GT3/RS does NOT have to go turbo, they have cars to compete with those, its callled a GT2/RS and a TT/S. Even automotive publications know this and is making the shift. Not sure why this is so hard for people to understand. The market clearly shows demand for NA and they will keep producing them. Porsche will keep producing NA homologation cars as they are still committed to NA motors for customer racing programs, as they are exponentially less expensive to own and operate, especially in endurance settings. They aren't going away anytime soon. It's that simple.
People need to start understanding that just like way back in the early 996 gt3 days, there was no direct comparing cars.....we are once again heading in that direction. No direct peers for the gt3/rs and its fine. Great in fact. Porsche sees the vacuum and is filling it.

This is where my money would go on a bet...
My sources (unnamed) indicate:
.2 GT3 is a 4.0. Manual option. Hp and Torque just shy of RS. Delivery's fal 2017.
.2 GT2/RS? reveal late 2017 early 2018 with delivery available in late 2018 for 2019 model year.
.2 GT3RS reveal spring 2019 available late 2019 for 2020. Told will be NA but still don't buy it and think its a PAG head fake becuase by that time it will have to be TT to keep up with the public market competition. They may stay NA for World Challenge/FIA etc with the help of BOP regulations but I still think their public consumption cars will be TT. Compeition is becoming overwhelming: AMG GT-R, Macs, 488, New ZR1, Nissan GTR, BMW M4s. Even within their own family the Porsche Carrera S and GTS are TT now nipping at the GT3 NA heels.

But the GT4 was revealed about a month before Geneva 2015 (3rd feb)
so it might have been configurable at that point.

Mclaren Ferrari Mercedes Ford went turbo next is electric hybrid - 918 P1 LaFerrari tech will all be passed down.
If you don't like hybrid suggest going and grabbing the last of the great NA engines.
The market shows every factory including F1 going turbo and electric. Ford Raptor with a V6 trust me it's over!

My first post on this lovely forum.
Regarding .2gt3
It will be in the configurator 21 february.
World premier 7th of march Geneve.
Deliviries some time during -17 may be as late as november even though one can be in the ones first who sign contract.
I do not have a cleaning lady (although i like the idea)
Seems weird to have it configurable before geneve launch.
Looking forward to participating here.
