.2 GT3 vs .2 GT3 RS motor
Not sure if this was discussed, but does anyone know the differences between .2 GT3 and .2 GT3 RS motor?
Both are 4.0 and RS makes 20hp more, but are there any internal differences. or is it all in the tune, intake, exhaust configuration?

So far, there have been no claims of any internal differences from Porsche.

The original article mentioned that Porsche would not say what the differences are. Speculation by the article is that the GT3 already produces more than 500 hp. This seems to have been supported by a recent post here of a dyno result of a GT3 vs a Z06 on the same dyno with the GT3 estimated at way over 500 at the crank.

Porsche has not said what the differences are yet. However, there is a much greater likelihood there are zero changes than there are any internal changes.
I’m guessing some sort of induction or exhaust changes.

Sure, there could be some small difference due to this, but I am guessing that the electronics are making most of the difference (Porsche likes to tailor the amount and shape of the power/torque to fit in a tightly defined space between its others models). If GT3 is making well over 500hp, then RS is also making well over 500hp and then 20hp (and 6 ft-lbs) more. There will always be at least the advertised additional power.

Does anyone have the torque curve for the RS that Porsche usually puts out? Here is the one for the GT3 -
Also does anyone know if the RS uses single mass flywheel vs dual mass for the GT3 (as the case was for 7.2 GT3 vs 7.2 RS)?

My guess,
Intake = BMC Filters
Exhaust = Titanium muffler
Tuning = More aggressive ecu mapping
But frankly, and this somewhat contradicts my theory, if their were no changes, it wouldn't make sense for the RS motor to be different on the assembly line, and I personally witnessed the .2 RS motor was labeled separately from the .2 GT3 motor.
