That car is a turbo, only question is, is it a GT2 or GT2 RS?

It amazes me that some members of this forum feel like these breathless articles from autocar, worldcarfans, etc. are reporting any sort of "news" about Porsche's upcoming products.

It's literally some spy shots taken at the ring or along known test routes and parroted all over the internet with speculation created by "journalists" to generate clicks.

Convinced there's a lot of misdirection going on now...

I'll be very disappointed if they give us a warmed over 991.2. Time for turbo; I wish IMSA and WEC would take away BOP and force them to compete with the other OEMs on the basis of their actual product.

The irony here is rich.

The same fishwrap, with the same muckraker, penned an article about the 991.2 GT3 coming with a manual option and people drank it up like it was the next best thing to Kool-Aid spiked with Macallan “M”.

Les rumeurs indiquent que Porsche resterait sur une motorisation atmosphérique. Les détails de la nouvelle auto devraient être dévoilés à mi-saison.
