hmm..I disagree a bit but the question was here about the 991 GT3RS..

so - maybe the person who puts this rumour should tell us where her heard it- was it a Porsche source?

 

Yeah I got that. This is a pointless post. Why in the world would anyone have this info now!? Ask it when the GT3 comes out. We still have to get the 991 coupe then the 991 cab then the 991C4 then the 991 Turbo then the 991 GT3 then MAYBE the 991 GT3RS. Not to mention all the other non 911 stuff like Boxster and Cayman and Cajun and whatever else.

Still doenst sound like a premature rumor to you?

 

Yes, the rumour is a bit premature...but I know people working for engine supplier parts her in Germany - they also make parts for 991 - and have been making parts for 997 GT3 too. From them I have heard that the 991 GT3 will be the last GT3 Porsche will make...plus I know of some engine 9A1 GT3 details too..but thats a different story..

So - yes maybe premature...but the worrying thing is there are more and more of these things appearing ..

 

Sounds like a load of horse shit to me

 

theyre soo succesful why would they stop them, i doubt it

 

Personally I don't mind early rumours as long as we are all in agreement that it's only speculation. Just because the probablility of truth behind the rumour is lower we should refrain from even discussing them completely? That's silly. If you don't believe in them fine, but some of us still find it entertaining and fun to discuss eventual future cars and share our thoughts and ideas.

If you don't want to read it, stay out of the thread.

 

Two reasons this sounds like bull:

A.) The GT and RS models have been nothing but PR gold for Porsche. Even if the company loses money on every one, they're worth twice their price in terms of the media attention and excitement the generate among car lovers.

B.) There's no way Porsche has fleshed out its plans for whatever generation comes after the 991 (the 992?) that firmly. A 992 GT3 would be at least ten years away. Heck, even a 991 GT3 RS would be at least three or four years away, and I bet the Porsche engineers could easily figure out how to turn a GT3 into a GT3 RS within 12 months.

If we reach a point where Porsche announces the 992 Carrera and we still haven't seen a 991 GT3 RS...then you can worry.

 

If Porsche is going to whore out the 991 like they did with the 997, you sure as shit can count on there being at least one version of the GT3RS.

 

I heard there will be the 991 RS but it will not be imported into France. I read it on the internet so it's true.

 

None of the 991's, just like the 997 are in direct competition with the 458. Its a different market segment (NOT different clients, but very different missions to be accomplished by each car).


Porsche will answer the 458 with something else. Until then, breath, eat some popcorn and wait...

we'll hear something about an RS maybe in the next year or so.
