In the 3 Porsches, there should be a Panamera model, should be a good chance to see either GTS or GT3.

.2 GTS at LA Autoshow confirmed.


One reason I think .2 GTS is more ready to debut than .2 GT3 is that there are sighting of .2 GTS running around pretty much production ready without any disguise.

Would be amazing. I'll be there at the PCA breakfast. Looking forward to it even more now to see if this happens. Would be breaking trend though.

would be unusual if they debut the 991 GTS at the LA show as that's usually saved for the last year of production of a 911 generation.

However, VW does need a lot of money in its warchest for dieselgate so they make break with tradition and release the 991 GTS early.

I did not go to Paris show because I am living abroad, in UAE to be precised.
I am interested to go to the Geneva show as the interesting car will be there.

this engine is a race engine, not the street version one. no need to see it.

Just to refer to teh 991.2 GT3 Cup engine data again.

485 bhp (at 7500 rpm)
Redline at 8500 rpm
Torque = 354 lb ft (thats 40lbft up on last GT3 and 20 up on RS)

Torque will be the key - if its fatter through the 4000-6000 band it will have a big difference on track. This is where the RS pulls over the GT3 and if the new GT3 is well endowed it will pull as much if not more than the RS etc.

The key now is torque. The challenge is emissions tuning for a street car. HP of 10-20bph will make little outright difference (other than bragging rights). All IMO
