BMW M6 is also expected to make appearance next year (built by Alpina). Should be great for the already sizeable FIA GT3 grid.

GT2 cars possibly have the upper edge on the suspension & electronics. Somemore, the competitors in FIA GT3 are mostly semi, or non-profesional drivers. The running cost for GT3 is also cheaper than GT2. One thing I noticed, grid size & marques variety in FIA GT3 Champ (GT3 cars) is way more diverse than the FIA GT Champ (GT1 & GT2 cars), creating rumours to replace GT2 regs. with GT3 regs. Most of the time you'll only see Ferarri vs Porsche in GT2, which suffice to say damn boring. Try check out fiagt3 website. Shame all-wheel drive is outlawed, would also love to see Nissan GT-R..

Didn't R8 can look so cool. I say they should make a road going version of it. Definately will kick ass (perhaps Porsche's GT3)? Wow, truly something especial. Didn’t R8 can look so cool.
