50 Hp more? yeah right!
It took Sharkwerks a custom and aggressive ECU tune, a track exhaust with low back pressure, an 8800 rpm redline and a 3.9 to put just 450 whp on 93 octane fuel. Porsche can't match that with a 4.0L, not with the necessary sound restrictions, different markets, 91 octane fuel and longevity required by a street car.
Carbon roof? not going to happen, it would need a new crash test.
Carbon fenders? yes, as a $$$ option. They will probably save less than 50 lbs over the 2011 RS, let's be realistic, they are not going to switch to an Aluminum or Carbon car for a short run, they need to make money.
My predictions:
- No more than 485Hp
- No PDK
- No more than 50 lbs lighter than the 2011 GT3 RS
- No a lot better downforce than the 2011 GT3 RS
- No plastic windows
- No one-piece bucket seats
- Rear tires from the GT2 RS (they have more grip than the 2011 GT3 RS rear tires).

re: PDK, if it were possible/cost effective PAG would have mated the PDK to the GT-1 block for the 2010/11 GT3/RS, or even GT2RS production run they would not wait for the end of the production run and a limited edition car to recoup the R&D on that ...

It will for the following customers:
1. Collectors who will preserve the car in perfect shape with minimal use (particularly not thrash it on the track).
2. Those who will thrash it on the track and will appreciate the added performance.
3. Those for whom the extra $60k is not a big issue and just want the coolest, best performing naturally aspirated factory 911 ever made that is street-legal.

So really, the only customers for whom this car is not are the ones who can't afford it... me.

We can talk about it all day long..
The thing that separates the men from the boys is when you have to pay for it!
There are some GT2RS waiting for homes
