That's where my money is, figuratively and literally (i.e. deposit).

Headed to the Geneva autoshow on the 9th, so hoping to get a really up close view of the 991.2 GT3.

Doesn't that it won't come along eventually.

A new GT4 (RS or not) wouldn't come along until the final MY of the 981.2's anyways.

Most likely is a 3.0 turbo, more tuned than that in the 911.2 GTS.
GT2 Is turbo.
Also don't forget about CAFE standards.

Not possible to fit that engine for reasons already discussed and confirmed so many times on the forum that's it's a real shame to rehash bad info like this... just takes convo so far off track.

Have you not gone through the mod threads on here to see what people got and how they got there?

Unless Porsche has a quantum change in philosophy, the GT4 will not trump the GT3 around the Nurburgring or any other racetrack, suggesting these rumours however fanciful, are just that, rumours.

People who wish for a PDK in the GT4 do not understand the philosophy of this car. The manual is one of the highlights of the GT4 and most involving. Just my humble opinion ...
