991 GT3 - Gen 2

[Slickhillsy]

Spoke to my local Porsche dealer over the weekend and fired off a letter of intent for the gen 2 GT3, dealer said it should be released circa 12 months from now. Question I have to the more experienced Porsche purchasers on here...

Does anyone have a view on what the base price for the gen 2 might be, assuming there will be an uptick over the £100,540 base price for the gen 1? If not, would using the old 997 gen 1 to gen 2 pricing be a good indicator and if so does anyone know what that was?

Also - while we are on the subject, any views on what other changes might be expected other than the usual styling tweaks? Engine hike to 4.0 would make things very interesting!

Thanks in advance...

Lol 100% confirmed from who ? An OPC ;-)

Bloke in a pub / aka an OPC - same difference...

In all seriousness there is no reason not to expect a gen 2 car going on their previous GT3 history...

I'm curious - (not referring to the responses above but other threads) why do people think that there won't be a Gen2 GT3? Based on the 996 and 997 variants that would surely be a shift in Porsche strategy and for no apparent good reason?

If it was priced similarly to the 991.1 car...

Does anyone have a view on what the base price uptick might be using 997 g1 > g2 as an example?

According to the wonders of google

997.1 £79,540
997.2 £81,914

That obviously doesn't account for any spec differences, and I think that's base model cars (i.e. not club sport)

Edited to add for info - 997.2RS £104,841

Many thanks Graeme, well researched!

So a minor up tick anticipated...

Awaiting a spec from Porsche with baited breath...

Well... Whenever it does arrive I think the colour choice is a no brainer!!!

Such a stunning looking think in this colour, personally I think would also suit the non RS car and would make a welcome change from all the white, black and grey GT3's out there.
