Yes

But I am willing to take it off our your hands for a reasonable amount. How about what you paid for it less 5% per year?

You'd have to wonder whether we'll see another GT2RS. It's surprising enough that there's another GT2 on the way. I like the idea that they can still make such things.

I wonder if it will use the 4.0 engine from the GT3 plus a couple of Turbos or will it be the 3.8 from the existing Turbo heavily breathed on.

As already mentioned above, GT2RS is later this year - there is no vanilla GT2 in the pipeline.

I can't see any mention of it being an RS above.

It's a bit vague I think but looks like it'll be an RS, no 'normal' GT2 being built.

It'll be interesting to see what they do with it, my guess is it will be chasing the headline numbers, power, 'ring time, 0-60 etc so will be a tech-fest, hopefully with more pleasing looking aero than the 3RS.

Pity it will be capped at 650bhp. Was hoping for nearer 700.

Looks like only 30 ish for the UK.

Yes I was hoping for a GT2 to be produced because I've no chance of the RS I'd say

so, now that the GT2 RS will have rear wheel steering, pdk, loads of electronics etc...

I am having a tough time seeing the value vs a McLaren 720 at a likely very similar price point (a 997 GT2RS cost €238k in 2010 and the 720 costs €249k today)....

curious why people are so eager to get one. It will have less power (likely) and be heavier (pretty much a certainty). Discuss ....

I say this having owned and love a GT2 (if only briefly ...)
