Re: 997 GT2 RS
IMO, without a modern DFI and PDK it won't be a technology tour de force to rival 458 italia, SLS etc.
It will be just another ultra fast car for the track specialists.
I'll be very disappointed if Porsche stick to the stone age with the Metzger engine and a 6- speed manual. The game has moved on by competitors.

Believe me, if this car has indeed 600hp (or even more) it will kill everything out there including the 458 Scuderia and the new McLaren. Just look at the improved lap times from GT3 to GT3 RS this major jump in terms of performance was achieved with only a minor hp upgrade (major improvements beeing shorter gearing, wider front tires, new tire mix, new suspension setup). If you take these mods and then add another 70, 80 or 90hp (!) (compared to GT2 Mk2) the result will be mind blowing 
Of course, also adding PDK would bring another significant performance increase. But Porsche needs some headroom for the next generations of the 911 
Re: 997 GT2 RS
Some rumours spread on the net indicate a 0-200 of slightly below 10s and a 0-300 of about 25s. Should be correct IF the car indeed had 620hp (which I still doubt very, very much). With the shorter gearing (top speed unchanged compared to GT2 Mk1) the above acceleration numbers could be correct

If those numbers are confirmed , Porsche hit hard and wanted to make a point.

Exactly !!! They got fed up of seing the Gt2 being compared to the Datsun... I guess Nissan made a point too

Re: 997 GT2 RS
Many thanks for first pics and info 
Those intercooler air intakes look interesting, the intercooling was a bit of a problem for getting more power, these look like a functional solution for greater volume of air flow across the intercoolers = 620 reliable hp.......
90kg saving is very impressive, can't wait for final details....
What are people's thoughts on that rear wing, is it the same as the regular GT2

Re: 997 GT2 RS
MKSGR:
How did they manage to reduce the weight by 90kg. That is nearly as mysterious as the (hopefully real...) hp figure of 620...
So they will be quoting 1350kg presumably ?
Weight savings :
New centrelock wheels save ~12kg
there was talk of a carbon roof skin ~6kg
carbon doors and hood ~15kg
Carrera GT seats ~10kg
No PCM 3 ~10kg
Even less sound deadening ~10kg
add in roll cage +15kg
Rudimentary door trims ~6kg
Plexiglass rear and side glass ~6kg
Single mass flywheel ~4kg
That is 64kg net saving..... now I am struggling 
Anyone feel free to correct or add to the above guesstimates

Maybe the quote the weight with a small (optional) 67l tank?

The gap might be closed by the delete air conditioning 
I think PCM and air conditioning are key options. That might then imply a net weight reduction of about 40kg - not bad though
Re: 997 GT2 RS
I can confirm the number that Stefan posted.
Price will be huge, specially with some options.
Interior is a la 997.2 GT3RS...
Weight is without any option. So, NO Navi or any sound system for example.
Also... According to my info 997.2 GT3RS is the sportscar for KENNER. Or for very, very skilled sportscar driver.

More or less a car for experts and enthusiasts.

Honestly, I am most interested in whether the car is also approved for winter tires
P.S.: According to SportAuto the GT3RS is even more comfortable - no joke... - than the regular GT3. The perfect daily driver

If you check out the GT3RS there are not that many options available. Might well be that the GT2 just needs some 10k in options to be a perfect allrounder: PCM, sound, phone and some small items. Not much more

Is the GT3RS approved for winter tyres? Interesting to find that it is more comfortable than the basic GT3.
