The 4.0L NA engine will remain in the 992.2 GT3/RS. I know this because the engine is homologated for the GT3 Cup cars until 2028. The question is, will the 992.2 GT3 RS use a mild hybrid setup with the 4.0L NA engine or not.
The info I have is after 2028 the GT3 and GT3 Cup car will have a 4 cylinder turbo engine with hybrid system!

Porsche knows the popularity of their GT cars is due to NA motor, so they will continue making it as long as regulations allow. The breaking point will be when EU emissions make it impossible, but as we have seen with GT4 RS they have been able to skirt regulations due to limited numbers produced. I have no insider info, but would be shocked if 992.2 GT3 doesn’t continue with NA 4.0. the fascinating thing will be how the new 3.6 NA with hybrid performs, it might be a game changer with the added low end torque.

What are the chances we'll see the GT3 R's 4.2L in production (ever)?
Would be a huge bummer to only ever see that on the track in the GT3 R (and R rennsport in theory).

I've heard from a credible source who knows about line up of cars for next 18 months or so that 992.2 gt3 will be launched late this year or early next year. Approx 1500-2000 cars will be built with 4.0l from 3RS for worldwide market, then a 992.2.2 GT3 will be launched by end 2025 with 3.6l hybrid.

It has been done before for Europe. The 991.2 3RS was changed to 991.2.1 to include GPF after intial run of cars!

Or will it be a compromised modular approach that shares basic architecture with the next GTS and Turbo (that are also rumored to share 3.6L displacement)?
If it's the real-deal Motorsports effort, I'd expect 10k redline. If it's more compromised wet sump with conventional valvetrain, we would likely see redline lower than today's 9k...

I have no doubt that the objective performance of a 3.6L NA plus hybrid will be impressive. My big question is whether cost-cutting will be manifested in how the 3.6L is made. Will it continue to be the highest quality (and most expensive) version of a Motorsports engine with things like hollow crankshaft, titanium conrods, true dry sump with separate oil tank, racing valvetrain without hydraulics that never needs adjustment??
