sure. But there’s zero chance it rolls out with less hp than the 991.

There were rumors there wasn't going to be one due to R&D considerations and decreased production capacity. Is the new one confirmed now?

no. But look at all the special edition and heritage 992.1 models. There will be a gt2 or gt2rs like thing, and a speedster like thing at the end of the 992.2 run. The wild card is if they will do something entirely new like the Dakar …

It's not a question of if they'll build a GT2RS, it's if they'll slap a number badge on it or not.

is it ? I guess I don’t care either way. The car will be impressive regardless of its obtainability. The 991 was limited so I assume it will be again. Why wouldn’t it ? So Porsche could have less of a feeding frenzy and make less profit ? Lolwha ?

This is going to **** a bunch of people off, although my question has logic imho:

Given the huge power the 992GT2RS will have, is it perhaps time that Porsche makes the car AWD? You can’t keep trying to defy psychics regardless of how great your aerodynamicists and software engineers are. Of course, the vast majority of the cars will be parked in the garage in a plastic bubble and driven to C&C; very few will be taken to a road course. The car can easily be differentiated from a TTS, but those extra two driven wheels may well make it less of a ‘handful’ on a road course.

McLarens boast almost 800ps and are rwd.

Its should've always been AWD.

feels good.

with the senna level aero from the 3RS, a 992 gtsrs could easily stay rwd if Porsche wanted

Unlikely. Given all the aero on RS (e.g., aero-optimized front control arms, brake ducting etc), it's probably hard to package AWD. AWD also adds weight and requires additional cooling capacity, which is already a bottleneck for a high-hp turbo car. And the benefit on track is small - when powering out of low-speed corners, most of the weight shifts to the rear, especially in the 911, so the front tires barely have any grip, and they need it for cornering.

Porsche makes Turbo models for those who want AWD…

True, and they don't have the engine on top of/behind the rear wheels

I think the McLaren Speedtail has over 1,000 hp and is RWD…

NFW - should be RWD, like a proper GT car. This isn't AMG or the M division.

And that is not just a view because I feel like saying it, this is informed by two days of Masters training after driving a Turbo S and 992 3RS and 992 GT3 and 992 C2S on the same track, in some cases wet conditions.
Preferred 992 3RS (obviously), and the 992 GT3 and even the C2S vs. the Turbo S. Driving the Turbo S, with the weight, AWD and turbo lag was painful (even in the rain).
However, hats off to those that can exploit the Turbo S on track - I find it was great to hide a bunch of mistakes since it covers its issues with raw power, but I really felt uncomfortable driving it, to the point it was irritating and my times sucked with it. Had more fun and better time driving a C2S.
