Porsche 997 GT3 caught out without its makeup

Hans Lehmann, Super-Secret Sniper Extraordinaire has been at it again-- this time capturing Porsche's upcoming GT3 undisguised in full-on crimson war paint. Slated to be released in May of 2006, the hairy-chested variant should up the 997's (already generous) ante with a 3.8L flat-six pushing 400hp through a newly-developed six speed gearbox.

In case you couldn't figure it out from the blood-red heart attack seen at right, the GT3 is distinguished by its gaping air intakes, new rear bumper with center-exit exhaust, and the obligatory rear wing. For those paradoxical 'less is more' types with bulging pockets, a Cup version is also planned. One, please.
