^^^What about on an older car? Are they grandfathered?

 

I don't expect the exact engine with no components changed from the RSR. They will have to design it to hold up for 300,000k just like the 991.2 GT3/RS engines (which are also motorsport derived engines)

My main point was that Porsche will put a 4.2L NA engine in the 992.1 RS

 

Why? More emissions more costs to produce it

 

easily offset by the Taycan and electric Macan.

There is only so much torque that can be extracted from a 4.0L engine.
Historically, the RS gains .2 liters of displacement during every complete model generation, 997, 991, etc. The 992 RS will be the same. They will max out NA power in the RS before they consider any other type of engine.

 

The newest GT4 street car has all kinds of emission junk on it along with gearing etc to meet these new targets.
The new 992 GT3 might very well be clipped the same way in terms of particle filters and gearing etc.

The 991.1 and 991.2 market might very well remain strong as result.

 

l honestly hope you are wrong, but would not be surprised. I already prefer the 991.2 GT3 over the Speedster.

Fyi, on the GT3, I did change to the Numeric Racing Short Throw Shifter and it’s cables, as well as side delete mufflers. I have not done the shifter change to the Speedster and obviously cannot do the side deletes.

 

Article on new Porsche buckets. Seems this is the 918 seat with a different insert. Kind of points at this becoming the bucket for the GT cars. I am holding out hope for a reclining bucket

New Huracan Evo didn’t get racing seats that fold.since in the VW family.

 

Meh. Could care less about hinged. Now if they offered different size/width options that would be progress.

Beyond that, wake me up when they build a street version of the RSR.....

 

Really disappointed that the cleaning ladies have nothing to do but surf the internet all day, and we still don’t have any juicy gossip. Quarantine sucks.

 

I suspect with the weakening economy, the technical development and expansion of the 992 series GT car lineup over the coming years will be more restrained than we would have expected just a few months ago.

What I would love is if they focused almost exclusively on weight, part deletions and replacing large sections of the bodywork and larger panels with carbon...
A new GT3 under 3000 lbs, I can dream.

I would lose a lot of interest in any NA GT car if they added a hybrid system. Am I alone in that? Increasing weight and luxurious complexity are exactly what I want to get away from in any GT variant. May as well get a turbo if it's going to be heavy anyway.

 

Not alone. The turbo lines are much better fits for a hybrid.

 

I'm thinking they are pretty far down the road on GT product development plan.

 

The 992.1 GT3 is baked, and they have a very good idea of what they want to do for other 992.1 Motorsports variants - GT3 RS (2021); 1973 RS Carrera Tribute (the 911 R / Speedster equivalent of the 992.1 gen; 2023); maybe a GT2 RS (2022?)

I think the survey is intended to canvas opinion for 992.2 and beyond. They have to determine how they want to position the car in the future (i.e., emphasis on numerically measured performance vs. emphasis on feel, engagement, etc.). They also want to determine how receptive GT customers are to hybridization.
