No turbos for GT cars is what he told me. NO manual in RS ever. I directly said "are you serious, 992 GT3 with 3.8 TT?" and he laughed and said not over my dead body. Conflicting info from what others reported. Maybe he meant RS. I also asked about a KERS boost on 992 RS and he also said no. No Formula 1 interest even in light of the continuing of the engine guys building the 2.2 liter twin turbo v-6. Also I asked about 960 in WEC. He said they are waiting on the next set of regulations but agreed the hypercar route for LMP! would attract a lot of manufacturers.

Can we expect: (?)
Improved calibration of front and rear steering
Improved chassi: Other spring rates, ball joints?
Other under-the-hood-improvments?

WP seems silly to me anyway. And dislike the interior graphics of it even though the performance and lightweight stuff is cool.

IF what above is true regarding the .2 RS; I see very few trading up their current .1 RS because I do not see that much of an upgrade. But- the ADMs will still be stupid because that is the market these days

No
And in Europe it would be: No (We normally do not have markups but long waiting lists.)

If it's only bold new graphics and 20 more hp. I will keep my .1 RS. Who can feel 20hp? I bet there is more variance among the manufactured engines than that.

IF indeed 420hp from the same 4.0 as in the GT3.2 and obviously the aero upgrades, some less-weight benefits. and trim changes since it's an RS after all.... then I would have 2nd thoughts of trading back in my GT3.2 which is an already fantastic car for both street & track.
