Race car will be under lock and key until the LA Auto Show and I would assume the same will go for the road car. For now we wait like kids on the eve of your birthday!

Pretty sure that Porsche stated that the 718 CS would have a minimum 3 year life at its launch in Sept 2019 for the 2020 season.
I’ll try to find the source. It might be that we see the car next year 2022 and teams will have it for 2023 season?
But I’m expecting to see announcement this year, even if no deliveries until next year.

I hope you're right but that happiness is dependent on getting an allocation... and I'm not super optimistic.

So.. if you had to say if this trends towards a ho-hum RS upgrade or a "holy crap!" RS upgrade... which way would you say?

Ho-Hum 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 Holy Crap!

RBR saying the RS has "Up to 500hp"

It's still speculative but i'll stand by my call that only a miracle will give it more than 450 from the factotry.

Not again. How many of those wish lists are going to be posted by those wannabes trying to get their count up?

Geez.

A few pics from a fellow Rennlist member and 2021 Spyder owner who came across these mules near Guanella Pass, CO about 10 days ago.

Drove by a test mule GT4 RS today in SoCal. Made a video of it on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CSSpo...dium=copy_link

Interesting that there are still two different treatments on the rear window vents on the two cars.

And in this shot you can just make out what looks like how the vents are set up in the back of the car to get the air to the engine. It doesn't look too intrusive.

Few things I noticed from this:
1) The first car has paddles on the wheel. The one in the back doesn't appear to have them, but that is likely angle of the photo more than anything.
2) 991.2 style steering wheel, so none of the stupid buttons like the 992 GT3 wheel
3) Car has Cup 2Rs, probably +10 front and rear for 255/35/20 front and 305/30/20 rear. I can't really tell, but maybe the cars have 21in rears like the previous GT3 RS' have.
4) I can hardly tell, but it seems like the venting for the side window intakes goes directly to the engine bay, and is not routed around the back ( in the trunk area behind the engine ) as seen on the BGB and BBi cars.
5) Car has the 992 GT3 buckets
6) This one could also be angle, but it seems like the first car ( in the first image ) has it's wing sitting higher up than the car behind it. Maybe the 1st car is the Weissach car and the one in the rear is the standard one. That would also explain the difference in side window intakes between the two cars.

Super peculiar about the two different kinds of window air intakes.. I'm thinking it's going to be called Manthay Pack.
