If there is someone that has the "ability" to cut through the rumor mill, I'm betting on anonymous918 figures: put me in the camp of RS engine. i'd like to revise my HP estimate to 525hp from original 550hp.

what can I say?.. this is the back page of it.. the front is not meant to be shared. My intent in posting is to validate the existence of the car, in order to put to bed the wild rumors of it's demise due to it's flying off into the distance during testing due to lack of wings.

Yup. It's annoying. I have been waiting for Porsche to build a car like this since the 911 went water-cooled. If they finally do, but do not make it possible to buy, there is no reason to be a fan of the brand.

I liked that rumor (well, not the part about its demise). Sounded like a real 911...

I am no lawyer but some time ago I posted that this car with 500 hp or so , no wing and skinnier tires sounded like a lawyers delight. There will always be some crazy that will take such car beyond the limit. The lawsuit will be instantaneous claiming that the car was not suitable for the driver. Just like Paul Walker's family. If the various nannies are put in the enthusiasts claim foul, when they are left out the the personal injuries lawyers rejoice. Not surprised to hear there is a tug of war going on.

There is very old case, I think it is called McPherson v. Buick (?) that established some kind of legal doctrine on car liability. I think I read this somewhere but don't quote me on it. Cars need to suitable for their intended purpose.

Hard to get excited for any car Porsche comes out with. You are lucky to have your RS while the wait continues for many of us.

And please also ask about E/F/G engines, as well.

Appears to be back page to upcoming hybrid suv model ha ha

I'd say I will be in the camp of exact "Same Engine" (500BHP) as that of the 991 GT3RS for the soon to be released 911R.

GT3RS is the top dog in the "Naturally Aspirated" engine arena. It wouldn't be top dog if the 911R surpasses the BHP rating. This is not to say Porsche cannot tweak more juice from that engine. Even though this is limited production, there is still a "Pecking Order." Just my $0.02.

Drive safe,

you guys saying 500HP is too much realize they make aston martins and jaguars with 550hp right? zero wings.

Just in time

Yeah, but are there cars 3000 lbs?

What about this thing? Latest rumor is over 700hp and around 2,600 pounds. On closer look, it has an active wing that can raise and act as air brake but the lines are clean when it's not going 200 mph.

I'm a little puzzle about Porsche's concern with 991R's aero without that big GT wing.

Isn't there a wing delete option for GT3 and some owner actually order GT3 without the wing and that is not an issue for Porsche.
