This is true. I know a few people who, given their roles/connections, would be expected to know what's coming next, but most of them have been told slightly different things!

Some say turbo some say non-turbo. I believe they are/have tested both as far back at 991.1. Predominance of evidence points to RSR turbo midengined with this car aligned through GT2RS with a side engine waiver. RS continues in current tune and RS NA swan song 4.2 for very special 918 bros.

100% agreed; that's why I seriously question even the intel of Whoopsy (918 owner) and CAlexio (Friends w/ 918 owner Sashi Reddi)

I thought the 991.2 GT3 road car would go turbo over a year ago, and I based this feeling on public info and circumstantial evidence. The race car won't be competitive as a 4.0 NA - no torque.
