Interesting that these Cayenne Coupe wheels are called "GT Design." Makes me think the GT3 wheels might look very similar.



Also I posted these photos of the Cayman wing:

This is the second video where it sounds hybrid. Hopefully US wont get particulate filters again but that whistle is LOUD. Also hoping its not plug in and just mild hybrid, but that sound might indicate a larger electric motor. If so the hp figures will be insane at the expense of sound.

Didn't I just read a report where one of the heads of Porsche said the GT3 and GT3 RS would remain NA? Maybe he purposefully did not mention that it was going to be NA-hybrid, or perhaps even he does not know yet? The vehicles could still be in development and they have not finalized the engine (+/- hybrid) yet.

Get your 991.2 GT3 and RS while you can, folks! Perhaps they will be the last purely NA GT3 and GT3 RS after all... Or not.

There is always a last na, na-hybrid, electric - just enjoy what you, the new ones will be better to drive.

Those look like the wheels seen on the new 718 GT4 mules.

No particulate filter in the US.

How is the RS the same weight as the GT3? What's the point/difference?

The true modern RS is the 987 Spyder at 2850 lbs -- almost 500lb(!?) lighter. If the 992 adds 200lbs...

The RS hasn't been much lighter than the GT3 since the 996 generation.

991.2 GT3 RS weighs the same as a PDK GT3 - at least it's not heavier despite the wider body, larger wheels, etc.

Sounds very much like an electric motor. The question is if they are just using the GT3 (or what looks like the GT3) as a test mule for the hybrid system planned for other models?

991.2 Speedster has 6 ITBs, so expect those to appear on 992 GT3
