Any confirmation on whether it's limited production?

There is a point where the front air ducts are too big. These clearly are too large for the style of the car.

New 911 GT2 RS with 700 hp, rear-wheel drive,
racing chassis and rear-axle steering
Porsche unveils the most powerful 911 of all time
The fastest and most powerful road-approved 911 is ready for
launch: The new Porsche 911 GT2 RS will celebrate its world premiere
at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK (June 30 to July 2).
At the heart of this high-performance sports car is a 515-kW (700-hp)
biturbo flat engine. Weighing in at 1,470 kg with a full fuel tank, the
lightweight two-seater accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 2.8
seconds. The rear-wheel drive Coupé has a top speed of 340 km/h,
and with its near-motorsport drive technology, the new 911 GT2 RS
trumps its 3.6-litre predecessor by 59 kW (80 hp) and achieves a
torque of 750 Newton metres (an increase of 50 Nm).
The engine builds on that in the 911 Turbo S at 427 kW (580 hp).
In order to increase performance, large turbochargers push an
increased volume of process air into the combustion chambers.
A new additional cooling system delivers optimum cooling at peak
loads and, at very high temperatures, sprays the charge-air cooler
with water. This causes the gas temperature to fall in the overpressure
range and ensures optimum power output, even under extreme
conditions. The customised GT seven-speed double-clutch transmission
(PDK) in the new GT2 RS enables power to be transferred with

Optional Weissach package with 30-kg weight saving
Performance can always be cranked up a notch – even on the 911
GT2 RS. That’s why the Porsche engineers have developed the optional
Weissach package, which provides a weight saving of around
30 kilograms. The package includes additional elements made from
carbon-fibre reinforced plastic and titanium. For instance, the roof
and the anti-roll bars are made of carbon, and so are the coupling
rods on both axles. Magnesium wheels reduce both the gross weight
and the unsprung weight, providing a greater wealth of impressive
chassis properties. The luggage compartment lid and the carbon-
weave finish roof are emblazoned with a central strip in the same
colour as the car for a visually distinctive look.
