Hope this is more than just recycled news, as AP stated last fall, there could be a manual GT3/RS special edition at some point.

I hope so, though I expect it to be out of my reach.

Nothing new here folks. This article predicts exactly shat most of us have been saving for 6 months now. Small revisions mechanically with a much wilder body. Rear wing must be something to create the extra downforce. Expect a cartoonish looking car at Geneva in two weeks ....

Well I hope they don't put that aweful 991 Turbo body on it. I'd prefer they use the 991 narrow body.

I think the Turbo body is a very likely bet.

And pigs might fly if you ask me... Doubt VWs world domination with DSG technology will take a backward step for the RS... kinda like introducing CLs and then deleting them... Not gonna happen evwn though I'd love to see both

I hope they don't. If they do, I'm going to have to figure out a way to own one which will be next to impossible

I've been saying this for over a year now...RS will be available (eventually) with a MT
Look for an extra cost old guy version

That is, of course, if they can fix the supplier, thermostat, PCCB and fire issues

No MT! Yes Turbo rear arches. Read the autoexpress article its 100% accurate to what my sources are telling me.
