992 GT3 RS speculation and expectations
do you have information?
can we bet on a 4.2 as for the RSR? we know that the 992 GT3 will make 520 HP with a engine comparable to that of the speedster and active aerodynamics.
knowing that the 992 is heavier than the 991, a little more torque and power will be needed.

If the 992 follows the 991, it seems like the 992.1 GT3 RS would be a 2025 model year perhaps. Wasn't the 991.1 GT3 RS a 2016 (the sixth model year)? And if the 992.2 ends up being a non-plugin hybrid, then will the 992.1 GT3 RS be the last non-hybrid GT3 RS, or have we already seen the last non-hybrid GT3 RS? I've no idea, but I can't wait to find out :-)

Not the same class and I'm not too familiar with GTE regs vs GT3, but Honda/Acura was able to get the NSX GT3 homologated on basis of the hybrid road car just fine. No reason to assume they couldn't race it with the electric motor between engine and transmission (which the 992 has space for) simply left out. The engine stays the same and the PDK is replaced by a sequential anyway.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a 992 GT3RS with KERS. I read a rumor that it may get it, possibly an additional 200hp/200tq.
If they can keep the weight down and the engine stays N/A with a 9k redline, that would be awesome.
For now, I’m enjoying the heck out of my 991.2 3RS.

That's interesting you noted that, because I was just reading about it.. I'm not greatly familiar with GTE regs as well. I think most of us that follow wouldn't be pleased if they were to standardize a hybrid & homologate it into the 911RSR. I haven't heard or read anything that would lead me to believe that is the direction their heading. Who knows..
On the GT front, calls for convergence between GT3 and GTE will probably amplify.

991.2 GT3 in Geneva 2017 and .2 RS 1 in 2018
now 992.1 GT3 is for 2020
thus 992.1 RS in 2022 and 992.2 RS in 2027
if GTE motorspirt rules before 2026 will benefit any hybridization (likely) then it would be highly probable a 992.1 Hybrid RS
