Super cool that a manual will be offered if this story is to be believed

What a purist sports car this will be.

And your first clue that this story is only based on speculations we here at RL can do......First, manual will not be able to handle the extra hp/torque they mentioned, at least not officially from Porsche, as we do know it can.
Where do they get this price? If it happens believe me it will be more than $25k over the GT4

That would be a car I would pay a reasonable ADM for if it arrives in a manual.

And you know this how? A lot of the price will depend on what equipment will be included std, what other improvements it will get, etc., etc., etc.

Just adding my 2 cents about this future model. My Porsche center confirmed to me that the GT4 RS was scheduled for 2021 and I've been invited to disccuss about pre order as from now... Whereas no price can be announced yet. They also talk me about a new "GTS" using the 4.0 engine. Very weird at this point. This is a small center in my area so we are easily talking about that. I don't really know if I'll be able to pull the trigger, mostly beacause of the high C02 taxes which should be added on the bill. When I purchased my 981 GT4 in 2016, this tax was 8k euros. Nw it jumped to 10.5 k and in 2020 it will be 13k euros.. In 2021, there should be no maximum level for this tax, and it might go to 18k for a GT4 RS... France taxes everything they can and the CO2 war is clearly opened, we all shoyuld drive a Prius soon .

If I can help on this topic, I'll let you know about news to come! Regarding that in 10 years, all Porsche should be electric, excepted the 911 wwhich will remain Hybrid, this GT4 RS sounds to me like the last Samurai .

Look for the "Carfection" interview video with Andreas, at Goodwood, on the GT4.
