Default 992 GT3 Weissach Package

Given the new carbon fibre bonnet (hood for you Americans) and carbon fibre wing originally only seen on the RS as well as the new carbon roof available for all 911s, have there been any rumours on a weissach package for the new GT3 or at least option to have these parts in exposed carbon.
I only see this as a possibility as there appears to have been a trickle down of the package from 918 to 2RS and 3RS could we see it come to the GT3?
If so would you spec it?

I’m guessing that Weissach will be for RS models only.

Maybe magnesium wheels, other carbon parts and a roll cage are all possibilities.

In the past, they were always able to show a big performance advantage for the RS over the base GT3 with the addition of bespoke Cup R tires. Now that Cup R tires are confirmed for the GT3 for the first time, they need to save whatever remaining tricks are available for the RS (aside from the 25hp and 17 ft-lbs advantage of a 4.2L motor).

If we use the 991 Weissach Pkg as baseline, PAG really didn't offer much in terms of different components.

It was basically carbon fiber for the roof, anti-roll bars, coupling rods, paddle shifters, and steering wheel trim. Plus carbon fiber parts that were unpainted and thinner carpeting as well as some cosmetic touches on the embroidery for the headrests on the seats.

I don't see why this formula couldn't be duplicated in the 992 series even with standard carbon fiber roof for the "regular" GT3.

Carbon Fibre roof is already an option for a 992 Carrera. I’d be disappointed if it wasn’t standard on the GT3 (painted body color standard, bare as option maybe)

Very hopeful that Porsche will give us the ability to expose the bonnet and wing. There's a lot of black plastic such as the front mouth that I would love to see as a carbon option. Porsche only stands to make a ridiculous sum of money should they decide to have carbon options even half as extensive across the interior and exterior as Ferrari and McLaren...

I’m personally ok with all that black plastic at the nose - takes abuse pretty well and inexpensive to replace. I have nothing against those who want to option carbon, but I hope there’s an option to avoid paying for it.

So glad the front splitter is not CF - that would take thousands to replace (like on McLarens) and many owners would have to.

I'm definitely a keep the splitter plastic. Roads down under are awful and bound to scrap even with nose lift. The quote on quote "whale mouth" would look amazing in carbon in my opinion. I would just love to see Porsche expand their carbon option list instead of having to go aftermarket brands such as techart

You've exhausted that path and now moved over here to Rennlist?
