Confirmed: 991.2 GT3 to get 4.0L N/A Engine and 6MT
Purists rejoice!
I guess this means that 991.1 GT3 will drop down in value quite a bit. I just hope they keep the 9,000rpm redline on the new 4.0L GT3 engine. Pretty cool they are transferring the design over from the new RSR too! http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars...-speed-manual/

I think the main reason they had to go to a 4.0L is due to 991.2 GTS performance at the Ring with optional corsa tires (7:22 or only 2s off GT3RS time). I bet 991.2 GT3 is 7:20 or faster at the ring.

I do know the .2 will cost more, and drive a big premium which could throw the .1 demand up. I sold my .1 for 144k with a MSRP of 152k to a dealer not bad for a two year old car. Just saw a low optioned RS go for 245k ......Porsche plays the supply game well, and the 918 owners all get first dibs on the .2 GT3 at MSRP and they will flip them just like all the others. These could be the last NA motors from Porsche. The RS is tapped out, but my opinion it needs no more power other than to stay in the pissing game. |

I would never drop my PDK, and many of drivers said they wouldn't buy a PDK you can't pry it from them now. It's insane on the track where it belongs. Money shift a motor that cost 80k boom it sucks!

I laugh at the .1 owners raving about a car not for sale, and the .1 looks better that the .2. It will be marginally faster because it will lack a turbo which is the beauty of the GT3 NA flat six. Porsche will have to go turbo by 2020 due comply to emissions standards, and not sure by excluding the GT cars that will give them enough credits for compliance. I think the GT3 .1 is the car to have because it's the first, and last 9000 RPM car from Porsche! |

I just hope that for the .2 GT3 they give it enough visual style difference to make it look noticeably better like they did with the .2 Turbo and Turbo S. I really love the .2 Turbo, but do not enjoy looking at the .1 Turbo.

Agree on quicker, the car is the same minus the front bumper this is the actual pic. Not a fan of ring time personally I don't drive it, and most non pro drivers will not get 80% out of the car. My RS pushed to the edge has scared me a few times, didn't help when I found out one fender is 15k to replace.

The 991.1 GT3 has a bit of a 'ticking time bomb' in regards to the engine when it is stressed vigorously such as at the track. There have been at least three revisions to the engine since the car was released, and at this point in time it appears that perhaps only the 2016 variants are holding up to extreme use. Again not all 2014's and 2015's are having issues; only those really worked hard may succumb to top end failure.
The good news is that Vic is, (as nearly always) correct that 991.1 GT3 prices have held up extremely well, although there may be some 'softening' in the last few months compared to where we were a year or two ago. The bad news is that even many owners of the car on RL are stating that given the engine's history, they will not own the car out of warranty. This then could lead to a fair number of cars hitting the market when the 991.2 car is released, or when the OEM warranty is soon to expire. Hence imho this particular GT Porsche may not hold quite the % of value compared to its older peers going forward, although I could well be wrong. Again! lol Bish |

These are the latest auction prices (bare bones sales which means at least 5k added to the retail price if not more). Note the pricing but also the lack of sales (see the dates)- the cars just dont move at the auction which means dealer sales or private (better sales profits). Oh and I only picked 2015 models which still mainly have 2 years left on the 4 year warranty. The majority were inservice dated in early to mid 2015 and the 50k mile part of the warranty really isnt applicable on these lower mile drive cars.

Too much BS on prices dropping, and many saying the winter will kill prices ......well I sold my in the winter do a dealer. I could have done better in a private sale, but the dealer took care of me on the RS so give and take is good. Lastly, guys think they will get a .2 GT3 and I call BS on that if you don't have a friend at the dealer or you're on the VIP list as they get first dibs on all new cars bottom line. The .2 will be more than the .1, and Porsche realizes they under priced they car based on the demand. All the cars that had engine issues Porsche has replaced them no questions asked, and even the ones that were beat to hell on the track. GT cars are their legacy so they will save face, and the owner network is strong so no worries on being made whole or better. I can get a .2 for MSRP and I have no desire to own a manual over the PDKS. I use to have a iPod now I use Pandora ......technology changes but each to his own. By the way money shift a GT3 motor you just rung up a 80k bill! |

No way bro this is just not true I have a ton a lot of friends that I drive with that will not move their PDKS. The other poster said the PDK is everyone, and that's not true it only exist on the GT3, RS, and GT4 ........PDKS is not the same as PDK it was only build for the GT cars. Facts are good boys.
