Very interesting - well worth waiting for as a lot of new tech available- - especially the hybrid technology.

Alternatively, hopefully lots of 991.2’s being traded in for new generation in 2019 and 2020

GTS bhp seems unusually high...wonder if someone has got carried away...can't see it being that much more than the current unless PAG use it as a way of putting the GTS price up a lot with clear air between it and an S.

Agree - don't expect the GTS to be 100hp more than the current model.

If I’m ever going to a buy a 911, July ‘19 for a 992 C2 or the same time for a 12-18 month old alternative variant (maybe a Carrera T) could work well.

Sorry my typo - GT3 stats. I've corrected my original post now. Good spot Virage and Arif.

I think for GTS it should read Turbo which fits a lot better for the bhp figures. The real GTS will appear after the normal Carrera and turbo models probably in 2021.
That's why I went for the 991.2 GTS now even with the 992 imminent. Life is just to short to wait three more years for the 992 GTS.

GT3 makes sense - a little more than what is likely for the 991.2 RS
