GT2RS? That could explain the test shot we saw of the "GT3 RS" after it was announced. Too easy, use the same body and slap a few turbo chargers on.

Judging from the Electrical Supply Box on the Wall with the dangling electrical wire, my guess would be
a GT2RS with dual Electric Motors in front producing huge Instant Torque from the slightest press of the Accelerator thus totally eliminating any Turbo Lag. Porsche has invested loads of money in the 918 and their electric-motor supplemented race cars. The performance and throttle response of such a car would be spectacular and a 4 wheel driven chassis would take advantage of all that huge Torque. Lower-cost Eco-friendly 918 Performance and new Lap records at Ferrari 488 Prices! I'm salivating already. |
^^^ that would be everything I don't like about the 918 crammed into a 911...

Out of you 7x, how many have actually driven the 918?
I welcome a 3 liter high revving v8 with electric assist for more engine flexibility. Thats the future of exciting sports cars. Soon hybrid systems will be so well integrated and lightweight, you wont even know theyre there. |

It will be "The Final Edition GT3 RS". Final edition referring to it being the last naturally aspirated GT3 RS.
Sad news for the future but good news for the present.

That model would be in the mold of the .2 997 gt3 RS '4.0' Limited Edition that Porsche built in 2011. If the current gt3/RS naturally aspirated engine might not survive regulatory approval beyond a date certain, it might explain why Porsche is compressing the time it would normally take to announce a Limited Edition for this model. After all, we had a MY2007 .1 997 gt3 RS, a MY2008 .1 997 gt3 RS, a MY2010 .2 997 gt3 RS and a MY2011 .2 997 gt3 RS before they announced the final MY2012 .2 997 gt3 RS '4.0' Limited Edition. But if this N/A engine is being phased out due to regulations (Emissions & FIA/ACO racing regs) in the near future, it's not surprising for Porsche to move up their plans for a final 'Limited Edition' model! :thumbup: Saludos, Eduardo Carmel |
