Well...there you have it. I still wonder about that black car at the "ring" which no one has seen again...believe is an aero test mule for the CS.
At least I now know I will get my GT4 with a PDK.

IIRC there was a PAG stance similar to this in regards to the 981 GT4. PAG is a master at misinformation/redirection.

Yeah I wouldn't trust their interviews either. They want you to buy a GT4 now and then trade in for the RS when it's announced

Would be very surprised if a GT4 RS came in manual. The RS formula is very simple - tweak the latest platform to give ultimate performance. Also for many the RS formula doesn’t deliver a liveable car. There may be nothing better than an RS but they’re not for everyone.

Default Want the 6spd

If the RS is manual, I’m in. I’ll spec it and do Euro delivery as most likely the last new Porsche sports car I’ll ever buy.

GT4RS is definitely happening. My dealer principle has seen renderings at a private Porsche meeting. The also showed off 992 GT3 at global dealer training for Taycan in Barcelona last month.

Whatever the spotted car might be a track only car, several members were confirmed this GT4 RS to happen by their Porsche center, me included, with opening list discussions engaged... I should be called once they have further details on prices, specs etc..

I haven't heard any info when it would be shown. Anyone have insider rumours? I doubt Geneva 2020. Maybe fall 2020?

This is the main problem with 99% of all the info posted in this thread...it's based on the people that usually don't have a clue (dealers...not well connected members) and will say things just to keep you on your toes in order to make sales.
No one has seen the black car again and as a fellow RL member here says...Porsche is the master of misinformation and misdirection. From experience, dealers are just clueless most of the time on what's down the pipeline.
Hey...but it doesn't cost a cent to dream and there's a very small slight chance the RS may happen.

Take a slow selling model, make some minimal changes to an existing hot version of it, charge a huge premium, add an option to not paint few panels and throw in a badge for even more money, screw up logistics so the option is not available on Mondays, Weds and Fridays... And watch people run over each to give you their money.. same time get great press and win few coty awards. Porsche would be raving mad to not do a RS.

When is 992 GT3 coming out? Late 2020 or 2021?

Will be announced at Geneva show in spring 2020. First deliveries to Europe that summer, then to US in the fall of 2020.
