Porsche better pump out as many GT cars as they can to help VW out with their "little" upcoming emissions fines. The GT cars are seeing the best demand right now so why not build more in the .2 variants? Doesn't take a Harvard MBA to figure that out. If they don't build all or most all of the cars that I've listed, they are leaving a lot of money on the table. I'm not a buyer of any turbo car, including a Porsche GT car, pain and simple. Let's see if Porsche wants my money.

Andreas P already said there would be a car at Rennsport. Check the posts by Moore and carlos. Very senior board members who were there.

I've owned a 1995 Turbo Supra and a 2002 996 Turbo before. I don't like the turbo lag and the non linear power curve along with the sound of the cars (kinda sounded like vacuum cleaners). I had my fill of turbo cars and not interested in owning another one, hence why I didn't buy a 996 or 997 GT2 by now.

No solid evidence at this point......only AP hints long ago. I have been told by a special person that MS dept is testing a 'turbo charged' engine in a GT3 RS mule that is running around now for feasibility studies but I am told far from green light yet but of course I am not a credible source either 
A 620hp+ 911 that will hopefully weigh less than 1400kg and have active aero which will help an under 7:18 lap time at the Ring, even though I don't care much about lap times and I am really fantasizing and dreaming up specs from my mind. Still would be one hell of a widowmaker!

Very cool, but I think it will be difficult for Porsche to make a business case for the GT2 since they didn't sell so many 997 GT2s and GT2RSs. Also with this whole diesel gate scandal with VAG they are going to cut back on non essential projects. Despite all that I really hope they do build a 991 GT2/RS.

For what it's worth I'm hearing a target number of 700hp.....

Makes you wonder about the GT4, though - will they really take a break between 981.1 and 981.2, as has always been the case with GT models, and just for that car bring back the old 9A1, which is currently being phased out?

What exactly have you been smoking/snorting today??
Everyone on rennlist knows you love your manual cars, but there isn't a snowballs chance in hell that the GT3 or RS will be manual ONLY.
Yes , a manual will certainly be offered on the GT4, and we might get a manual option on the GT3, but the boss (AP) of Porsche GT cars, said just two weeks ago that the future GT3RS will be PDK only. And much of the worldwide success/demand of the 991 GT3 is due to the PDK-S, and so while Porsche may offer a manual in the 991.2 GT3, there is no chance the 991.2 GT3 will be manual ONLY.
*Per AP The 981.2 GT4 will still be NA
*I also highly doubt the next RS will lose almost 400 lbs unless its made out of unobtainium......
*your other weight loss estimates are rather optimistic as well

Well said DR., promise I'll work on working out and nutrition because they sure as hell aren't trimming 400lbs out of RS, unless when you order you only receive the chassis and nothing attached.

driver conditioning is so overlooked and can make a huge performance boost as well as being a cost effective means to improve lap times
