992 GT3 is in fact going to have an NA engine.
 
You heard it here first. This company knows how to string people out. That is all.

I'm actually curious. This man might have AP or FW as his cleaning lady

Flippers delight, seen this coming a mile away. Turbo ftw

I have nothing to base this on, but I am guessing a flat 6 NA hybrid with electric motor between the motor and gearbox. Battery somewhere in rear seat area. Fits with Mission E philosophy.

AP hedged about NA last time he spoke. Something like “we will keep NA as long as we can.”

The current engine does not pass euro emissions and gets a 1 out of 10 on US smog scores. We shall see what the GT3RS second round looks like (particulate filter?).

I hope the 992.1 GT3 is NA (and manual) but there are some significant regulatory hurdles for it to be so.

The GT3 being a 3.8 turbo would differentiate it from the normal 3.0 turbo line. 520hp (autocar say 513hp but that is UK hp) would be a typical HP bump (GT3 gets hp of previous GT3RS). It will be faster than the outgoing GT3RS and they will probably give us a manual.

My humble opinion is that next one will be turbo. Current gt2 is a turbo and has been well received. Test ballon by Porsche to gauge market reaction.

but then again it could be NA. What the hell do I know.

GT2 was always turbo, never NA. So it's expected and received well. The GT3 is not. Major change if it goes turbo.
