Re: OFFICIAL: 911 R (2016)
Whoopsy:pmarkow:question:gt3rs.2? i hear yes but would be happy with no. and the OTHER car: when?
btw, what will the gt3.2 do which the gt3rs.1 can't?
cheers p
.2GT3RS, I cannot confirm or deny yet. Sorry. Same for questions concerning GT2/GT2RS.
The OTHER car will be a resurrection of a historic name plate. All I can say.
The gen 2.5 engine in the .2 GT3 is an evolution of the gen 2 4.0 in the GT3R which has a completely new oiling system, it will not grenade itself
Will be race proven at least.
The engine in the current RS and the R is a gen 1.5, they are an improvement over the gen 1 engine in the current GT3.
.2 GT3 will have a evolutionary exterior design, mixed reactions from the 918 owners, some like it, some don't. Personally I like the new design, more aggressive. It will still narrow body so not gonna have the wide tires from the RS. The 'major' difference will be the inclusion of the option for manual gearbox.
Engine output should be right around 500HP. Slightly less than the current GT3RS, as even though the GT3RS is rated at 500HP, the ram air effect from the side intake at speed will give it a little bit more.
I don't have a 991 GT3, so buying the .2GT3 is a no brainer as it serves a different purpose than the RS. Motorsports treats the GT3 as the 'sports' model while the RS is the 'track' model. Hell I will likely spec sports seats instead of buckets. The NA engine bark is so much sexier than the disappointing 991.2 turbo engines, those little turbos are a major disappointment in the sound department that's for sure.
thanks, interesting. i apparently misunderstood since i thought the other car is the GT2RS.....
whoopsy, i'd like to know how you find time to drive all your cars:::))))
