Too many details for that not to be accurate. I read on Rennlist a while ago that Green was going to make a comeback so clearly some people have good info! "Only" 20 bhp up on the GT3 ? Must be at the limits of what's possible with this engine

OPC's phones will be red hot this morning no doubt....

I was a bit unsure if that was real but as you say, lots of detail. I guess we will find out soon enough but nothing from Porsche officially so far......

520BHP was the leaked expected power, not a lot one can say, it's a new RS which they could not do a lot with, so it looks the same and is quite uninteresting, makes the norrmal GT3 look great value.

What a great colour! I presume Porsche will reveal all at Geneva.

Great looking car. Following on from the design themes of the standard GT3 there's a lot of black accents and sharp edges. I'm not brave enough for bright green though!

Be interesting to see if they confirm the manual gearbox

Its the colour which makes it attractive to me..I've always said if i was given an RS allocation i would have it in PTS RS green,and it looks likely i won't have to stump up for PTS..
I'm willing to wager the new RS as a package will be greater than the sum of its parts..I've only two questions: Will it be offered in a manual and what price premium will it command over the GT3.
520 HP was always going to be the limit IMO on the 4L NASP flat six especially considering the new exhaust particulate filter which will be a mandatory requirement from Sept 1st onwards..
I want one however this time i'll go manual if its offered..

It would be really cool of Porsche to offer this RS with a manual gearbox.

I am taking a PDK only bet atm :-)

Looks amazing, as always with the RS. Do people think this will affect prices of the 991.1 GT3 RS? I'm contemplating this as my next major purchase, but I do have a bit of a track record of jumping in at the wrong time, so I figured it can't hurt to ask the RS community who almost certainly have better judgement than me!

I'm not in the trade but think Gen 1 values are quite stable now near £200k. Again a guess, this with spec £170k ish so maybe they'll start off at £275k on the flipper market then settle mid 200s? Dealers think low numbers due to production limitations whereas there were quite a few Gen 1s in the end.

Always difficult to predict but the 991.1 RS prices have settled and the 991.2 RS is now the latest 'must have' car - which will mean there will be a greater demand as its newer, faster and shinier.

IF The RS is offered with a manual gearbox then all bets are off and who knows what they will go for. They may even make the heady heights of the 991.1 RS price curve look low.

Funny how most if not ALL Instagram photos are now not there, also Zero info on google?

Could it be a hoax???

And it also had details leaked 4 weeks before show so one can assume most certainly no Gt4 for Geneva! Spyder was released about a month after Geneva so perhaps only gt3rs making a show and maybe 992?

Perhaps pulled due to ahead of press embargo which could be mid this week when it's in the likes of autocar etc

I would think if it was a hoax it would still be there...more likely the pictures are real and Porsche are pissed off ?!?!?!

[Taffy66]

Its a Porsche sanctioned carefully orchestrated leak to feed the frenzied addiction for the latest haloed Limited GT Porsche...
And we all fall for it hook,line and sinker including yours truly..!

Love the green

[BrntRubber]

Release is Geneva

Doubt is has manual as a option
