Same as above but US dealers were once again told no 4.0 due to cost of the unobtanium crank as well as pissing off the ugly 911R (dewinged GT3) folks.
Frankly, they are running out of different 911 to invent. Porsche BOSS: "lets make the new GT3 a 4.0 and a manual so that people will buy another billion dollars of cars again." Porsche Assistance Boss: " But boss, isnt that a 911R without a wing?" Porsche BOSS: "umm, OK, forget the 4.0. Put back the 3.8 and put bigger wings and tires on it. That would make it different. That was close, good catch. We have a winner guys. Good job!" |

When I talked to AP and Walliser, no specific numbers were stated. But the engine that will go into the .2GT3 is right now inside the GT3R race car. And yes, the next GT3 will have a race proven engine.

Every source I have including European dealers, say 4.0L for the 991.2 GT3. I believe them. |

I seriously doubt GT3 will get 4.0L as well but hey I am no cleaning lady.

Just sharing what I was told. I think RS is turbo b/c of the new RSR. I'll try and get some info at Lemans as I'll be in Porsche hospitality and have grid/hot passes for the weekend. Also gotta keep on the RS allocation hunt.

i like smaller free revving engines. Anyone else concerned about the consequences of higher displacement motors? Mostly lower redlines and less free revving abilities? I know the RS is a 4.0, but if I'm not mistaken I felt the 3.8 be more 'revvy.'
