    Ford's answer to the GT3RS. Arguably more advance as the GTD will have rear inboard suspensions.

    Very cool suspension details on this one.  Not so impressed with just keeping the GT500 engine with more boost though (and dry sump).  Maybe GT350 high-revving motor with twin turbos would have been more interesting...

    As I understand Ford should be taking this engine to go WEC and IMSA racing.

    Easier to pack the torque curve under the horsepower limit with this engine than turbo-ed the other.

    Makes sense - probably more reliable for endurance racing too…

    The GT3 RS paved the road for extravaganza . Interesting car. Will be very interesting to see how it performs. 

    But 300k base price ! 


    Re: OFFICIAL: Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS - 2022

    Cause all of these are in carbon fibre:

    And the trick and unique suspension layout:

    ford-mustang_100894707_h.jpeg

    Literally only the shape semi-resemble a normal Mustang.

    Honestly, this car is much more worthy of the price tag than the 992 S/T,

    Jim Farley the CEO of Ford has issued a challenge to CEO's of other manufacturers to race him with their fastest car. He's quite confident in the performance of the GTD. Think Blume will accept the challenge?

    Basically the whole car is in carbon .... Better not hit anything, not even touching with the bumper. 

    I really hope it will perform  as good at it's parts and layouts and be reliable. It would then put lots of pressure on the competition. As Blueflame mentioned, GT2 RS will be the next benchmark , but at what price ?

      Are you thinking about getting the Mustang ?


    Re: OFFICIAL: Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS - 2022

    Nah. I don't think I will, or I can. 

    With about 2000 units, it will be a blood bath trying to secure one as I don't have status with Ford. 

    While it should be decently light with all those carbon panels, the car is going to be big, big even compared to the 992.

    No, its focus is clearly on road racing (basically a street legal version of their road racing entry).  The Rimac Nevera couldn't break 7 minutes with 2,000 hp (or whatever it has)...

    So far, I heard there will be the following:

    992.2 GT3

    992.2 GT3 Touring

    992.2 GT3

    992.2 GT3 RS

    992.2 GT2 RS Smiley (got this from one source only, not sure if accurate).

    Also, I heard rumors about another special (limited?) edition model but I said it before, my contacts to Porsche are more casual compared to the past, so my information could be inaccurate or outdated.

    Then the next generation goes electric and shares its basic components with the Volkswagen Golf Mk.9.  This is what happens when your faceless bureaucrats from the EU place regulations that control the means of production and the companies no longer build product to meet consumer demand.   


    Re: OFFICIAL: Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS - 2022

    Unfortunately the EU is a combination of clueless, incompetent and not serious. And Germany leads by example. Who shuts off 15% of their energy production, which is zero CO2, in an energy crisis? And claims to be committed to CO2 reduction? Not to mention ignoring the importance of energy for domestic industry. Hmmm

    "Fun" fact, all of Germany's CO2 reducing efforts where offset by having to increase fossil fuels use to compensate for shutting off their nuclear power plants. Net reduction of CO2, zero. And now the EU labeled nuclear power as green energy after the fact and would take decades to make nuclear energy plants running again. You can't make this stuff up.

    And Germany is just over example in Europe, the socialist government in Spain also reduced nuclear power plants without having enough renewables to take it's place... and legislated forced investments in renewables causing the electricity bill to skyrocket to the moon.

    The population supports this because educated and intelligent people (aka intellectuals) want to believe that we need to stop climate change. In my humble opinion, it is already too late to stop climate change IF not all major countries worldwide work together: They don't and they won't. Meaning: Whatever the EU and some countries are doing is basically pointless. Meanwhile, we ruin our economies, anger voters to a point where I wouldn't be surprised by a new rise of right wing forces (see AfD in Germany and a possible Trump win in the US) and in the end, it will be pure chaos.

    Who will profit from all this? Clear winners: Russia (of course), China and India.

    The West should stop putting their morality on their flags but instead care about REALITIES and imminent dangers coming from countries like Russia, China but in the future also Brasil, South Africa and others. The world isn't that simple (East/West) anymore, it is more complex and we need to adapt. I don't see any adaptation in the West, it is just hopeless.

    Regarding climate change, the most viable solution right now is to develop methods to lower the impact of climate change consequences, like severe weather for example. We should adapt, not try to stop it with everything we got because this WON'T work.

    Re: OFFICIAL: Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS - 2022

    The so called 'intellectuals' are too dumb to realize a couple facts that's staring them in their face.

    -The Earth's climate WILL always change. It's been changing for 4 billion years and will do so for 4 billion if not more years.

    -Human as a species are just a temporary occupant on this planet. 

    Adapt is the correct word. Dinosaurs can't adapt, well not quickly enough, hence they went extinct. And they were the primary species of live on Earth for far longer than humans. 

    Humans can react quicker than dinosaurs, and we should start adapting. Start by banning the use of wood to preserve our forest, which is the primary CO2 absorbent on Earth and they create oxygen that we all breathe on. 

    The immediate effect won't be feel by our generation, or the next or the one after, but a few hundred years later those humans will thank us. So no fame and glory for current politicians and scientists. 

    Gene therapy, DNA structuring should be a top medical priority. Yes modern medicine are very good a curing sickness, but for genetic illness, the bad gene is still there, and get passed on. The more we saved people with defective genes from dying, the more those bad genes get propagated to later generations, it's like natural selection in reverse, only the weakest survived. If we don't fix that, the eventual 'human' will be so weak they can only survive on pills.

    Re: OFFICIAL: Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS - 2022

    There is no evidence to suggest that the expensive solutions that the politicians are recommending will stop or even slow down Climate Change.  It's quire possible that we could follow every one of their recommendations, spend Trillion$ and make no impact on the climate whatsoever.
