There is no reason for Porsche not to squeeze out another 992.2 NA GT3RS, the gov. regs will allow it, especially if the 992.2 GT3 is right around the corner with their typical ".2" formula. They will sell NA GT3's until the very, very end.
Hoping next time around my name gets drawn out of the hat for an RS, at my local dealer "list". With 60+ 992.1 GT3RS's currently listed for sale on car gurus (at crazy prices, mind you), it's clear all the flippers are trying to make their money. That's more than all other generation RS's combined. Tells you all you need to know. Hopefully by the time the .2 comes around, alot of the hype will be gone and alot of actual buyers who intend to keep and USE the car as intended will get an allocation.

Porsche basically owns RIMAC as far as I know and they have pretty much maxed out the 4.0 engine, have they not?
Unless they decide to go 4.2L which they use in the GT3R and GT3 Rennsport.
What else can they really do? More aero and downforce? That´s what the 992 GT3RS is.

I really wonder if it will have any hybrid assistance.

Anyone know if there are any good rumours on the engine?

The only way to make a big improvement to engine output and remain purely NA is to keep the same cylinder dimensions and redline and add 2 more cylinders. This would result in a 5.33L Flat-8 with 33% more power and torque.
However, my personal preference would be to leave the engine alone and make the car smaller and lighter...
