Final 997 GT3 RS to get 500hp
The rumor is that Porsche will up the power of the GT3 RS to 500hp with a final limited edition run to see out the 997:

" I'm lost for words here. I guess all I can say is that Porsche's engineering is impressive!

This limited edition GT3 RS seems like a GT3 RSR for the street. The RSR race car, which competes in ALMS and Le Mans, also has a 4.0 flat-six. However, the race car only has 450hp due to intake restrictors.

In one of the Boxster/Cayman threads where someone was talking about keeping them under the power level of the 911(s), I almost said something about them likely getting a power bump as the 911 moves up to the next incremental displacement.
I would suspect in the very near fututre, the B/Cs will go to 3.6L and the "base" 911 will be 3.8, with the 4.0L being an option on GT/TT variants.
I wonder what the displacement limit is, just considering physical size, packaging and safe design parameters for a street car? 4.2? 4.4?

I'll take one!
I'll also take one of these if I HAD to.

increased displacement from increased bore not a stroker! So it revs even more freely and now up to 8800rpm! 128hp/liter! and at 320+wtq its getting dangerously close to 100tq/liter which is unheard of for an NA motor.

Now, if they can get rid of stupid graphics on the side of the car.
Just give me a black car with black wheels.
Also, I would think this would get a diet seeing as the GT2RS weighs less than the current GT3RS.
