The substitute road car for the 997.2 will not be called the 998 but rather the 991.
As for DFI in GT2 - I'm not sure the rules allow for it.

Formula 3? Edoardo Mortara is currently leading F3 Euro Series with a VW engine.

Actually I was thinking of Formula Masters ADAC, there is a couple who is contracted by Audi Sport. But Formula 3 Euro Series is also among them.

Actually, Lamborghini launched a brandnew, direct injection V10 with the latest Gallardo 560-4 incarnation. I guess that this engine will find its way into the GT2/GT3 Gallardo racecars next year?
