Default 911 R Launch...

"Stuttgart. Geneva, for Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, is traditionally the place for world premieres of very special sports cars. The company reveals the 718 Boxster at this year’s Geneva International Motor Show for the first time, with its turbocharged four-cylinder flat engine and new design. The second world premiere is a strictly limited-edition vehicle. The unveiling will take place during the Porsche press conference on March 1, starting 9.25 a.m. (CET) at the Porsche stand 1050 at the Palexpo, Hall 1. "

Close your eyes and imagine a 991 GT3 with no rear wing. There!

That would be great but I don't think Porsche will do a Cayman GT4 RS anytime soon unless they go narrow body with it. Maybe on the 987.2, but I doubt Porsche would invest the $ into a GT4 RS model when there's 991.2 GT3 and GT3 RS that they need to develop.

heard that Rector Porsche managed to get two allocations. they asked a person i know if they were interested in one, which seemed weird to me as he isn't a 918 owner or even a GT3 RS owner.

R model-There's been pics and short write ups for some time different web sites I believe with guesses of what the car will look like and how equipped; looks like narrow body no winged and I think I remember manual shifted and GT3 motor.

I have a deposit on one hoping for an allocation. And I specifically asked about the 918 guys getting first dibbs. One dealer said that is the case, another dealer said that is not the case. Guess where I put my deposit. ;-)

Can't wait to see a nice clean image of the car...

Am I the only one who is MEH on this?
Ok, fit the RS wing, maybe it's sweet.
But it's not a GT car regardless and not an RS.

I'm with you. I need wing.

It's a fast and expensive GTS.
