Isn't this car called: 991 GT3R, Not 911R.

What are the issues?

This car has nothing to do with the 911GT3R. It's a limited edition last of the N/A 991. I have no idea why they named it 991R. It's definitely confusing. I don't know this, but I don't think it will have anything to do with a GT car.
Maybe someone with more technical knowledge could explain. But to me it's unlikely Porsche would make a MT version hooked up to the 3.8l gt3 engine???
So my guess is that this will be a little more powerful GTS with MT only and some cool exterior pieces.

It's confusing cuz the title is misleading as there is a GT3 R race car that was recently released. The car the OP is talking about is some 991 with a GT3 engine that has a manual transmission.

It was confirmed to me by someone (I don't think I should mention his name) via AP (2 other Rennlist members can confirm they heard the same), that there is a narrow body 991 with a GT3 engine and manual transmission coming out as a street car. He didn't mention anything else.

Can confirm the following

- Four Point Zero (RS Engine) Don't have HP figures - I would assume slightly detuned
- Emanual
- One hundred kilos lighter than 991 GT3
- GT3 Width rear
- Sans big wings

So they'll put the regular tuned 4.0RS engine in the .2 GT3 and a bigger engine in the .2RS?

From incredibly early murmurings, I don't think the 991.2 RS will be bigger than 4.0.

Interesting...you think they'll squeeze out some more HP out of the 4.0 with different internals?

Don't quote me on that, i'm probably getting wires crossed and I would fully believe 4.2.

Now you are getting me excited about the .2RS....good thing I got my name down on 3 GOOD dealer lists. I'm fully expecting to take delivery of the car by this time in 2018.
