Maybe they've changed their mind.

1000 numbered or estimated production run is the question then.

I was told c1500, but not a numbered run, and much easier to get hold of than say an R, mainly because of price. Idea being that Porsche would try to capture the 'over MRSP' itsielf, within the asking price.
Since the days of 'no manual GT3', I've decided it's best just to wait and see the facts!
Pricing info does seem consistent though.

Assuming 700 hp (sounds about right)... that's around a 120 hp per ton improvement in power to weight ratio over the 991.2 GT3. Some extrapolations I'd done previously suggest around a ~21 second reduction in 'ring time for that type of improvement assuming same generation tires, etc (though it gets very fuzzy at the bottom edge depending how grip limited you are).

Extrapolating from the 7:12 that suggests 700 hp and great rubber should get you to 6:51 or thereabouts. The Huracan Peformante's time is 6:52.01...

This should be interesting. Any bets?

700HP has been a target for a while but so has passing emissions. It's easy for Sharky or Betim to build a 700-800hp car but they are not stock

Guy I spoke to said "No problem with grip": Maybe they are extra super sticky glue tires.

And also: "We (Porsche) wants to be fastest on the Ring."

It's not emissions- no problem with a turbo car. Drivability is another matter.

I bet 700hp

PCCB and water sprayed inter coolers meh.

1530KG sounds good to me!

"1. The new GT2 RS will have at least 650hp

You’ll recall the previous 997 GT2 RS had what is still a mighty 620hp (it actually remains the most powerful 911 of all time). However, the new 991 GT2 RS looks set to eclipse that, Preuninger telling us the car will be good for at least 650hp.

2. The new GT2 RS will boast more than 750Nm torque

That monster torque figure is actually the work of Porsche’s latest 991.2 Turbo S, which to this point takes the title of being the 911 with the most twist (the 997 GT2 RS has 700Nm). The 991 GT2 RS looks set to sail past that figure too, though Herr Preuninger remains tight-lipped – for now – as to what the final figure may be.

3. The GT2 RS’s engine size is 3.8-litres

That’s right, whereas the naturally aspirated GT3 RS and 991 R utilise a bigger, 4.0-litre version of Porsche’s 9A1-coded flat six, the GT2 RS uses a heavily revised version of the 3.8-litre flat six found in the current 991 Turbo S. Porsche is quick to stress the new GT2 RS has had far more than a mere remap of the Turbo S’s unit, though.

4. The new GT2 RS’s intercoolers are spray-cooled

Similar to the technology currently utilised by BMW, the GT2 RS’s intercoolers are spray-cooled, with a fine mist sprayed onto their netting. We’re told the ensuing evaporation effect reduces intake temperature by as much as 15 degrees.

9. The new GT2 RS will be fully rose-jointed

That means it’ll be a super-stiff, focused ride, but we were surprised by how compliant the car felt. That said, the dampers are mounted upside-down, in true race-car guise, and the GT2 RS’s spring rates will be ‘the most extreme ever for a Porsche road car’.

10. The new GT2 RS will be offered with an optional Weissach Pack

This cool weight-saving option, which we expect many owners to take, will see the GT2 RS’s kerb weight reduced by around 30 kilograms. GT2 RS’s with the Weissach Pack will come with a carbon fibre roof rather than a magnesium number found on the GT3 RS and R."


Oh my
