That is hard to believe (but not impossible). Either the 4.0L motor will be making over 137 hp/L (Speciale is 133) or they are going to increase displacement (which makes >9,500 rpm even harder to believe). Assuming they stay Flat-6 NA. Of those two options, I'd say the crazy spinning 4.0L is the more likely (and would be fantastic).

Maybe the V8 from the 918 Spyder?

(put that in a Cayman chassis and I'd get two!!)

Even that motor doesn't spin over 9,500 rpm (I think 9,200)

I meant the engine, not the motor.
I know, it will never happen. But would certainly be something!

Exactly! Biggest confusion in the history of the automotive industry. And people will never learn : engine=internal combustion
motor=electric.

To launch the 991.2rs so close to the 991.2gt3 will likely open up more 991.2gt3 allocations. A lot of RS buyers buy the gt3 while they wait for the RS. No need to do that in this case.
Especially if the RS will be offered with MT.
Gt2rs will most likely be in a completely different price bracket.

Porsche always tries to deliver demand -1 on the GT cars
I would be very surprised if they all of a sudden would change that

To me I still see .2 GT3 delivery late this year, .2 RS 9-12 months later. In a state like NY with sales tax credit back on trade really no reason to skip the 3.

My dealer got my Hybrid Wagon slot for me now too, so pretty excited about it!

.2GT3 was announced March 2017 and production July 2017 should result in RS intro Sept 2017, build Jan 2017 delivery March 2018. Yes, no?

Hey Nate, I thought you said a few months back that you were going to step aside for a while with Porsche and now you're saying you have 3 different models on order (I believe). I love it, you're "Top Notch".

Agree with this but I hope I'm not the -1.

Either way, Good luck on your money :P All three is not the planned production dates
If all three are not the dates, can you reveal what the correct dates are?
