GO check out the spy shots of the mule @ the ring ... its using the new TT/S body/chassis (extra wide ***) no new aero yet appearing...
they *might* have a 4.0 variant tucked away, but its more likely to be a 3.8 with the same or an extra 15-20 extracted from it ... IMHO

All valid comments above.
AP said that with the new GT3 being more able to adapt to both road comfort and track (dare I say compromised), that it leaves room for the RS to be more extreme. It will be interesting to see what he means by extreme..... closer version to the race variant..... a 4.0 litre..... manual..... aggressive shape..... light weight..... now there's a thing or two.

Don't think I need both tho probably go to a cayman interseries from there to go racing...

My guess
25hp out of the same motor, big wing, aero, decals, etc.
Msrp 35k more

I hope you're right. If, as some have suggested, the RS will be only an incremental step up from the GT3, I will be p****ed. I think GT3 buyers should expect that Porsche will deliver the best car of that type that it can given the current state of technology and cost considerations. To announce a new, slightly better car at a relatively small price difference before the first GT3's have been delivered would be unforgivable.

Everyone has the "From What I've heard" stories...
I hear aside from the body work (some lighter weight parts) and a little bump in power, there isn't going to be too much that's different, lap times included (a second or two on a long track). DEFINITELY no manual. Whoever thinks that is on crack because there is NO way an RS buyer wants a car slower on the track than a base 991 gt3. Sorry, thats not happening in the RS devision of things where they do actually value overall lap times. (Just wait for your GTS model and have a ball with it).
