Disappointing its not using similar dry sump engine to the current cup car and 991.2 GT3 especially for north of £200k
Indeedy, at least it gets something similar to the cup car suspension. Harsh for the road but will be track monster. Now we need to wait for the Ring times. redback911 said:

according to Sport Auto it is rumoured to be around the 7.05 mark
That's disappointing when the stock GT3 managed 07:11 and the Huracan P an impressive 06:52md_ian said:
I'm not sure of the purpose of this car, this time around. 3.8 engine, times that may not even challenge the current GT3. Sounds like a limited production product to keep the 'elite' customers happy and in profit!
200BHP more than a GT3, I am pretty sure it will be quicker.Meant to add earlier... Glad they skipped the "road" version and went straight to the RS.
I assume they are being conservative (as I think the first rumours re the GT3 figure were). Having said that, 6:52 seems a very tall order ....Yup, going to be very interesting. Compared to GT3RS the GT2 has more HP, downforce and race suspension - which could be tweaked for The Ring. We need to keep an eye out for updates from Dale (BTG) et al. at the Ring for GT2 hot laps, and then wait for Porsche to announce lap times.

Im expecting it to be comfortably over 200k, maybe 250k even for the Weissach version.
At that point, for me Id look at a 720S or a 488 Speciale.
its still a 911 with the 991 turbo DFI engine.

agree with cmoose
Porsche tried the unlimited approach often enough - they could only sell about 1,000-1,200 996 and 997 GT2s and those were not limited imo, there were just no more buyers out there. Not sure how easy it was to sell the GT2RS, but it dropped from list for a couple of years if I remember correctly.
Same with the Carrera GT - that was limited - but they could not even sell the entire run.
As a result, I'd say very sensible as long as it has a positive effect on sales across the rest of their cars.
