Honestly, I hope they do go to turbo or hybrid or hybrid turbo so I can be done buying Porsches and can save money towards a CGT.

I heard they're going to be simulated, no real cars at all. You're just going to download it to your home sim setup, though if you want to download the GT car you're gonna have to suck on this cylindrical tube that's connected digitally to a server at your SA's desk.

Sad but true. The only additional Porsches I have any interest in owning have a six speed manual and are NA, and, unfortunately, none of those are going to be getting any cheaper or easier to find.

MSB platform? That's what the new Panamera, just-revealed Bentley Continental GT, and likely the upcoming A8 are based on. I have a hard time believing it is flexible enough to accommodate the size and layout of the 911 and, consequently, the next Boxster/Cayman. I seem to recall rumors that the 992 will be on a modified 991 platform (think 996->997); certainly makes more sense.

Yup, that's why I'll just keep what I have and just rotate what I'll drive. Thank goodness I'm not into antiques because then I'd really be out of garage space. The CGT is about as old of a Porsche that I would buy. I do have a Speciale itch that I'll need to scratch eventually too. Other then that, there's no other cars that I have a want factor for. So hopefully it's be the 991.2 GT3, 991.2 GT3RS, and then finish with a 718 GT4/RS.

Uh oh, this rumor can only mean the GT3 NA engine will be released in a Cayman GT4 for a third the price 😂

The 992 GT3 will be a Turbo w/ PDK Only... and then they'll announce the 992 GT3 NA Touring Edition w/ 6-Speed.

If that happens I will be in no mans land as I'll want a new NA manual but one with a wing...I'll probably retrofit the wing off the turbo version to make it work.

Smart as many 5 - 1M cars tanking the CGT's increasing it's too much brain damage to buy a high demand Porsche.

10 cylinders F1 manual top three drivers cars ever produced Speciale my favorite Ferrari - but there is no substitute for CGT.
