GT Spirit Porsche 911 (991) Turbo

Post by David » Sat Sep 13, 2014 12:57 pm

While Minichamps' 991 Turbo (yes, no S) is a great modelcar, it looks less refined than its the GT Spirit counterpart. Just look at the LED headlights, it just puts to shame what Minichamps did. I'm not a big fan of the plain silver wheels, I will probably do something about it. Regarding the paint, I have to admit, I like the Achatgrau better than the Rodium silver.

I wish they made a 991 GT3, in white with the same LED headlights found on the 991 Turbo. It deserves something better than Minichamps' POS. :(

Perforated grills?

Too bad. The M3 GTS has them so, I hope the next Porsche's grills are perforated ;)

I really like this model for the fact it really does look like a real car in the photos.
GT Spirit nailed it. Your photography multiplies the effect.

Thanks, guys!
@Dave: I'm holding the upload of the 1M pictures as I don't have decent pictures of the front. :(
@Rinty: As Dave said, no perforated grills. No big deal since the real car doesn't have grills. GT Spirit's BMWs are much more refined than the Porsches, that's for sure.
@Sanchez: That's what I love with GT Spirit. I can't wait for the 997 Speedster. :shock: :shock:

awesome set of pics, David...as usual.

I passed on this, as I do have Minichamps version. This color isn't my favorite & the I prefer the Mininchamps Turbo S wheels, but the execution by GTS looks top notch.
