991.2 GT3 Cup - First official Pictures
 

There she is! 4.0 with 485 hp!

And no. 2.

Notice that they actually didn't change that much! New bumpers/ lights, new doors to get the 991.2-looks and new engine/ modified tranny to fit onto the engine. Wheels, chassis and almost all the other parts remain the same.

You're quick Yannick. did you build the stand ? (ha ha)
Would there be a more 'intelligent performance" aspect to this than the GenI ?

Disappointing the new car ..could have done more with the body to look different ..! Good for precent 991 owners I guess

Now the official Press-Shots

Rear...

Top view... Notice: The rescue-hatch is bigger!

And the interiour...

Two more switches on the center-console.

Ha. Just posted similar thread on other forum.

Don't understand the disappointment on styling changes. It's based on .2 GT3 body; exactly as it's always been. Real news is the motor. Time will tell how this plays out.

Here's the brochure:

I thought the 991.2 chassis was going to have some differences with the 991.1. Is that not the case?

The big news is indeed the engine. Wonder if it's based on the current 991 GT3 one.

engine is 4l, same as RS / GT3R.

Detuned to make 80h engine life.

engine a lot lighter than mezger too

They claim that they increased engine-lifetime up to 100 hours and tranny-lifetime up to 60 hours. (Both 100%-increase!)

Sounds good on the first sight, but I wonder how much the rebuild for the engine after 100 hours is´? Or is it like with the R8 LMS where you can put it in a junkyard after it reached it´s lifetime of 20k km´s?

I had heard it was different as well, but the only thing they mentioned at the launch last night was reinforcements around the rear sub-frame mount (to help protect it in a crash) and slightly modified roll cage. (symmetric design now).

They claimed 22k US for the engine rebuild and 8K for the 30 hour inspection and 20k for the 60hr rebuild of the transmission.
