Just when you thought that the Porsche 911 GT3 RS couldn't get any more enticing, word crops up that German sports car manufacturer has a new special edition planned. If the buzz cropping up over at Teamspeed is to be believed, Stuttgart is working up a special edition RS to end all RS models. The car will be limited to just 500 units, each one packing a heady 500 horsepower from a 4.0-liter mill. That represents a 50 horse jump over what's available in the standard GT3 RS and 65 more ponies than the "base" GT3.
The news comes courtesy of Teamspeed member AlexG, who despite the urging of his fellow forum members, won't share his source. Even so, the GT3 RS Limited Edition is supposed to make use of the same flat-six engine found in the mighty RSR. Pricing is supposed to fall well below the 911 GT2 RS but above the standard 911 GT3 RS. We're guessing that the sticker will fall somewhere close to $200,000 if/when it goes on sale in July 2011.

It is no longer a rumour, deposits were taken Dec last year, but only mainly to customers and dealerships in Europe. The allocation was taken up within 2 days.

Heck, I just put down my deposit for the next last GT1-block super limited edition -- The 4.1L GT1-based engine 997.3 GT3RS+ White Edition Cabriolet in PTS matte black color 
Seriously, nowadays it is amazing that so many folks choose to believe in an un-name-able Internet rumor, while on the other hand Wolfgang Dürheimer (Porsche R&D Boss) stated in the GT Porsche magazine (January 2011 issue) that the GT2RS was the last Porsche using the GT1-block engine.
Here is the article that we can read ourselves...

I would not doubt that we see a special edition RS or even more special editions as the 997 bows out.
