Had a chat with my dealer yesterday about this, when i was getting new tyres on my GT3.

He hinted heavily at it coming. Interestingly he had an RS in the showroom that was a customer order that seems to now be falling through as he offered me the car. I got the impression he like many dealers are a little bit pissed about this 4.0 RS as it is causing many customers to cancel / put orders on hold.....

IMO In the short term it is going to maybe dent the resale value of the Gen 2 RS, but i think when the car is launched the 3.8 cars will be just as sort after as this 4.0 block is going to be a lot more expensive and appeal to a slightly different market due to what i anticipate to be much higher running costs.

Dare i say it, but given the nature of the 4.0 engine might the car only be able to be serviced by a select few specialist OPCs ?
