Default Surprise for RS.2!

Was told there would be some very cool surprise by cleaning lady on the car. I asked if this was manual or 4.2 and got no response but that it was a good one!! Curious as to what it might be? Last 991 with a KERS front wheel boost???

Maybe Porsche will use old 991.1 tails on this car as per the spyshots?

Just kidding. Can't wait to see what it is! Maybe a Weissach Package?

I'm etching this here: 4.0 L.....

it just doesn't make sense (financially speaking) for Porsche to pump all this money/time/effort to develop a, now proven, race engine and to not use it in the RS--but then turn around and develop a completely new and unproven engine?

....but hey, I could be wrong

Not sure Weissach package would qualify as a cool surprise. First, it is expected. Second, its very high price for value makes even less sense than on 2RS (particularly in US where we get no cage) as a percentage of sticker price.

I bet it's some technology we haven't seen before (in order to be surprising)...

I am guessing 4L, 530hp, 9k rpm, manual option with slight visual tweaks.

Plus, I would not want those Magnesium wheels. So expensive to replace if ever a problem. Fingers crossed they wont make this car another GT2 RS like edition where only a few people can get one.

Unfortunately the better the surprise the more difficult it will be to get one.
