Rumour has it the 991.2 GT3RS will be numered. Can anyone confirm ?

Every car is numbered....with a VIN

jo_ker

i guess it will not be numbered.

but there will come a model on top which will be numbered.

Rs 4.2 Cup special final 991 release will be numbered.

If it exists ?

jo_ker

correct.

i forgot to add a big ? in my post above. i heard nothing from cleaning ladies till now regarding a new "997 4.0" ... but i guess it will come.

You think it build a 991.2 GT3 RS and a special edition like "cup edition"?
I have doubt for two versions...I think just the cup edition and it go to the 992 platform? no?

That's what I'm thinking also. The market is already saturated with .1 RS's and soon to be GT3's. Plus they're running out of time if launch is intended to be Geneva. That gives a production window of only 6 months before the 992 bows.... and they'll be busy churning out GT3's and GT2 RS's during that window...

It is customary to overlap models from 2 generations for a model year (at the start of a new generation). Has been this way since 1989 (last year of 911 3.2L and first year of 964 C4 - examples same for 993, 996, 997, and 991)

One way to keep 991RS prices high is to build a smaller number of 991.2 GT3 RSs - Porsche might want to that for the many thousands of owners.

I wonder if that will be feasible going forward as Porsche volumes have climbed since that time. Manufacturing two generation of cars concurrently cannot be very efficient unless they are produced in separate factories.

GrantG

Doesn't seem to be a problem for them - they've figured it out. There are far too many 991 variants forthcoming for them to stop them before beginning the 992 builds. It is virtually certain that Model Year 2019 will include both 991 and 992 generations. That happens every 7 years...

And one way to generate more profits is to build more 991.2 GT3RSs.

I think Porsche had that chance and they filled it with the R.
