最近谍照记者拍到了没有任何伪装的保时捷911GT3敞篷车。最初看上去，该车会被误认为是911Speedster。不过仔细看会发现，它的引擎盖不同，该车明显采用了取自标准版GT3的更为平坦的引擎盖，而Speedster的引擎盖更具雕刻感。车尾可以看到，GT3采用了接合非常完美的车顶，搭配普通的行李箱盖。而Speedster则采用完全不同的后盖，形成了独特的Speedster特征。GT3敞篷版与标准版搭载相同的4.0升水平对置六缸引擎，功率373千瓦/500马力和后轮驱动。该车并未配备尾翼，估计是用一个主动扰流器所替代。该车在低速行驶时，敞篷收起，吸引力进一步提升，同时可提供更大下压力。另外，该车的顶蓬机械结构也将进行改进，毕竟这已经是这一代911的最后一款车型了。预计该车将很快发布。

 

Porsche 911 GT3 Cabrio Spied On The Streets Without Any Disguise

A couple months ago we spied a very similar looking Porsche to the one featured here. At first glance (and possibly a second and third) you might be tempted to say this is a prototype of the 911 Speedster, which we’ve seen in earlier spy photos and most recently as a one-off concept going up the hill at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Unless Porsche is going to some added lengths to confuse us, however, this is not a Speedster but in fact a straight-up 911 GT3 Cabrio.

 

For starters, the hood is different. This car (pictured on the left) clearly wears the flat cover from the standard GT3 versus the minor sculpting we’ve seen on Speedster prototypes (pictured on the right). The dead giveaway comes from around back, where we see a neat-fitting roof mated to a conventional decklid. The Speedster of course has a completely different rear cover to give it that iconic Speedster look.

 

Being a GT3, the Cabrio should have the same 4.0-liter flat-six making 500 horsepower (373 kilowatts) going exclusively to the rear wheels. The big wing is obviously missing, which we suspect is replaced by an active spoiler like what we’ve seen on the Speedster. That would certainly make for a more attractive top-down touring machine at slower speeds, while still offering some much needed downforce should that power be exercised. There’s always a possibility, however, that mechanical tweaks could be in the works. After all, this should be the absolute last hurrah for the current-generation 911.

 

Of course, we know a Speedster is coming, but does this latest batch of spy shots mean it will coexist with a GT3 Cabrio? It sure seems that way, and it would certainly make for a fitting swan song to the 991-Series Porsche before the next-generation enters the scene later this year. Considering this car is running around with no camouflage, we expect to hear something official on this model very soon.
