Default Latest rumor on the 991.2 GT3 ... a touring option?

So says our friend on the other side of the pond over at Rennteam.

991.2 GT3 + wing delete + 4.0L + MT = 911R

They already make a touring edition: It's called a Carrera or a turbo.

Based on a conversation with a Level 1 source in which it was clear I should read between the lines, I would not be surprised. Waiting anxiously...

What's next? A 991.2 GT3 Cabriolet? 991.2 GT3 Targa?

Rennteam's cleaning lady released this info too late. She is absolutely correct,Porsche does make this car : it's called the 911 R. Perhaps this info would've been a lot more valuable months ago. Just like tonight's lottery numbers,not those from last week...

i could see this happening but had not heard anything like this yet. see if you can get more from your source about the 4.0... it's not the R's 4.0 from what I've heard.

Yes,it's a completely new 4.0 ...we've heard that too. Or was it a new 3.8? Or maybe it was 3.0 Turbo? Now I'm confused...

I wish I knew. I'm not important enough in the Porsche pantheon to have a cleaning lady, or even an iRobot vacuum cleaner.
