The RS LOOK in a cayman mid engine package will send desire & consequently wallets flying

Have a feeling all the old traditions in Stuttgart are out of the window.
Mid engine rsr is basically a cayman.
991.2gt3 that is taking no prisoners. Porsche is trying to sell as many cars as possible and will throw a bone every now and then with limited edition stuff.
Gt3/gt3rs/gt4/gt4rs will be cash cows, not low production cars.

I was told flat out that the GT4RS is coming with a 4.0 (to be announced this year) as was a .2GT3RS (next year, no details on engine). I was shocked about the GT4, still will have to see it to believe it and no idea on state of tune. Sounds like an extremely low production car, not a lot of hope if not a 918 guy here in the US but who knows. Add in a GT2RS later this year and should be loads of GT cars to keep us entertained, not to mention any other "specials" that may show up that others have mentioned. Exciting times to be a car nut!

If they make the gt4rs and it looks like that with a 450hp 4.0l engine it will hard not to buy.

that will make the typical US habit of overmsrp premium
hyper inflation the most stupid thing to do
cars need to be driven not collected for resale
just look what's just started for .1 RS

Doesn't look likely there will be a 991.2GT3RS. No time. They have alot on their plate. .2GT3, .2GT2RS and new GT4 or GT4RS. 992 is debuting in 2018.

Also... this new 4.0 is going in multiple cars coming up in different states of tune.. and that cat has been let out of the bag already by AP.
-"we watched in screaming on the bench and make 608hp, so we know we have a lot of room"
they developed this engine for GT3/GT3RS/gt4RS and maybe others.
and in the words of my bestest friend in the world, the infamous FXZ himself... (all together now)....
CONFIRMED!
Boarding flight to atl.. Amelia here we come. Goodnight all.

I was also told flat out, and this weekend at Amelia I have lunch booked with someone with PCNA who might tell. If he tells, I'm telling here. If he tells but tells me not to tell... ill make smoke signals in the form of a 911R dash showing precisely 60mph, right here on this thread. . If he doesn't tell BC he knows I'll tell, I'll make **** up just to impress people. Either way, I'm going to confirm the 4.0 in gt4RS right now BC I heard it from my cleaning lady and damn it if she's quiet most the time, but when she talks she tells me the truth.
