Default Is the 991 the last pure GT car?

I've had my fair share of GT cars. I currently own a 991.2 GT3RS, and I have a 2019 GT2RS incoming in February. From what I can tell, the new 992 chassis is quite larger and is setup for the incoming hybrid drivetrain. So, I feel that the 991 is the last pure GT chassis.

With that said, I'm very hesitant to trade my 3RS for the 2RS. I'm thinking about keeping them both for a little while. The selling the 2RS for a 991.2 GT3 manual (possibly a Touring model).

The bottom line is that I feel the road is about to end, gentlemen. We will praise the 991 GT cars like the air cooled guys praised their machines. However, I feel that our praise is more warrantied - turbos and hybrid power are for the birds, literally - the planet needs CO2 to survive.

Buy up all the 991 GT cars you can afford!

You'll want the 992 as soon as Porsche tells you how much better it is.

The 996 GT3 was the last pure car, no nannies, just driver.

The 992 will certainly be better, and probably more attractive with the even wider rear hips and front track.

The 991 is already a massive car. My .2 RS is currently parked next to my 812 and they look similar in size. Crazy.

Nice! Hopefully they make a good combo as I have both incoming at some point over the next year.

Almost exactly the same size as 991 widebody chassis is -
