BLASPHEMY!...Another Porsche...meh
Because it wouldn't be a Lotus?you were saying we knew that it is the SU7 Ultra but how do we know for sure? Maybe I missed something so I’m just wondering.
Really not seeing how folks looked at that comparatively smoother hood and think THAT is the Lotus Emeya.
Every update it seems like there are one or three absurdly stubborn people who just have to argue about known facts regardless of evidence. “I see and hear all that but I still don’t believe it.” They’re always proven wrong and still probably don’t believe it. Nothing anyone can do for these folks.Unfortunately the data miners have access to the exact content that's in the update and Famine is also aware of said data.
There is no guessing anymore except for the speculation of members on the forum
“Little did we know then that having three DBRS9s on that very first GT3 grid at Silverstone would be the start of an incredible 20-year journey with both GT3 and SRO,” Lemmer reflects today. "It is only us and AF Corse that have been present continuously within the SRO GT3 world since, and it’s been a privilege to be part of it.
“While the formula has changed a lot technologically across the years – cars are now faster, more complex and more demanding – the spirit of competition and the thrill of the racing remains as bright as it has ever been. That can only signal great things for the future of GT3, as interest and audiences continue to grow.”
The numbers back this up. Taking the example of GT World Challenge Europe, the 2025 season saw record grids in both the Sprint Cup and the Endurance Cup, the latter including a monster 75-car entry for the flagship CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa. GT3 is also booming in a host of other SRO series around the globe, as well as the FIA World Endurance Championship, IMSA, Super GT, the DTM, and many others.
While it is now awash with professional drivers – don’t forget that Max Verstappen has raced a GT3 car this year – the formula also remains popular with the semi-pro and amateur competitors who were so important to its creation. Indeed, it is this variety that keeps GT3 thriving two decades after its launch. From the best driver on the planet to those who race as a hobby, it manages to offer something for everyone.
To mark the 20th anniversary, SRO has joined forces with classic motorsport specialist Peter Auto to launch the GT3 Revival Series. Beginning in 2026, this will feature cars from the first eight years of the category, with an emphasis on amateur competitors ensuring an even closer connection with the founding principles of GT3. The anniversary will also be at the centre of next year’s CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, which will include a GT3 Legends race. It is a testament to the category’s longevity that contemporary and historic series exist side by side.
From national series to the biggest GT race in the world, there is no shortage of opportunities to see the fruits of the work that Wright was part of 20 years ago. Indeed, GT3 and the concepts that underpin it feel more relevant today than ever before. That is a remarkable legacy and one that looks set to continue for years to come.
Extremely likely. New to GT7 cars seem to have had good customization - the Ford GT gets WEC position lights, the Audi R8 LMS Evo gets Evo II wing and diffuser, the AMG GT3 Evo gets endurance driving lights. I'll be more surprised if the Porsche doesn't have something similar than if it does.Quick thought about the Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) coming in this update 👀
With the Spec III game update, PD added the Ferrari 296 GT3 and allowed an Evo upgrade via GT Auto.
Do you think the same could happen with the 992 GT3 R?
A base 2022 version, with a possible Evo upgrade based on the 2026 spec available in GT Auto?
I don't think I said "we", nor did I say know/knew:@Famine: you were saying we knew that it is the SU7 Ultra but how do we know for sure?
I just asked if it would be helpful to the discussion if I said that it is.Would it help any if I were to say that the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is in this update?
Like I keep saying, the screenshot COULD be incorrect because, it is, 100% NOT the SU7. The nose is the give away. The car under the cover has distinct notch, where the SU7 has smooth nose.@Famine: you were saying we knew that it is the SU7 Ultra but how do we know for sure? Maybe I missed something so I’m just wondering.
From the shape of the alleged Porsche, I first saw the Pikes Peak Tacoma, but I admit I'm very bad at this guessing game.

While I'm pretty sure I have been - I remember the Suzuki VGT Gr.3 foxed everyone at the time - I'm also not saying anything for sure either.@Famine is never incorrect when it comes to the cars coming in the updates...
I was just wondering if maybe it was not the su7. But with the image you just gave us, I fully agree with you: it is the SU7 ultra.I don't think I said "we", nor did I say know/knew:
I just asked if it would be helpful to the discussion if I said that it is.
If it helps any further, as far as I'm aware - and I'm sure others may know more than I do - it is, and it's the car at the front-right of shot (the other two are - again, as far as I'm aware - the 2022 GT3 R [not the 2026 season Evo revealed in August] and 2022 Elantra N TCR) under a tarp that doesn't fully show off some of the precise details and lines - but what it does show seems just fine to me.
I can see the point about the ADAS pod, but the proportion looks fine for the angle it's at (and besides the car has been through a couple of iterations so it may have changed; there's a variant with big hood scoops as you'll see below) as it gets rapidly narrower the further way from dead-on you get. The dark line on the nose that's getting some attention appears to just be a reflection or a lighting glitch, as it follows the perpendicular crease almost through its middle.

I recall saying back last May/June that I wouldn't expect it before November/December, so that wasn't a bad guess really.
Some nuance please 😅I don't understand why everyone chooses to disagree with him
There's a Gr.3 Daily Race literally every single week, to be fair.![]()
Can't wait to drive the GT3 R and in this week too where there's a Gr.3 daily race going on.
It also marks the end of Porsche update drought - no Porsche was added in 2025 (the last Porsche in update was the Mission X in November 2024).If anything, the 911 GT3 R, coupled with the fact that Porsche are the defending Manufacturers' Cup champions, means a huge morale boost and makes them the favorites for this year.
Also another fun fact: the 911 GT3 R will be the first RR Gr. 3.It also marks the end of Porsche update drought - no Porsche was added in 2025 (the last Porsche in update was the Mission X in November 2024).
🤔It smells like a lot more positivism is floating around. It's good that a racing game is focusing more in racing in general and less on economy-oriented family cars...
