I am seeing the newly revised Porsche GT3R all over the internet advertised as 'UPGRADED'.

I still don't think I understand all of the 'upgrades' to this model.

From my understanding, it no longer has the dog legs, the lights front and rear have been changed and the front bumper doesn't have the mesh as the first version(I happen to like the mesh). Everything else is left essentially the same.

Are there anymore 'upgrades' to this model that I am not aware of?

As far as I know, that's it.

I think it's more 'revised' than upgraded, but I guess it's all down to how you define upgrade. :mine

That is all I heard about too.

It's called upgrade because that's what Autoart calls it, so everyone just uses their terminology...

I saw the old GT3R on Saturday (the UN-upgrade :giggle), but it cost the same as a upgraded GT3R, so I let it go. I think it was the dog legs that really stopped me from picking it up though, since it'll probably appreciate with the stopped production.

Didn't know the lights were different.

I too noticed the price is the same.

This is the only car market that I know where you don't have to pay for options :lol

:lol

The only "option" the real cars come with is an annoying sales person...

well, maybe AUTOart cost-cut in areas we can't really see? *shrug* Doesn't look that way though.

I don't think so, however, maybe the omitted front mesh grille is the cust-cutting part :lol
I think only the rear lights have been upgraded, they're the same as the GT3RS lights now, which look way better than the earlier GT3R lights.

The front lights are new on this model as well, they have DRM's unlike the first release.

I'll probably feel stupid after hearing the answer but, what is DRM? :confused

Don't feel bad, Tom... I was wondering the same thing. :giggle

I knew I should wait and save myself the embarrassment. :giggle

Where's Darrick with the answer. We're dying with anticipation here. :waiting

Google search for DRM: Digital Radio Mondiale, Digital Rights Management. I'm guessing those aren't it? :giggle

:lol

DRM or DRL- Daytime Running Markers or Daytime Running Lamps

The term DRL was made popular when GM released them on the 97 Corvette.

They were illegal in some states at the time, but for whatever reason, the Corvettes were still sold with them.

Here is a link with some comparison pics of the old and new GT3R posted by Gian.

Thanks Darrick. I must admit, I still can't see the difference in the headlights looking at the comparison photos. I must need to have my eyes checked.
