The marketing bods are still not sure what to call it. Rumour has it it will be called the GT3 RS LE-WK.

I would have though the 997 GT3 RS-500 would be an ideal name.

You are all wrong:

GT3 RS LE-WK = GT3 RS Limited Edition "William & Kate" to commemorate wedding of the decade.

No PDK due to weight issues! circa 50k lighter than Gen2 RS.

PDK for starters.
I cant see it. I have to accept that PDK may even be standard on the 991, but 997?

I hope not.

Its the final swansong Metzger engine, the end of an era. It must be manual.

with this delay...I cannot help thinking perhaps IF it comes, it will be overpriced and perhaps wait for the next generation of GT3. If the pricing/performance is not extraordinary, think will pass (assuming we get an allocation !) Its sooooo strange nothing is shared on the wires.
