Guys, I doing some research at the moment and I was wondering, if anyone can tell me are there any external differences between the Clubsport and Touring models for the 996 and 997 GT3's? Cheers, Geoff.

Thanks for your reply..... I have seen some cars with coloured wheels, but assume they are not original. Probably repainted to look like an RS version. Cheers, Geoff.

Hi Geoff, I can say with certainty that the 996 GT3 (neither clubsport or touring) had the option of different coloured wheels, so anything you see on a 996 (other than silver) is an aftermarket job. Black wheels may have been an option on the 997s but definitely nothing to do with clubsport or touring designation. Any other colours on a non-RS car would be aftermarket. Hope that helps. Cheers

Think he's just talking about 996 GT3 club vs touring and 997 GT3 club vs touring. Not 996 vs 997.

Nomex bucket seats, roll cage (including front half but not fitted), 6 point scroth harness (not fitted), fire extinguisher and preparation for battery kill switch. Touring came standard with the same seats, but in leather. Electric leather comfort seats were an option on the Touring cars. 996.1 CS also had single mass flywheel as opposed to dual mass in the 996.1 Touring. 996.2 CS and 996.2 Touring both had dual mass flywheel.

^^^ what spiller said + the mk1 CS also have internal battery isolation switch and no airbags to the doors. I believe mk2's have the door airbags to both models?
