Futch:

I think the Porsche 991 Turbo will be like all the other 911 Turbo, a sporty GT.

The spot described by your numbers RC will be taken by the new model that will slot between the 911 and the 918, a direct competitor to the 12C, next 458 etc. and closer to the 300k euros price tag.

 

This is the problem with Porsche. Their GT-R competitors are in the supercar class in terms of price and therefore any impact is taken away. It is no good if the  GT2 RS or the new model you describe beats the GT-R. Porsche need an aspirational model that ordinary enthusiasts and fans of the marque could afford, like the 993 Turbo was in its time.

Why the 458 has never been compared with the GT-R in terms of NBR time? Because Ferrari is a supercar brand and no one who buys Ferrari even thinks of a Nissan. Porsche are a premium manufacturer now with the SUVs etc, just above Mercedes and BMW perhaps, and they need much stronger products at any given price bracket to be credible as a manufacturer of special cars.
