One question, why are you being so cautious with RPMs? On all my GT cars recently Porsche has recommended 1500km under 7k rpms? I would imagine that for a motor that revs so freely you would be lugging the motor most of the time which doesn’t seem wise. Just curious and congrats.
For the first 500 kilometers, I operate the engine in the range of 3000 to 5000 RPM. Then for the next 500, 6000, and so on, adding 1000 RPM per 500-kilometer increment.
I avoid making short trips, rather opting for 200 kilometers each time, while varying the engine speed quite frequently

see at 50 seconds.

I would guess the 992.2 GT3 will also inherit this engine with the hotter cam. Not trying to detract from the RS and S/T that have this engine now, just celebrating this future possibility…

From having my Touring to now having my 992 RS, the RS motor is def significantly cammier so to speak. I do like the mid end grunt from the T and miss it a bit, but the rush above 4500 is pretty killer...so will be a keep it buzzy vibe when driving for power...

992.2 GT3 Touring could well turn out to the best overall value/usability/aesthetic GT/RS in the 992 range.

Road legal RSR? Always expected a 50th anniversary for this…

It will be interesting to see what they do. I love a "cammy" engine in a weekend weapon type car, but they can be annoying to drive in traffic and one of the great things about a GT3 is the really usable powerband and midrange torque for daily driving.

With modern variable valve timing, it’ll be fine (just like the S/T and RS have good manners).

good one, however, inconclusive. Make sure you have English captions on.

Another special car in 12 months when they are having problems building cars that have already been released?

You are thinking in linear terms.

Next year's special edition car announcement drop will mean production in the following year (late 2025/early 2026). No conflict in production timeline. All of the 911ST, RS Spyder, GT3RS will be done by then
