Why do people keep making up **** about a flat six with swept volume greater than 4.0 liters?
Why would Porsche do that when ALL of their current 911 race engines - including the RSR - have 4.0 liter engines?
The "surprise" is probably one of the following:
1 - Weissach Package; i'd be shocked if they DIDN'T offer WP on the RS (more profit, more market segmentation, etc.)
2 - 4.0L engine with redline > 9K RPM
3 - Manual option (maybe)

Statement was RS is performance = PDK...?

To that end, I've not seen an RSR up-close beyond a couple of shakey youtube videos stuffing the lens into various bits. If you have any literature or photos I'd love to see them.

Still curious to see a Ring lap by Christian with 991.2 GT3 PDK vs a manual 991.2. Willing to bet it isnt as much difference as Porsche would make you think. Just look at ZL1 1LE time with a manual.
