It's not Prosches fault that a whole lot more people want to buy an RS than people want to buy a 650S or 675LTs

Whereas, a GT3 RS on the flip market starts at $280,000. So not really a valid comparison.

GT3 June 2017
GT2 RS early 2018
GT3 RS June 2018

In usual fashion, model announcements to the market will be 4-6 months in advance. GT3 formal release is Geneva 2017.

Also, I was told yesterday that the 991.2 GTS may be delayed because the 991.2 S/4S is selling so well that there is no need to rush the GTS to market to act as the end of life sales kicker for when sales start to slow down.

while I can't recall any Porsche model of the past that was not been succeeded by a car with at least a modest power bump, I really don't think it's needed with this car. I, for one, would be no less excited for the 991.2 GT3 if it kept the same 3.8L and just included some very mild evolutionary enhancements/touches to the exterior/interior styling and chassis/damping.

Do you know whether the 991.2 GT3 will have a 9k redline? Or will it be a staggered approach like the one on the current 991.1 GT3 RS?

Thanks.
