So then

Flavor 1: GT3, PDK, wing, 4.0
Flavor 2: GT "Touring" (similar to R, 570GT): 6MT/PDK, hunchback + diffuser, narrower rubber, 4.0?

If it's something like this then begs the question where a .2RS fits: Harder core/lighter, NA 4.0 with higher tune (hard to believe), possibly limited run send off; or none and only GT2 RS (whether they call it that or not).

The 'touring' car seems to be manual only.

None of those are NA and MT. I want a manual gt3 with a back seat!

Geneva is not far away. Hopefully you get what you want. 👍 I have a few friends that turned down the R because of lack of back seats.

How funny would it be after 91 pages of discussion that the actual released car is not what many people have expected. I recall someone saying that some people at PAG do frequent these forums from time to time. If nothing else, all this discussion shows an incredible interest for the brand.

Maybe there won't be a GT3 launched in Geneva at all... fxz will agree with me!
What's next? New York? Come to papa,I'm waiting! Maybe they'll sell me the manual version right off the showroom floor!

Correct. But as an R owner, you possibly know the details already. I understand some do.

To summarize:

And perhaps this makes sense.

GT3 with wing, PDK, 4.0

Touring without wing, manual, 4.0

??

No.

GT3 launched in Geneva. 2 versions : manual and pdk. Both with wing. No wing delete option.

A wingless 911(that I don't know what will be called),built by the GT department/manual...will be launched at a later date.

If that's the case, (which I hope it is) sign me up for the Touring version!

This is getting too complicated. I'm just going to ask my dealer to order me the one that I can flip for the most money.

I think after the limited iteration of the GT2 RS comes out there will be such an appetite, bitterness, and pent up demand because very few will get this that the next .2RS will be FI. I am thinking the GT2 RS will lead the way and all will follow.

Don't worry about that. Dealers are doing that already. Loading up gt/RS with every possible option and then selling to the highest bidder. Used to be done with turbo S. Now it's happening to RS/gt3s.

It will also result in more people going to McLaren, Ferrari, and Lambo. If I can get a GT2RS at MSRP I might get it, if not I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I'm definitely not paying over MSRP for a non-PTS GT2RS or GT3.
