Heard the same today. Not even all 918 owners will get one. NA "tuned" 3.8 or 4.0/manual only, the source didn't know displacement. Also heard very light and lots undercarriage ground effects to regain downforce loss from no spoiler.

Just like the Fcars, no rear spoiler but lot's of undercarriage ground effects.

Who cares about 991R period? 600, 911, 991 units - whatever. If it's limited production then it's a bubble wrapping exercise and completely undermines the reason we all asked for it in the first place.
Honestly, I'm so beyond turned off by this car if the limited edition rumors prove true.

I love this!
Thinking about making a bumper sticker with this phrase to put on my GT3 to indicate my car is used for what it was designed, not for posing.
EDIT- on the other hand, that decal of the Nürburgring that SamfromTexas put on his GT3/RS, is likely a more elegant way of stating that sentiment.

Hilarious how all this anti limited edition talk is also coming from people who actually own the slightly less limited edition gt4 and gt3/rs models .
Is there a limit to how limited a limited edition must be in order to be bad ? Fantastic

Some of us are still waiting for the GT3 RS and are annoyed with that situation too.

You re right but real point behind ppl compaining
is the burnt smell of being marketing for inflated prices
limiting the current Porsche GT
and not anymore the building complexity of, at that time, exotic mechanical constructions or less buyers demand
in the past these were natural effects
so some cars were naturally limited real exclusive
to get that real exclusivity today you have to spend $1m(at last
game is getting closer and closer to that)
nowadays everything below 1m look so artificial
steroids boosted in turbo sauce...

All that said, I will agree that the current GT3/RS new/used market is a bit frothy at the moment. Not uncommon when a new model is still in early release, but beyond the current RS I see the strength in used GT3/RS driven as much by highly stimulative monetary policy being carried out by global central banks as well as the sea change in automobile technology underway and it's implications for those that aren't fans as opposed to some nefarious agenda carried out by Porsche production planners.
Limited edition is a completely different story and the 918 program has further perverted it for real drovers relative to when 997.2 RS 4.0 was released. BTW, there are currently zero 997.2 RS 4.0's on Cars.dom but there are couple listed on RL for around $500k if anyone is interested.

What pisses me off about this whole thing is that they are coming out with a "limited" model and they put a "Manual" in it. That is actually cruel to be quite frank. There are many that would of loved to have this motor coupled with a "Manual" but they are doing it and flaunting it in our faces and pretty much saying good luck getting one
