485-490 hp rated 3.8 l mill for marketing purposes, pdk w manual option, center lock with 5 lug option, is my guess

I like the front bumper. Interesting way to have the car leaked, I wonder if it is one of those viral marketing deals or if someone just got "let go".

I am hearing the same with the RS as a 4.2 ltr..

That rings true, but I also think it's possible that the 4.2 could be a limited going-away edition, similar to the 997 RS4.0. If true, this would be for the 918 VIP's almost exclusively...

Very GT4 in front, diverges from the design cues started with the 997 GT3. GT4 front looks great, but the two cars are coming closer together, will be hard to tell them apart coming at you.

No worries - most people will be watching the cars pull away from them

New colors, new infotainment, manual will be reasons to upgrade for many.

Engine is the main reason for me. Whatever they will introduce, will hopefully be better than current unreliable crap that can not be trusted.

Am I the only one who wants this to be true so my car appreciates?

No, my thought is that these dual intakes replicate the scheme used on the 991.1 RS, but without using side intakes from the widebody. Just different way to plumb the intake air into the dual filters of the 4.0L motor.

Quite possibly but I seriously doubt they'd put the 4.0 engine in the regular GT3. Bearing in mind the issues with the 3.8... I think they'd go turbo for the .2's They did it on regular 991.2's.

I'm going to stick my neck out and at this point think it's turbo!
