991.1 GT3 body
Narrower tires
Weight savings
No aero wing
LWB
3.8 GT3 engine
Manual
No rear steering
Special interior fluff
Special exterior fluff graphics
Limited edition #/#
Priced between GT3 and RS with huge $$$$$ market adjustment
My guess .... What the hell do I know?

My source the cleaning lady approves! 
She also told me she heard the word around the factory that Singer will be part of Porsche soon,just like AMG joined Mercedes in the 80's! After that,all the special edition will be made on 964 bodies and their price will go down to around 120-130K.
Who's in?

Let's not get crazy now. I'm not that far off. I'd say 90% right. I will look back at my predictions at a later date.

Singer will have a tough time when the market/economy tanks. Will ride the wave. Until then.... Long live excess and market adjustments.
Some will call this 911R a "parts bin" manual. Don't doubt me.

Porsche needs Singer like they need TechArt.
Singer needs Porsche like Twisted Sister needs Iron Maiden.
Look at some of the company some of you guys have sitting next to you at the bar

I hate to disagree but what is so special about a 991.1 that should justify the extended production into a car that will be a 2017 model with a 991.1 body that a 991.2 won't accomplish with a NA engine? If you then say "no it will be a 2016 model".......it would be a little odd celebrating a 49th model year anniversary vs waiting a couple more months and celebrating the 50th anniversary?
Example, 2005 turbo, 2005 GT3 were both 996 along side of 2005 997 carrera in showrooms.
2013 997.2TTS along side of 2013 991 Carrera in showrooms for that model year.
Porsche love squeezing out every last drop of a production run.

Maan,please allow me to get on the sauce a bit here : Imagine if Porsche built a modern suspension 911 on a 964 body,with the GT3 engine in it and a 6 speed manual transmission?! That comes with a factory warranty and a reasonable price!
Would it sell?
