I hope it's stupidly expensive....I don't want to have to sell my 14 C2S 7sp with almost zero options....

Yeah, I was surprised there weren't more 4.0s there. I did see 2 of them however.

My guess:

- narrow body
- 9A1+powerkit engine, PADM
- 6sp MT from Cayman GT4 9with revised ratios)
- 19" wheel 245/295 or perhaps less
- PASM-S, PTV+, maybe adjustable sways (no PDCC)
- de-optioned for lightness (LWB seats)
- cosmetics/aero?

question is, what will the size of the production run be? is this a "Sport Classic"?

Meh, only thing there I'd want is the buckets but those weren't available to me. It's a shame we can't reasonably buy them as parts with the base leather colors.

outside of the GT cars (and even when a dealer specs them, the GT cars themselves) the LWBs are a an option of limited appeal... so its highly unlikely
they'd ever offer them with anything other than one leather color or nomex

You could get the last gen that when in Europe from the factory but they also have default alcantara in the base leather colors too.

That looks like a GT3 without the rear wing.

A wingless GT3 would sell like hotcakes to those who don't track their cars.
