Default my take on GT3, GT4, NA, MT

GT3 will remain NA and transition to a hybrid setup skipping turbos ala 918 in pursuit of laptimes

manual option 991.2 GT3 as the final MT swan song

GT4 will fill the MT void to satisfy enthusiasts



Lets keep MT, NA, and the steering feel alive.

The irony with the hybrid vs turbo debate is, I believe, hybrid systems add more weight than turbos would.

Going to be very interesting to see which direction Porsche Motorsports goes in. Especially given their extensive expertise with turbocharging.

I actually suspect that in the 992 world, if they do go turbo across the board it'll be called the 911 GT (merging the GT3 and GT2 line) and the 911 RS (just like how it was named before the 996 generation).

There is talk of a MT RS. If so then I would expect a MT GT3.

I hope so considering the 991 PTV PASM RWS 9k rpm Electro Steering etc electronics with a MT is inconsistent useless fake retró idea on the wrong product Buy a 993 !
