    Might they be putting the 4.0 Metzger back in the RS with more HP and a higher RPM limit????

    That could get interesting.

    That would be very interesting but it would not make since because of emissions and development of the new engine. I couldn't see them going backwards the only thing I can see is maybe 7 speed stick. They did say maybe on very special cars and that is coming from the big guy at porsche. But I guess we will see can't wait!!!

    No chance of that whatsoever, no Mezger engine, no manual gearbox, that era is over for good.

    FWIW the specification on the new 991 GT3 RS is already set, and it will have a tuned version the 991 engine, with PDK-S, both enhanced versions of that in the 991 GT3 we are already enjoying. It exists as the car is being tested in Northern Europe today.

    In that vein, I should remind all that this thread covers the RS cars with manual gearbox and Mezger engines http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/porsche/426539-997-gt3-rs.html which means up to the 2011 GT3 RS. We dont want to turn this thread into a haven for off-topic discussion, so to that end I will start a 991 GT3 RS thread when it becomes relevant - when Porsche Ag announces the car and debuts it, likely @ the Geneva Salon in the Spring.

    Meanwhile, 4.0 RS rumbling through the pits @ the Coronado Festival of Speed, with appropriate California license plate affixed!

    You'll have to pay a small fortune for one.
