Well, 2010 till now was pretty much the same generation of cars, so of course prices stayed rather stable (with a few exceptions like the Bentley). It's the new generation of cars coming on line for next year that are a considerable step up. The manufacturers claim that this will be balanced by lower running costs, but I've heard many people being rather skeptic about those claims.

And then there's the issue of high-five-figure upgrade packages that seem to come out every couple of years. SRO has somewhat cut down on that, but that is usually only good for one year.

So as you may know, the Viper will be ending production. What will happen to their GT3 cars I don't know, so let's hope they get a long grandfather period.

All cars (except the VDS Mustang) are homologated until at least 2019.

You're wrong. He asked about GT3 cars. Not GTE. Not IMSA GTD. FIA GT3 cars.

Two or three days ago Car Collection posted a more detailed press release, but I can't find the link to it.

IMSA: Riley/Keating 2x
PWC: Stan Knox/Lone Star Racing + Tim Pappas/Black Swan Racing
Supercar Challenge: Rogier Grouwels/Team RaceArt

Guessing the one that might show up in Super GT is Pappas' his car?

Btw, Grouwels still owns one of the original C5-R's and it's been brought back to - what looks like - its original livery! Too bad he doesn't race it anymore...

There was an additional car at Petit for sale in their paddock space that was in all carbon still. Don't know if that was one of the cars you listed or an additional chassis.

If i remember he used it last time in 2014 Dutch Supercar Final

Courtesy of DSC. No big surprises other than Aston having more cars on track than I would have guessed.

Having some fun with the exotic/rare models based on Coach Ep's Viper post. I'm assuming that any GT3 class car that showed up for any race this year was counted.

Jaguar: BES
Caddillac: 2X PWC
Camaro: AusGT, ADAC GTM, (?)
Ginetta: AusGT, BritGT, (?)
Lexus: 2X VLN, SuperGT
Ford: ADAC GTM, VLN, GT Asia, (?)

It looks like the NSX Hybrid GT3 has the backing of ACO/FIA.

What a surprise!

rich07 · 6 Dec 2015, 06:09 (Ref:3595830)

I dont think hybrids in FIA GT3 is a good thing especially with a lot of GT3 cars being run by privateer teams, there are the factory backed teams like WRT but they dont have to worry about being able to afford to buy and run the cars as such. And hybrid technology doesnt come cheap.

Theres no reason why Honda cant run the NSX without the hybrid system

TF110 · 6 Dec 2015, 07:17 (Ref:3595840)

You can buy a hybrid for $30k. It doesn't have to be super complex and expensive. I think the street NSX will be cheaper than a Porsche GT3. Maybe Honda gives hybrid tech support to customers without much extra cost?

Okay, but if you can show us the source, that's the time that I'll believe in you! Nevermind, I found the source:

I'm glad that the class is moving forward. Now it's up to GTE on doing the same.

Renault Sport RS01 Trophy with GT3 package making its debut at Abu Dhabi in Gulf 12H (albeit around 8 seconds slower than in original trim...):

Well well well what do we have here? From tenther Sam Collins via Racecar Engineering magazine..

Meanwhile Jaguar will return to international GT racing in 2016 via a new organisation, Browns Lane Racing which will use the aged Jaguar XKS-GT3’s built by Apex some years ago. This is thought to be a toe in the water exercise while a proper Jaguar GT3 car is developed, possibly under the Lister-Jaguar brand.

Lister’s concept GT car was revealed earlier this year – Browns Lane racing are thought to be working on a GT3 version)
Jaguar’s SVO department is believed to have built and tested a GT variant of the F-Type but may be waiting for its new hybrid GT model to be released before running that in competition.

Well this is mighty interesting.

Hybrid (electric) F-type or the 'hybrid' (combo) Lister/Jag?

Looks like they're waiting to see which one they use. Wouldn't be a true Lister without a bloody big V12 in the front.

MagVanisher · 18 Dec 2015, 10:27 (Ref:3598567)

@rich07
I would like a successor to the Lister Storm (with V12 and all). But then again, a V12 engine wouldn't be competitive unlike 15 years ago.
