I think the gt3 with wing delete gives a prettier ducktail.

This is probably a good indicator of how big the duck tail needs to be for very high speed aero stability.

Unless it's got a GT motor it's really nothing more than a GTS with ducktail. (they will sell every single one)

I think it's got a Turbo S motor, RWD, and Manual (not sure if 6spd or 7spd)...

I guess the most recent similar car would be 997 GT2 RS...

You want to take a stab on the price?

It has to be $180k, I would love one but I'm not going to trade my 991.2 in and still have a $70k+ note. I just can't justify that for a non-GT car.

Gotta be much more - think Turbo S price with Exclusive cosmetics and limited production (numbered plaque) - thinking closer to Speedster price…

I am guessing 230 - 250k pre- pandemic, looking at the crazy AM I am sure Porsche will want to squeeze some - so 250 - 270k

Could be right, my assumption was a standard Turbo engine (maybe even de-tuned for the manual transmission), fewer standard features (i.e. no PCCB standard, no AWD). More of a pumped up GTS trim with exclusive cosmetics and a plaque (look at how much the 991 club coupes were, not much more than a GTS of the similar year). But time will tell!

Maybe you could order this tail and install it.

Sorry, but that ducktail just looks stupid on the 992. They really should give up on trying to slap nostalgia pieces on modern designs, especially one as ugly as the *** end of the standard 992.

Do you know if this mule has air intakes in front of the rear wheels à la TT/S?

My dealer is hearing "unconfirmed " build total of 499. Don't know if that number is world wide or just NA?

But if you look at the last Sport Classic (997), I think it was very expensive…
