Spoke to a GM at a good guy dealership and here's what he told me...
They will have allocations shortly after the Geneva car show, first cars likely to arrive in Sept to the US. Car will be PDK or MT with a 4.0L engine around 500hp and NO WINGLESS option. PDK cars will be built first and then the MT cars. He said they are talking about doing a stripped lightweight 911 with 450+ HP power but it will be a turbo engine (think of it as a lightweight GTS).

That's a bit disappointing if true. But I guess good since it would save me money to skip the new GT3.
I really wanted an R-lite. Sleeper looks, but all the good bits. Even more than an R actually--I think the new GT3 front and back look better than the R.
My dream is 6 speed with 4.0, LWFW, sofas, PCCB, and R style wingless. The dream gets better with a Fashion Grey PTS slot. I used to want a backseat, now I don't since that means kids can legally ride in the front with the appropriate booster for the few times needed or wanted.
The thought of mating the 6 speed to a turbo engine for the touring version sounds like a stab in the heart. I mean I guess there will be enough parts between all the variations to Frankenstein something together, just frustrating if it is blocked for whatever reasons.
Still, we don't have final public info, so who knows. And options often change after a year, maybe I just have to keep waiting/hoping.

Will it be launched as a 2017 or 18 MY.
Paperwork says 2018...but looking for hints on when my allocation may come through if it launches as 2017.
