Just to add to the rumor mill- it is going to be PDK mated to 4.0L, 495hp. Corner sensing dynamic camber adjustment of front wheels. Sequential shifter mated to a regular six-speed for no lift upshifts but don't need 40 hour rebuilds either. Electronic downshift throttle blips.
They went to Guard for a LSD that actually works and MovIt is doing the brakes.
Oh- forgot the active aero front and rear.

Nowadays with Porsche pumping out so-called special editions/models like rabbits, I don't see the need rushing into the LE and encouraging them to continue the practice -- there are way too many models in the 911 line already, mostly are just mix-and-match parts-pin specials with an engineering tweak of horsepower here and bodywork there.

$200K ? seriously? overpriced !!
I doubt it would get 500Hp with a 4.0, more like 470Hp.
But if you want PDK, 2,900 lbs, lots of carbon fiber (too much), 500Hp, more torque, and a mid engine (good balance), there are a few Scuderias for sale.

I'd only consider the extra special RS if it looked extra special, ie Cup R or RSR. Otherwise, I don't see the value in paying a big premium for a lighter car with more power, especially when you getting into Scuderia money and getting close to the McLaren in price. I'd rather pay the extra $30K over the projected cost of the special edition RS and get the McLaren.

Not at all. Merely pointing out that by your math you're well past the few years wait it takes to get a limited edition of a limited edition of a limited edition (I think that's all of them) at 50% off.

Dealer relationship is beyond that of needing deposit, but do have right of first refusal if my dealer gets an allocation.
Just to add to the rumor mill- it is going to be PDK mated to 4.0L, 495hp. Corner sensing dynamic camber adjustment of front wheels. Sequential shifter mated to a regular six-speed for no lift upshifts but don't need 40 hour rebuilds either. Electronic downshift throttle blips.

My problem is I want ALL of them and that's not going to happen. I also very much like the 993(s) and have decided I want to keep at least one of them so it might be a while before a GT3 joins the old soldier (whichever one gets to stay!) in the garage.
To my original point, I personally get tired of Porsche rolling out a "new model" or "limited edition" every 6 months when they could merely be introduced as updates to or new options for an existing model which, IMHO, these models are. "Limited edition" tags fool nobody.
And to Nizer, apologies if my first response seemed lacking in respect in any way. We're all here because we love these cars, warts and all. (Oops, shouldn't say "wart" here!
)
