NS2,
i guess there will not follow a limited edition. at least nobody heared or saw anything till now. Or?
a 991.2 speedster with NA 4.0 will come...
edit: Metzeger was faster
but please don´t say "last NA"...
but thinking about it. yes. could be
next GT3RS could become hybrid - as the 992 GT2RS will be.
GT3 could stay 100% NA.

Hmmm, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?
I’ll wait for official release to pass judgment and I’m sure lll buy one regardless. But I’m less hot and bothered for this car than I have been for a gt3/RS in a while.

Beautiful color …hope it looks good even in the flash and it’s not a washed out version of gelbgrun (as they did with lava and miami versus tangerine and mexico)
Slightly underwhelming under the bonnet…but in line with usual RS evolutionary pattern along Porsche GT3 history (997 4.0 was a unique case) as already stated by Others.
I think nevertheless that they could do more for a final (and limited by what widely discussed) edition…moreover in the case of a NA swan song; could this be prodromic to the release of a second tranche with filter? I mean…they limited this one in order to get the same figures with the particulate filter and avoid avoid any issue with clients along (eventually extended) production.
Or maybe they simply left room for further upgrades in the 992 series?

I already have a 1.RS and MT 2.GT3, but if my dealer gets me an allocation at MSRP it will be hard to turn down, especially in that lovely green with matching green bits inside. Have to admit though, it would be tough to let my 1.RS go...we have become best buds with all the fun track days we have had together... Decisions

Also can’t believe there is still speculation on NA in 992 - we have as much evidence as we will ever get short of a press release that 992 goes turbo (from same source who confirmed GT3 Touring significantly in advance of the press release).

Love the green. But, I really hope they don't recycle the decals on official launch. 1) as a current 997.1rs owner and 2) as a future 991.2rs owner. 3) it's just an admission by Porsche that they are out of ideas and recycling decals from the last model (not some tribute from 50yrs ago) is LAME.

That seat fabric looks a bit weird also. Any ideas on what it is?
