I think it is odd that Porsche released an RS version of the GT2 without releasing a standard version alongside it. Anyone think the same way? I hope Porsche decides to add a standard GT2 to the lineup for the 992 variant.

It’s all about marketing.

One could argue that the TTS Exclusive is a sort of non RS GT2 as it fills the performance gap between the TTS and 2RS.

Maybe because of supply and demand? If Porsche can make only let's say 2000 GT2 and GT2RS in total, they might as well just make only GT2RS since they can charge more for each and the market will take it anyway.

If they charge 100K more for an RS than a regular GT2, that is potentially 200 million extra dollars going to them.

Yeah why not Porsche? How can you have the RS version without the regular version like it used to be? What's next then a convertible version?

PAG knows what they are doing. Turbo Exclusive is the the 991 GT2. They limit that one to make VIP's happy to get a numbered car and they don't limit the 2RS which they make more money on. This makes perfect business sense to me.

Only if there was a way to turn off the FWD (like BMW and Benz)...

Base GT2 would be a cool car. Definitely a missed opportunity.

My guess on why not is because either a) their current lineup is just too dense (only so many of these $200k+ 911s they can sell), b) they've priced everything so high that they think there's really no more room or gap for a GT2, c) they want to make more money on the GT2RS, or some combination thereof.

"Exclusive" is just a bloatware cash grab. No cool factor like the GT2.

With 20+ 911 models available right now, what's one more?

Exactly. No doubt they could easily do it if they wanted to. Just a marketing decision.
