clearly NA and manual, listen at how much each gear lasts..."symptom" of the usual ultra-long ratioed manual gearbox

Sure looks like things are pointing to a NA PDK/MT 992 offering. What will the signature updates be from 991 to 992? A little lighter, slight design refresh, active aero and 50 hp more? Throw in a sub 7 Ring time and maybe a 10k RPM engine?

Sounds great/NA to me...but man, I thought it was a fast and furious Mitsubishi Eclipse at first sight from the rear. Granted there are 30 pounds of black tape on the black colored car. Either way a good sign for the 992 IMO and a bad sign for flippers

Yeah, but at least we still know the 991.2 3RS will be the last RS ever made with an NA engine and a green stripe wheel option. We can count on that as a store of value.

Write it down. I'm making the call now!

Interesting... if gt3 will go straight to hybrid. VW, specifically, Audi has already developed the mild hybrid system, so it is a matter of pluging it into the 911.

RS goes Turbo to appease those that could not get the GT2, plus, care also more about lap times and the GT3 and GT4 remain NA. Next GT3 will get the 20 hp bump, small low calorie diet, but rev limit remain 9000. The catch here is those that have seen the 992 have really liked the styling with the wider hips and the interior really gets a kicker so will be a nice refresh for the 992 GT3

I must be the only one that is not convinced that sounds NA. Certainly does not sound like the 4.0 IMO

4l w/ filter. Would be surprised to see any hybrid or turbo for mk 1 of the 992 gen.

Possible active aero rear wing and up front? Explains the RSR/R looking rear wing.

That would drop Ring times most efficiently, while keeping 9k 4L and minimal weight loss and be a sensational “upgrade” to push sales.

A lot can be forgiven if the 992 GT3 is NA with a 9K redline.
