I have too many auto addictions, or at least my wife says I do... I can make a case for all of them! ( is denial the first step to addiction?)

News on the GT2 RS variant have gone quiet lately on the run-up to the presentation of the MK2 GT3 with the long-awaited manual option ...
Some folks in Europe claim thay have reliable source info about the GT2 (RS or not) going Hybrid with about 650 hp termal and about 100 hp electric from the front axle ...
Performance and price would levitate into a different territory (well above 300k € in Europe).
I believe it difficult to see an Hybrid variant of the 991 chassis, but the 992 will most definitely have Hybrid or even full Electric variants.
Any thouhgts?
Will the 991 go out with a version sporting technology from the 918?

The real wildcard will be what they do with next one vis a vis the upcoming RSR. How far forward will they actually move the engine/trans? Will engine/trans swap places? We know it's going to be turbo but will it employ hybrid tech as well? The production models derived from this platform will be very interesting but they're still a few years out. A sub 7-minute ring time seems within grasp, as insane as that sounds.

Basic meat and potatoes GT2 RS this time around. Don't expect any radical surprises.

I was hoping for something different but agree with you that it's still the 991 platform so it's not likely to see a change in the drivetrain to include a battery/hybrid. A logical safe assumption is that it will likely be a lot like the GT3 RS but with the 3.8 DI motor...maybe the same power level as the 997 at 620 HP but with the PDK. Not very exciting sounding but at that power level could do a lot more downforce and with some suspension tweaks could be moderately faster than the GT3 RS.

How pissed would most of you guys that want one be if they only produced 500, 600, or 991 one of these GT2RS cars?

Last I read the GT Dept is able to push out around 2500 cars/yr. If it is true that between 400 to a thousand units of the GT2RS will be built then what else will be built? 991.2 GT3s even though they have not been announced yet? Another batch of .1 RS, or does PAG have something up their sleeve? Thoughts? Something has to be up. That production capacity will not be allowed to go to waste.

Would not expect to see a 2RS from a bum in seat point until mid to late 18.

No surprises but seems like they are staying the course to skip GT3RS and go straight to GT2RS.
I wonder if they are adding aero to the front to compensate for the diffuser + big *** wing.
my 0.02
-Big aero will be what make the GT2RS and Viper ACR beater. plus everything else now with TQ.
-Maybe active aero like the TTS?
-Improved RWS
-Further weight loss to compensate for the TT weight, this could be solved with straight pipes after market
-More room for suspension adjustability
-Stiffer springs to deal with down force
-This time no limited edition, its the new unlimited GT3RS and they will pump out the super reliable turbo motor faster than ever before.
