My god... that will set a new Nordschleife record. Speed is insane. Under 6:40?!

Uhm, maybe. It would probably be a safe guess to say it's gonna be 10s faster than the GT3 - which would be 6:45 for the SA config. The AMG GT BS is 6:43.6. I can see it being faster than that with all that aero (and new Cup 2R tires if rumors are to be believed), although I am not sure it's gonna dip below 6:40. That would be quite the jump.

Bonkers-looing but delicious.

I 2nd this. It's extreme but I f*ing love it - especially the wing!
The aero is more aggressive than on a cup car!

Frankly, this car serves many purposes
1) Track-day special
2) A car to show off to your mates and others
3) it's wailing engine can serve as a warning for an impending storm
4) A handy car for picnics with its built-in table
and so forth. Very practical indeed.

I've been thinking about the Ring time and I think we're too optimistic. This car might have mighty aero but just not enough power to beat the GT2 RS - I'm guessing a 6:50 at max. Anyway, it is an absolute stunner.

Maybe, but each generation is always more efficiant. I expect fabric time of 6:40-6:45 short config.

if I am not mistaken, 991.2 GT3 RS MR already did a ~ 6:49 lap.

Not sure if that much more, but I think it's almost certain at this point that it will cost significantly more than the last gen.

Yeah, that's quite interesting. Very likely a true Pirelli competitor to the Cup 2 R - and perhaps even the new leader! But then again I also heard that on the GT3RS they will also be introducing a new Porsche subvariant of the Cup 2 R - the N1 (all Porsche Cup 2 Rs up to this point have been the same "N0" generation they've been using since the 991.2 GT3RS/GT2RS). And it's quite possible that the N1 will be even faster than the N0 or the generic version.

Someone posted into an Italian Forum : 9500 rpm , 520 hp...Could be true?
Bridster
Oversteer Expert
Very unlikely. It's already something of a minor miracle that they have pistons as large as those (667cc) going 9000 RPM. I doubt they could have them go 9500 without a major decrease of reliability. Also, if the engine did go to 9500, I would expect more than 520hp. The last GT3RS had 520PS. This one will probably have something like 530PS. So the same max RPM as before.
