Yes. I expect to get one as long as there are enough to satisfy just the 918 buyers.

I had a 991 Turbo S torque monster and got bored of it. I know the GT2 RS will be different. Im not ready to part with my Voodoo blue RS.

Can't argue with that. Local guy has Voodoo GT4 and it's a great color!

The GT2 vs. GT2RS debate is interesting. Personally I don't see why PAG would give up the commercial possibility of an "ultimate" product down the road, hence I'm thinking GT2. But with numerous pundits saying how the 991.2 will be a shortened cycle to give way to the [992] one can see the logic...

The rear diffuser is VERY pronounced I was told. If the R produces almost as much downforce as the RS in the rear with just the diffuser, and this car has both wing and diffuser, there HAS to be something in the front to balance it out. Canards probably unavoidable like you said...

There was no 997.2 GT2 either.

It coukd make sense to keep it simple and just build as many 991.2 GT3 and GT2RS as possible before going to a few limited editions. Money is cheap, we will pay and VW needs it while working on 992.

So true. One of the most frustrating stretches of road here. The FGTs speeding made the news here tonight.

Agree no base GT2. Disagree on no 991.2 3RS.

BTW, photos or it didn't happen....

Cant wait to see the GT2/GT2 RS.


I don't know if PAG cares about beating a Dodge but it would be nice to see the ACR get some serious competition.

The GT2 RS is a failure if it doesn't put down faster times at most tracks than ACR.
