Nope.. Don't believe what you read, look at the whole body setup, and detail clues... Oh, the sound of the engine if nothing else. NA all the way there, no vacuum cleaner sound

I'm just a bit skeptical that it's a GT3. Could they be using an NA motor just for testing until they finalize the GT2 engine assembly? Sounds far fetched, I know.

Not sure why this is a mystery.
It seems the 6-speed manual is going the way of the rotary phone. . .

Let's not start again with the Manual/PDK thing...I'm tired myself of it...
I just have 1 question : how come the clean low miles,no track examples of 997.2 GT3RSs go for as high as 180K???!!! I want one since the 991 GT3 is not for me,but at these prices is ridiculous!!
Obviously my question is rhetorical...we all know why...

It's the GT3RS, Center Exhaust, nice loud GT3 sounding exhaust that is high revving and isn't muffled by the Turbos, no turbo sounds. Don't let the side intake ducts fool you, the normally aspirated 991 RSR also has the side intake ducts. Most likely for brake cooling.

From the article:
The world’s first properly wrapped Porsche 991 GT3 RS comes from the folks at Print Tech Premium Wrapping. It’s a matte racing orange wrap the owner of the car has gone for complemented with black accents and dark grey wheels.
