Assuming no 991.2 GT3RS, do you buy a 991.1 GT3RS or the 991.2 GT3?

very interesting. thank you!

That GT4.0 will be interesting to price but very easy to sell

hp applications with redline variability - if not for an RS then for which car? or was that in regard to the 718 with the 4.0 l?

I'd be really surprised and a little disappointed if no .2 GT3RS. If it's LE, I could care less because I won't get one. But I think they'll do another 3rs in "mass quantity" next spring in GVA. Zero cleaning lady intel; just history and common sense. Why go thru all the trouble of a new 4.0L if it dies with Gt3 only and maybe a 4rs?

The last two are similar to what I heard a week or two ago, but the 718 was shorthanded to a GT4RS. Regardless of what they call it (AP was coy in how he answered the question on the Geneva show floor) it sounds very limited. I heard yes to .2 RS but will have to believe it to see it. Thanks for posting!

Its due in early 2018 or late 2017. (due as in due for release, not due for delivery)
That's probably a miss in communication.

They won't release gt2rs and gt3rs at the same time.

Gt2rs is due late 2017 and deliveries starting early 2018.

Could be But my dealership is very certain it will happen and they expect detail at the end of the year. Also I was shown two photos of what appears to be a black 991.2 GT3 RS is a wind tunnel. It appears to show a wider RS with double rear spoiler. The rear appeared to be CF but was dressed up in disruptive pattern (the CF was obvious around the tail lights). The air vents in the front fender appeared both a little narrower and a lot longer than those on the current version. The rear appeared wider e.g. RSR like and there also appeared to be vents over the rear fenders although it could have been shadow. It looked much more aggressive than the current RS, lower flatter and wider. Very very race focussed. The rear wing appeared very tall and wide.

Also he said that there wasn't a single order for a manual GT3 at this particular dealership. Thats all I've got.
