992:2 GT3RS - Release and How expensive? - Page 2 - 911/Carrera GT - PistonHeads UK

A little bit of potential crystal ball gazing I know but interested to hear people’s opinion. When will the new RS be released and how far will Porsche jack up the price over the 992:1 - price wise I’m guessing the base car will jump 10% to £220K?

at a guess about the same percentage as a Turbo S went up maybe [I don't now what that number is for the UK].

Tri Plane rear wing ?

Typical 992.1 3RS, at 245k will hit around 280k I would want the full carbon pack too

Is it likely to be released in Q1 2026?

Are OPC's still accepting build specs for the current model ?? Another thread suggested that they are ... ??

lots of speculation re. 992.2 3RS and 2RS. if there is a .2 3RS it will be significantly more then a 10% increase. 3RS new order production stopped in October/Nov 25.

Question is are they actually doing a 2RS in 992 Format? Keep seeing spy shots, but all been very quiet

Surely a both a 992.2 GT3 RS (which I expect to be about as different as a 992.2 GT3 and .1 are) and GT2 RS is a no brainer. The GT2 isn't hampered by the emissions that the GT3 is and the engine is already developed and the GT3 RS is essentially a GT3 with more profit margin built in. Porsche know they can ask more money for them but for how long? They need to pump them out quick and fast while they can.

600bhp 9k redline, some form of turbo with electrificaiton. Mate with an OPC saw it in October last year.

992.2 GTS/ Turbos S e-hybrid system. Less weight.

So is a turbo hybrid what people want from an RS? Considering it will be much more expensive than the .1 version, and that there’s around 30 of them sitting in showrooms at the moment, I suspect getting one will be easier than ever!

Imo ( and I have the 992.1 3RS ), the 992.2 3RS will be released in far fewer numbers compared to the .1, simply because it appears to appeal to only a small number of buyers, due to its storage factor. I certainly don't buy the other reason and that's - "you can't use them on UK roads". I love mine and have no regrets changing from my 991.2 GT3.

But of course Porsche have always said that numbers would be tiny and then ?? They suit themselves. It may of course be true that numbers could be tiny, but then I'm sure they would make it a limited edition at a premium price and limit the number to ... let me see ... 2026 ?? I may be cynical, but I may not be wrong

Post 997 everyone was asking would anyone want an automatic only RS. Very true, but hybrid adds a new and for me at least very unwelcome dimension to potential long term ownership. Namely the ticking clock counting down to the massive cost of hybrid battery replacement…..

Some people will always want the latest and fastest. If not for flipping or bragging, then just for the pure experience of it. Inevitably, this is the direction cars have been corralled into; some for f hybrid and or forced induction. If not for emissions then for motorsport competitiveness and homologation.

I am told that if I was to need a new HV battery for my Artura beyond the warranty period, this would cost £6000 ish. The speculation is also that by the time it will need replacing it will be replaced with something far better plus a firmware update to ?? specification ...

Can you imagine the cost of servicing and reliability issues with a hybrid,especially if as reliable as some of the current hybrids. Dont let your warranty run out chris

Wow, does that include the strip down and install - seems very cheap. Artura does look a bargain a couple of years old V new cost.

Current Hybrid Batts on GTS have 8 years warranty as Stock, presume this will also be the case on other Hybrid 992s Turbo S etc.
