Yes, it's still too early to talk about the 992-generation Porsche 911 GT2 RS. After all, the release of the beast is still five or six years away. Then again, you can't stop the Internet from dreaming, which is how we ended up with the rendering that brought us here.
This pixel play mixes the 992 Carrera S with aero elements borrowed from the 991.2 GT2 RS. And while it does please a Porschephile's dreamy side, it could hardly be described as accurate.
For one thing, the eight-generation Neunelfer will obviously bring its own styling, such as the lower apron and engine cover.
Then there's the rear wing. The generation change has brought more aggresive aero, from the fixed wing that is the Carrera Aerokit to the still-camouflaged wing of the 992 GT3 prototypes.
With the first rivaling the aero elements of past GT3s and the latter appering just as wild as those of Rennsport models, I'm expecting the next GT2 RS to sport am even spicier rear wing, perhaps one that would borrow some new tricks from the motorsport incarnations of the Neunelfer.
Of course, we have to hope there will still be a GT2 RS - while the 991 generation saw the demise of the "standard" GT2, the stricter emission rules shouldn't stand in the way of a new 2RS.
Meanwhile, we have plenty of other 992 derivatives to enjoy, with prototypes for these having already been spotted.
I'll list these in the (expected) order of their introduction: the base Carrera (and Cabriolet), the Turbo (with a fixed and a removable top), the GT3 (a Touring Package return is possible) and perhaps even the GTS.
While the base Carrera could land in the next three or four months, the Turbo is expected to arrive by the end of the year. The GT3? Well, this should come in the next twelve months, but we might have to wait for 2021 to see the GTS.
