Default Will there be an RSR road car????

So I predicted the RSR chasis would find it's way to the showroom. So when will the RSR road car appear and will it be a GT car ala' 992 GT3 RSR sans rear seat with the standard chasis for a touring model????

You undoubtedly saw the post from Frank Walliser on Twitter. Here's the pic he posted.

A 918 VIP and large collector told me this Summer yes, there will be a street RSR, this was before I heard of any rumors. Going to be a bloodbath to get that car.

Yes, particularly if the street legal RSR also has the engine flipped to be mid-engined.

I asked Michael Steiner this at presentation this summer. He said no, that the GT2 would need some time as the halo car. His answer was pretty curt. I specifically asked him if there would be anything building on the RSR for the road or any other type of mid-engine Ferrari Fighter.

Well if this is true, they have to make it manual, at least a couple of them. If this news is accurate.

RSR manual is a little beside the point. No doubt the loafer drivers will scream for one, then ask for the touring edition RSR. Lol
