We'll see, I wouldn't get my hopes up. The Cayman R didn't have a gt3 engine, in the artical its says "naturally aspirated engine, closely related to that of the GT3" which can be said similarly about the 991, Cayman/Boxster engines

He say me an hardcore interior and a puristic car and he say me not a GTS with a smile

Hoping they throw out the PASM dampers for an X73-type of analog suspension as well...

Talked to my local dealership yesterday and they don't know too much about the specs but they said they are all accounted for and be ready to pay a huge mark up if one becomes available. I guess they are offered to 918 owners first. Sound like these will be going straight to collections and will get very little road time

4.0 liter Engine
significant weight reduction / carbon fiber
Manual Transmission
2017 model year - 50 years anniversary of 911 R
only one color option
Limited production - 25 cars - same as original 911 R
....Very high price point - above anything we are used to in 911 world.... recommend to forget to get onto a list as all already spoken for....

Correct, 25 wouldn't even be worth producing on any level....I think we will see more than 1000, I think the "limited" part has been over exaggerated.

Find an MSRP dealer that didn't have any 918 buyers. One that has done enough GT3 and RS business to warrant a pretty good chunk of allocations. Go put money down now and you'll get one. It's possible...

Would it be correct to assume that this model will be the last NA 911 with a MT?
The 991 mk2 will be only turbo and the 991 GT 3 mk2 will be only PDK ...
Maybe I am missing something.

Stupendous speculation here! It is immensely entertaining! Just like with the 991 GT3,GT3 RS...there were " sources ",mostly from dealers...what the SA,finance manager,sales manager etc had dreamt the night before in his wildest dream,jumping from hot naked chicks to unicorn 911s. 
We have heard about flat 8 GT3s,unobtainable power and weight to KERS technology or Turbo engines.
Then you'll have " factory approved " sources engineers,designers,board members...hell even Dr Wolfgang Porsche might be an insider!
The pattern is pretty similar and consistent each time.
I'll take my cleaning lady " source " over the rest! Lol!
