Will the GT2 Be Hybrid?
#16
As (also) illustrated by the improvements (in laptimes) of the 992 GT3 vs. its predecessor's, where "all" that has changed has been the suspension and aero (if you discount the individual throttle bodies modification to the 991.2 engine - made in the Speedster and the 992 GGT3)

"that is in fact the point, RS evolution both compared to its peer GT3 model and across subsequent generations has never been primarily about power increase, to jo_ker 's point, its evolution has. been about suspension and aero improvements... "
We all get it. Porsche GT cars are not about raw powers and straightline performance. BUT, when all are moving towards turbo and hybrid we don't want to get creamed, esp. by those brands selling only 1/3 to half prices. There is a limit to what aeros and suspension can offset for the ever widening gap produced from a pure NA engine. They do sound great ! but at some point, the price we pay does not make sense anymore for an RS. Now if Porsche can massively reduce weight (by 150 kg or more) it will make a difference but the price point will be very different. A relative low-weight hybrid power system is the only way to go.
