This is a Collector's car no doubt

My only fear is why would they be manufacturing this unless this was the end of the NA

Had the same thought

More and more facts look like this might be the last N/A.
I still have my doubts. AP said they will keep going with N/A. But, it's not good when their top of the line GT car gets not only beaten but destroyed at Laguna. And for pretty much half the money.

With the Viper taking over the crown I guess the next RS has to be a significant rise and HP. Not sure they can do that with N/A?
And I guess with the tech skill they have in Stuttgart they can make a turbo car rev and sound like a N/A in not to distant future.

The R is cool but it's not for me.

My money is on the next RS being mid-rear engine and turbo that I suspect we'll see in the 2017 911 RSR. IMO, the N/A vs Turbo point has become pretty trivial now that the decision has been made to move the engine in front of the rear axle.

If I was a track rat and was bitching about not being able to get an RS- I would be at the Dodge Dealership ordering the ACR

"Decision made"

Can you elaborate?

Instead of going Turbo they should just add 2 more cylinders and make it a flat 8. 4.4 L and 600 HP. Done!

With VW in dire straights I can't imagine them developing a new engine program for GT cars. I bet the next GT cars have a bunch more HP and are Turbos. Porsche knows how to make whatever HP turbo engine they want with vary little effort and existing engine programs.

Doubt it's the last N/A GT car (it's not even a GT to me anyhow)...this is the last MT N/A GT car that's for sure.

Let's see....de-tuned GT3 engine + GT3 body + no wing + stupid price + hard to get = FAIL!

It is the 50th anniversary of the 911R. Porsche does not miss an opportunity for an anniversary model any more often than Chevy does with the Corvette...
Unlike rumors that swirl around the N/A GT3, Viper production WILL end in 2017. It has already been announced by FCA. If I were Porsche, I wouldn't be spending too many development dollars to try to beat it...

I'm gonna blow up if the 991.2 GT3 isnt N/A. I just can't see them ending the N/A cars on a face lift. If anything the 991.2 will be the last N/A

usctrojanGT3

+991.2 Make no financial sense to me at all.

GreenLantern

Hmm, did I miss some announcement or some note about this?

I even skipped the bitching. Just straight to the snake pit. Now I smile. I get offered 991RS every other day for 300k. I told the last guy that I will keep viper AND gt4 AND boxster spyder before buying 320k 991.
