Default Next GT3

Dealers in Europe received official news today on next GT3. It will be announced at Geneva next year. It will have the 4.0 litre engine and production will start at the factory in May 2017. Trust me. This is solid news.

Looking forward to the official announcement.. Although I'm not quite so sure that it will be 4.0..
If dundan can extract 40whp with headers and no tune, then PAG left room for growth with the 3.8.

Either way, my deposit was in awhile ago,

i don't know what the true confirmation will be but my dealer said (with some formal information) and i put a deposit on the first manual. I really don't care if its the same car as the current car if it has a manual option

Heard the same yesterday. Friend of the cleaning lady that has sold 4 918's and 4 911R's. He promised manual. I said it the day the 911R was announced, no company builds a new manual 6 speed for just 911 cars. I love that time frame too
