hold on Tuned version of the 3.8 carrera S engine?? The GT3 would/should have the "gt1 based" engine shouldn't it? I hate it when they speak without having real info...

If they use the 3.8L wet sump, many enthusiats (including myself) would be furious. But, PAG would save ALOT of $$$. That scares me, but I'm going to hope that they don't dilute the GT3...

This quote is taken from the French OFFICIAL website of Porsche!
And I checked the British one which is right, they do not say the 997 engine has dry sump lubrication, unlike that french quote!
Who do I contact at Porsche AG to let them know their French IT department is crap!
Still can't believe it! On the OFFICIAL website!

They can't. Unlike the carreras, the GT3 is used in racing so it HAS to have a dry sump.
The journalists are just passing on and on the rumor that the engine is derived from the carerra. I don't know who started it but just becasue its a 3.8l doesn't mean its from the 997S engine, and just because it may start with the M97 designation doens't mean its from the 997S either. The 996GT3 is M96 and so are all the other 996 engines, including the carrera. M97 is just the family designation.
The Turbo maybe, but the GT3 has to have a dry sump more that any other model.

the GT3 is used in club sport, but will it really be the base model for the supercup 997? and is it the homologation model for the FIA GT and ALMS series? the GT3 RSR is quite new and was homolgated by the (996) GT3 RS.
i've heard this rumour that the 997 GT3's engine will be a tuned version of the 997 carrera engine way too often. there must be some thruth about it.
my guess #1: the GT3 will get the carrera engine (maybe they planned an offspring with dry sump?). should be more cost-effective in the long term than sticking to the 964 engine for turbo, GT2 and GT3.
my guess #2: for FIA/ALMS homologation they will bring out some super-GT3, maybe again called RS, with a totally different engine -- probably based on the current 964 crankcase again
