Nick, what's your best guess on whether there will be a 991.2GT3RS?

US dealers would be the last one to ask for any information..........

They had no incentive to tell customers what's coming, they want their customers to buy what's on their lot right now, not putting off purchases to wait for the next one.

Nick, what I hear is that there will be a .2 3RS. I don't have a second source to confirm like I did with the 4.0L race engine for the .2 GT3, that bit I talked to Peuninger and Walliser separately.

While cleaning the man's toilet of the residue from someone having diarrhea, I overheard that the GT3R engine has a completely new oiling system compared to the current GT3 engine. The current GT3 engine is version 1, current GT3RS, 911R engine is version 1.5. The race engine in the GT3R is versions 2. The .2 GT3's engine will be an improvement over the race engine and will be considered as versions 2.5.

From: The way to hell is paved by good intentions “Wenn ich Purist höre...entsichere ich meinen Browning” "Myths are fuel for marketing (and nowadays for flippers too,,,)" time to time is not sufficient to be a saint, you must be also an Hero

^ in this case one would say .1RS flippers better take the money and run....

but next 2017 RSR race car and its own .2RS road legal for homologation
will set the real future /shift the market perception of current .1 and future .2 GT3 /RS

Keyword being begging. Try to stay on the dealer's good side and hope that they show pity and gives out an allocation without market adjustment.

I could not agree more. Whoopsy (Nick) is a highly prized client of Porsche. His information is usually very accurate.
