Mk1 Porsche 911 GT3 (997) - The Purists' Choice. (Exterior)

In Part 2 of Desmond's GT3, I'll take a look at his Porsche's exterior bits. Upon closer inspection, there were many areas of worthy mention. Scroll down to enjoy this macho German with subtle hints of JDM flair.

Humongous calipers to provide assuring stopping force ...

... aided by lightweight Advan RS rims, tipping the scales at only 8kg per rim.

These all-weather tires are the cream of the crop ...

... sheltered by front fenders with only a two finger gap

Subtle additions scores in the detail department

These Michelin Pilot Super Sports grips much more than the PS2 ...

... according to Desmond, and we can absolutely see why.

BBK tilts down in a 4 o clock position to provide a lower Center of Gravity

Side indicator lights flushed with the fenders courtesy of German architects

The shield that exudes supreme confidence

One of many bits that keep the drag coefficient to an impressive 0.29

Something for Nakai to work on, perhaps?

Enclosed to prevent foreign particles from intruding

He's capable of terrifying any passerby with his distinctive Boxer note

Carbon fiber mirrors met a fresh coat of lacquer just a couple of days back

Possibly one of the few chrome touches on the car, with this taking center stage

With a rear biased weight distribution of 62% ...

... aerodynamics will be key to keep the GT3 glued to the tarmac ...

... like the subtle boot lid spoiler that does wonders at high speeds

Stickers were done by DFM

He needs some cooling down under the sweltering heat

We need X ray vision now to visualize this wonderfully balanced chassis ...

... over and above the trademark double tail spoiler

All these needed to transfer all 410bhp downwards

Red brakes to complement the matching seat belts

Can Desmond's GT3 convert non Porsche fans? Definitely so

I need to visit Zuffenhausen to see how they manage to pull off this work of art

What an experience. I'm left speechless.
