Default .2 GT3RS new front lift?

I was browsing the Porsche's GT3RS web pages and found this information that is unique to the new GT3RS. Same feature was not found on GT3 or GT2 RS pages.
Could this be a new FAL system?

Sure looks like it. Its probably faster than the one in our cars and more like the ones in a Ford GT.

Actually the Front lift system on the 991.2 GT3 is also hydraulically operated so this is slightly confusing..I think the previous gen GT3/RS was pneumatically operated so i'm guessing the new GT3, 3RS and 3RS have the same system..

GT3.1 is pneumatic. According to the Porsche site, GT3.2 is hydraulic and raises front 1.5 inches. GT3RS is hydraulic and raises front 1.2 inches but is lighter, apparently?

FWIW: GT2RS lifts 1.2 inches - I'm not sure if it pneumatic or hydraulic.

Conflicting information in the RS configurator. It says electro pneumatic.

Here's an extract from the UK 991.2GT3 RS configurator.

I assume the .2 car to have the same pneumatic system from .1 Raise time is the same as my .1 was and it has the same "blow-off" venting pressure off when you lower it. I don't think it's hydraulic.

Very cool that the .2 RS will be a different system.

Probably due to emissions regulations.

Hydraulic lift + particulate filter = NA engines forever.

It may be, but it behaves exactly the same as my .1 did. Exhibits the same blow-off sound when you lower it. I guess I mean to say that, if they changed it, I would have never known as it behaves exactly the same.

My .2 doesn't make the same sound as my .1 I will have my mechanic verify which system is in my .2.

The FAL on the .2 absolutely blows off air when you let it down. I use it often everyday so I know.
Side note: was pulling into a cars and coffee type situation and after I pulled in I put down my lift and psssshhh.
Kid standing next to car goes "ohhhh sick blow off valve dude"!
