Interesting thought - guess it makes some sense as the 992 Carrera S uses 20’s and 21’s already...

I'd rather take a power cut with a proportional weight drop than the opposite...
I tend to agree with you, any power performance will be incremental, and NA based, certainly based upon the empirical evidence we have seen with the Speedster and the 992 GT3 mules ... the powerplant
will be the 4.0L (perhaps with some minor changes) including individual throttle bodies and particulate filters (using the current 7sp PDK-S). I think that if a turbo and/or hybrid setup was planned we would have
already "seen" prototypes already.

more likely the RS will be incrementally faster, w/better R rubber and aero, I would be surprised if the car got much, if any lighter (or smaller) ...
