Default 2015 GT3 RS

Looks like the 2015 991 GT3 RS is going to have the the 4.0 L engine again.

Questions:

1. What would be the MSRP for the 2015 991 GT3 RS?
2. How many units are they planning to produce?
3. Do you guys think the price will go up like the 997 GT3 RS 4.0?

Thanks

If you are trying to covertly state that it will be FI, I sincerely doubt it, but you seem confident.

:-) i told already a lot anyway fantastic car i would buy 1 to beat anyone on track , just have a look on GT3 GT3 RS laptime difference at Nurburgring , how can be possible?

My feeling is that 991 GT3 and RS will be the zenith for 911 era

next era will be just driven by politically correct burocrat robots
as if the sport car would make any difference in world pollution issues

here is not technology the point as in the last evolution from MT to PDK but next 991 successor will be just for political reasons in that way * my opinion is that MT is just for nostalgic and PDK is way to say improvments is here
so a 911 with PDK is even for that even more "pure" than 911 MT*

hopefully the Users will say a word changing the not so good horizon ,
look small niche compsnies like Lotus or Caterham getting more and more market grip

cross fingers..and enjoy your superb GT3 and GT3 RS i will do the same

All of the previous 3 RS cars have had same displacement as the 3 (except the special 4.0 obviously!) so it would make sense if it were 3.8.

But the HP gain will not be much without an increase. However, it will have different intakes, exhaust, ECU which will make it more powerful. And it will be lower, stiffer, wider tracks, wider tyres, a lot more aero and lighter, all of which will make it faster.

fxz, we all know the upcoming RS will be 3.8 and NA and we also know the next Gen is most likely Turbo's. What else can you share with u that we don't know already. Come on, spit it out.
