The turbo looks awesome...

I don't know, does it? Those rear wheels look monstrous to me. What are they, 22"? 23"?

I didn’t see it until I heard it but definitely starting to resemble a Ford Mustang. Talk about going mainstream. The second I saw this leak I paid for my new GT3RS.

I have zero interest in a hybrid. In fact, most new cars seem to irritate me.

It doesn't sound hybrid to me. All I can hear is an engine and a bunch of wind.

I don't think I have the means for a 918, but if I did I would only own one if I could make money on it. Incidentally, I have only made money on one car in my life and I owned it for 17 years.

Could the wind be from the winter tires?

why can't this be a 992.2 GT3 prototype?

makes sense (to me) that the 992.1 GT3 will be like the current 991.2 GT3RS
992.1 RS = some hybrid assist
992.2 GT3 = a la 992.1 RS

I know nothing
