    Porsche Ag Engineer Hans Mezger and World F1 Driving Champion Niki Lauda on pit-row in 1985.

    Lauda: "You really should have Porsche Ag put a water-cooled NA version of your 962 engine in a lightweight 911 RS and Homologate it for GT3..."

    Mezger: "Hmmm."

    indeed you are correct...Porsche also denied this collector's PTS request for his Cayman GT4.

    IMO that's bad business..the customer is always right ;) but I suppose that's not very German. :D

    (btw the colors for his RS and GT4 were both Porsche historical colors, so it's not like he wanted something totally off the wall)

    I bet the communication from Porsche Ag used these 2 words: "not possible".

    I still wonder about those rear intakes... I know they say they're functional and "purposeful" but since they took them from the turbo I wonder if it wasn't more of a decision of; it would cost too much to cover the hole so we'll just add some air ducts.

    It's the primary reason I passed on the 991 GT3RS, regardless of function, the look is just too busy for me.

    The rear intakes and the front fender vents (& the aero package) tell you without any doubt that this car's raison d'être is as a high-speed track car.
