My comment was in comparison to the 991.1 base and .1 S - not GT3/GT4 anyhow back to the RS

According to the german magazine "sport auto", the 2016 GT3 R reaches 590hp without restrictor (and revs to 9400!). Thats not so far away from the 608hp claimed for the bench-screaming new 4.0.

Also, they measured the street GT3 RS @ 496hp. Maybe the new GT3 offers 504hp. There you have the less internal friction

Real torque / power curve comparison will tell the truth.

Nice one. First thing's first: that's defo a .2 3 RS. Wing looks even higher! The big story: the NACA ducts. What are they for? I mean, there's nothing under there other than my luggage! Do they have them in any of the race cars and, if so, what do they do? Driver cooling? Compulsory AC delete? That would be f'ing cool.

Is it me or does it sound higher pitched at the top end of the rev range than the current RS and .2GT3? Different tone to current RS as well.

Love it love it love it.
