Re: 991 GT3 RS
991.2 GT3 RS with 520 hp 4.0 liters. Production until end of summer, same for the regular GT3. No more additional allocations for GT3 units like many suggested. There’s no viable solution for reducing emissions to meet the regulations.
This is what I found on a german forum, take it for what it’s worth. He didn’t specify if this was true for markets outside of Europe.

Re: 991 GT3 RS
If the rumor of the limited production run is true, then, a lot of people will get disappointed. Even more so, if it is going to be the very last NA GT3 RS.
It's going to be Geneva 2015 all over again: "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Sir, these are all spoken for already"...
On the other hand, I don't understand, why Porsche would go through the hassle of R&D for only a couple hundred units. They also skipped the regular GT2 for instance.
Time will tell.

Re: 991 GT3 RS
noone1:I guess it only matters if you're a collector and care about things like history. If you want cars from what they are -- cars -- then the best NA GT3 RS of all time definitely isn't any of the ones coming out of the factory.
I don't follow your logic, noone1.
You question why the last NA GT3 RS is the best, because you think you can mod any older model (e.g. 997) into becoming "the best NA GT3 RS of all time"?
Why can't you project this idea of modding onto the last iteration of GT3 RS?

Re: 991 GT3 RS
DaveGordon:Sure, but a .2 GT3 is still quicker, and of course the .2 RS will put that in the shade as well. My plan B is indeed to get a .1 RS and have Manthey optimise it within the realms of what is possible without stupid Swiss pieces of paper.
Dave, I cross my fingers that you'll get one

I theory you could, but you'll be up against diminishing returns. It also becomes a question of why the latest RS is better than the previous one, and if aftermarket parts for both are better/equal.
If .1 and .2 would use the same aftermarket parts, then that becomes a wash.
As long as your desired performance is beyond stock and below the max, then either car would suffice.

Re: 991 GT3 RS
Some details abut the car:
No rear wheel steering, 18" wheels, GT4 5 lugs hubs, brakes from cup, all unnecessary wiring removed etc.
Suppose that the front is Cup. I think the end is RSR but not sure.
The endplates on the wing is from 991 RS - they where not allowed to us use original end plates by TÜV.

Kobalt:Gauss:Why can't you project this idea of modding onto the last iteration of GT3 RS?
Not an RS but a properly prepped 991 GT3. Engine and PDK is original the rest is more or less modified.
That's pretty slick. The sky is the limit with 911s. You could probably turn a road car into a cup car if you really wanted to. Not saying you would, but yeah, you probably could.
Depends where you live, but most places in the US have no sort of inspection and you can run anything you want, anywhere you want.
