can tell "A quick glance, it is clearly different!", I will distinguish models that are quite similar. I can't do that, so the opportunity to compare the two in front of me was really valuable and I was grateful!

And I would be happy if as many people as possible could "see the Porsche GT3 RS in the first half of 991 and the second half of 991 at a glance and be able to distinguish them."

picture? Do you know from the beginning? Do you know that? That's right ...

… Hmm, really, I'm sorry for the usual low-level story ~ (laughs)! !!
