Re: 991 GT2 RS (2017) - Rumors, speculations and gossip
Whoopsy:BjoernB:same goes to R8 fanatics
At least the Audi is part of the VAG family
And R8 development is (partially) in Porsche hands (already) but the real work will start with the new platform.

Latest rumor: No specific limitation but car production limited by parts availability from exhaust system manufacturer (which is a small manufacturer, very likely Akrapovic but not confirmed). Rumors indicate a maximum of 2000 cars maybe...

Only the rumor with that 4.2 l engine and 530 hp...for 2018. Not 100% yet though but very likely to come.

Re: 991 GT2 RS (2017) - Rumors, speculations and gossip
From what I still hear and according to my earlier post, GT2 RS realese Frankfurt 2017 and .2 GT3 RS Geneva 2018, but who knows....
Regarding the GT3 RS the 4,2 l engine seems to be more and more confirmed , but regarding hp levels I've heard 550, 530 (RC) and even 525 lately.
But all this is next year and now it's time to focus on this years track season and the try out of the new engine put in my .1 GT3. Checked and sorry to say, they didn't put in the .2 engine....😎

LP997:
Hmm, well, that's not what I would call a professional foiling job... 
... however, what would be the significance of these batman style look outs in the windscreen ? The easy answer would be a simple sun shade, what I guess it is, on the other hand, as everything from Porsche is scrutinized and discussed in length in this forum and maybe the windscreen may have been taken from an R8 V10 Plus, this would leave some food for thought...

Re: 991 GT2 RS (2017) - Rumors, speculations and gossip
The GT2 puts some serious torque on the road, so for the occasional track fun in the hands of the average talented amateur driver, the GT3 RS is definetely the better (and cheaper) choice.

bluelines:Following the same logic, the GT4 is an even better choice
Plus you learn more from driving a slow car fast than a fast car slow.
Not that a GT4 is slow, but it is much more of a momentum car.

It IS amazing how much faster the white ones are isn't it?!? Must be the 2lbs less paint and 80hp extra the factory gives the white"true motorsport" cars. Or maybe the titanium in the white paint creates some sort of temporal bubble allowing the car to pass through space at a slightly different rate.
