this was posted on autoblog - not sure i give it much cred but it's an interesting idea. it's says the next GT3 may be PDK only and mid engined.

heard about the Mid Engine Part, but i am sure PDK would be an Option... After all Paddle Shift kicks ***!!!

i just read the source article from 0-60 that autoblog quotes. it doesn't state it will be mid engined, just that "the engine has been moved forward slightly to give the new GT3 balance similar to a mid-engined car."

bad translation by autoblog, imo.

The economics would be staggering given the limited production. I would guess thst it would be minor as its still a 991.

When is the GT3 likely to be updated?

Zookie

2013 Model, 991 comes out this Year as 2012...

the 4.0L 997.2 GT3-RS LE goota come out First lols

so probably 2014 for the 991 GT3?

Ronan

My guess is 2014

Nope. You won't see the 991 on these shores until 2012.

Which is good. They still haven't released the GT4S yet.

This gives me a few years to save up for a down payment. Should be a great car, new engine and 200 lbs lighter with PDK as a option though I am sure that will raise the weight up a bit.

Zookie

We still have to wate for these to come out

^ your chart is STILL missing the black editions

Porsche will tread carefully with engine layout.
Rear = 911
Mid = Boxster/Cayman

Now a Cayman GT3 might be interesting at the right price point, but I don't think they'll build it as it would be too good.

what about half decaffinated half caf, with a twist of lemon.....
