The 2017 Porsche 911 GT3 was spotted testing at the Nurburgring track without any camouflage and on its final stage of testing, allowing us to get a good look of the design changes the new 911 GT3 will have including a new rear bumper, redesigned tail lights, and a facelifted front.

The updated design somehow makes the existing 911 GT3 and GT3 RS look fussy and even over-styled and the new look should have been the perfect look from the get-go. Along with the redesign, the new 911 GT3 will also be available in a manual gearbox which has been the request of many Porsche fans ever since, according to AutoCar.

The previous test car photographed last month still has heavy camouflaged that hides the addition of the front bumper and the only thing that can be seen are the new defenses located in the body. Now without any camouflage, the 911 GT3 is seen to have large air intakes and thin daytime LED lights at the front vie . Other important details that are still hidden are the final optics which are not yet exposed as it is hidden under a semi-transparent vinyl. However, it slightly shows that it will have the styling of its predecessor.

From the rear view, the 2017 Porsche 911 GT3 surprised people with the removal of the extra air outlet located under the engine cover and the new fixed rear spoiler, a detail that persists respect to the previous model. The new rear bumper and diffuser now show simpler lines that do not detract prominence to the dual center exhaust outlet the following hovering in the same way. The optics of the rear acquire the embossed design on the body as the latest models, Porsche.

As with the engine, mechanical improvements will take place on the new 911 GT3. Its propeller is expected to be improved considerably with a power outlet that can reach up to 500 bhp approximately. To be yet confirmed is that if any downsizing will take place on the model, but fans trust the judgment of the manufacturer in this area.

Also, according to Autoblog, it is confirmed that a manual transmission will finally be available, although many owners prefer the dramatic change of double-clutch PDK that makes the 911 faster and more efficient, sales figures always show that a manual transmission is the much-preferred version of Porsche cars.

The launch of the Porsche 911 GT3 2017 may take place later this year or early next. If we are lucky enough we might get to see the new 911 GT3 at the Los Angeles auto show this November, \ considering that Porsche loves to show off in the past years of the auto show.
