I guess I'm in the minority, but I like it more than current version (never got used to very long overlapping eyebrow driving lights).

Should be possible from exclusive. Everything is pricey!

I also find it much better than 991.1...

Front end is slightly fussier than .1 but not particularly worse. However, this must be fake as there's no way they will put red stripes on it!

They've got the front matching the recent mules, the door handles and rear lights off the .2 but I think they've got the .1 wing. The mules have had slightly higher ones.

I'm fortunate enough to be picking up a 991.1 GT3RS at the end of the month, Personally I feel that the 991.1 GT3 and RS are two of the best looking cars of all time.

I'm on the list for a 991.2 GT3, but I do agree on this ! It is NOT a step forward in the looks department !

So there were 4.0 and 3.8 mules as a few have revealed. Interesting which one goes into the production car. Seems like THAT was left up to marketing.

i do not know any statement for 3.8

only a couple of statements for 4.0
and the fact that the 991.2 Cup is a 4.0


edit:
just read this one:

3,8l engine
4,0l engine
....

Even the "standard" engineers at my department did not know for sure what options they would offer in the end.
At one point it was "GT3 standard = Manual w/o wing" and the Clubsport package would include the wing and PDK-S

I think they killed the Non-Wing version though, but I wouldn't put my money on it.

4,2l engine what I read somewhere is bogus. Not possible with that engine block "safely".

I'd guess that they put the 4,0l engine from the RS with ~490hp (or even the same as RS/R with 500hp) in it.

Nope marketing had no input in matter. Besides, they were busy filming upcoming promotional videos of .2 GT3 with incorrect preproduction tach redline displayed to get everyone talking! They are brilliant....

Being on the list for a .2 Gt3, this thread has me excited and depressed all at once!
