Can't imagine they'd announce two track focused cars at the same time, they'd steal each others thunder. I am very curious to see the next GT4, would they dare put the new 4.0 in it? Maybe if they've finished production of the GT3 manuals, again why step on your other vehicles toes.

Agreed. Paris 2018 as MY19 would be my bet...

997 was introduced in Paris 2004 so it's not like it has to be Frankfurt...

As a reminder, in the three model years 2010-2012 Porsche introduced the following 'special' 987.2/997.2 models, as well as the 991:

Sport Classic
Speedster
GT3
GT3RS
GT2RS
GT3RS 4.0
Turbo S
Boxster Spyder
Cayman R

Eight years from the 991 introduction (Frankfurt 2011)? I don't think so.

What is .2x Turbo? Is that the special edition Turbo? Or like 991.25 Turbo?

Not really. Confirmation means that full content, pricing, and availability are detailed and to my knowledge that has yet to be stated clearly and fully in any posting.

Touring package is happening but wont be available till end of this year, maybe beginning next year. 2 seats in the back and no wing. maybe a ducktail.. but it seems they haven't decided yet how to go about it
