New SRO GT2

After the announcement of Stephane Ratel on Friday I think it is necessary to open a thread to discuss about this new series.

The understanding I got from the articles is GT2 will have more power than GT3 (Around 100 or 120 Hp more than a GT3), less aero, more weight, be AM only and will be based on more expensive cars but it's not GT1, there are not hypercars here.
I am thinking about Ferrari 812 superfast, Lamborghini Aventador, Aston Martin DB11 or Vanquish S will be the cars for this category, this is the return of the V12s.
With more power this cars will be MUCH faster than GT3 on the straight and braking much earlier on the corners.
These are the things we know about the series but the amount of unknowns that I have are many and here I raise some to discuss:

*How much slower than a GT3 will these cars be?
*Can we see the Ferrari 812 superfast, Lamborghini Aventador, Aston Martin DB11 or Vanquish S or will these brands adapt their GT3?
*What other models of cars can we see here?

Ratel also indicated the new class could serve as a safeguard should GT3 cars get too expensive, or the FIA’s ongoing concept of GT harmonization between GT3 and GTE-spec machinery materializes, which in my point of view, is much more likely to happen in the next few years with the arrival of the hypercars at Le Mans that will be taken by some of the GTE manufacturers.
