520-525Hp from same 4.0 as 991.2 GT3, lighter weight, weight distributed forward even more, more aero, it will be faster, sub 7 min Nurburgring lap on Cup2-R tires for marketing...

Then they will make:

- PDK and Manual
- Another R
- Another Speedster
- RS
- Touring for the folks that could not get the R
- Cabriolet for the folks that could not get the Speedster

Worldwide dealers will have markups on all of them, and there will be more buyers than cars (hurt Ferrari, Chevrolet, Dodge, Lamborghini, McLaren, Mercedes, Audi sport car buyers tired of the huge depreciation on everything from those brands, joining the Porsche GT bandwagon for resale, and flooding this forum with the now common question about "car value").

I'm glad Porsche does such things. It's good for them and good for us the consumer. We have myriad choices and levels of performance to choose from, and at prices well below other high performance manufacturers. There are few Iconic sports car companies and Porsche is indeed one of them.

FSW at Rennsport:

When asked if he sees a long-term future of continuing with normally aspirated flat-six engines in its 911 GTE race cars, Walliser said it depends on the link to Porsche’s production cars.

“For sure, I look at the street cars,” he said. “If I asked the guys here [at Rennsport], ‘Should we stay normally aspirated or do you want a turbo?’ It’s only normally aspirated. If I go down in the paddock and ask, there’s craziness about normally aspirated engines.

“So this is very essential: the link to the street cars.

There is definitely something there, can see through the slit in one pic.. although could be frunk-based brake cooling like on the 991.2 RS?

The rear wing looks very movable... I would guess automatically so for angle as so many car manufacturers are doing this now.. considering previous turbo has the movable front splitter.. my guess is the gt3 has full active aero finally.

Lastly the wheels.. they look sort of thin, Ferrari-esque with that star design? And mirrors also bleah.

Maybe frunk is a camoed "Ferrari Pista"-esque S duct ?

Let’s hope the mirrors are like the RSR, new GT3 R, and 935

I heard that the 992 GT3 is in fact going to be NA while checking on the status of an inbound GT3T. Make of that what you will.

Directly from the salesman that is in charge of all GT sales of one of the more prominent dealerships.
