For sure. Will I buy the new 50mm lens...probably....do I need it ...certainly not
mad world this photography lark.... reminds of the fabled misspelt sign at a French hotel reception desk...."Values must be deposited here for safekeeping". We often do the same thing when entering a (real or virtual) photography store.

GT40 replicas....do you mean kit cars or the ones Ford produced about 15 years ago?
Either way I think the Ford GT40 was one of the sportiest design ever to come off a drawing board. i had a corgi/dinki model as a kid...in fact it must still be somewhere around

No...a deafening silence.
Doesn't bode well in my opinion.
How complicated or expensive can it be to bring a new 50mm to market? Given there must be a sizeable K-1 ownership by now, many of whom would be likely customers...not exactly high risk.
Just about every other OEM is bringing out product on a regular basis. If there's nothing announced at the trade fairs in september for pre Christmas retail then I suspect a lot of Pentax devotees will be getting more than a bit twitchy.
I share your concerns....but.... to bring a new lens to market for Pentax , when changes are clearly afoot in Ricoh in general, could be extremely complicated even if expense is not an issue. Consolidation of research/revelopment/production departments can all delay things.No...a deafening silence.

High risk?....... I think bringing a new 50mm prime to market is extremely high risk Lets say they get it wrong either from a design or a production standpoint? If the new prime turns out to be a lemon it could be terminal for Pentax. they have to get this right.
September is the usual time for new releases so maybe something is just around the corner, and lets hope it is a success.

I think Chris at SRS must be feeding it. Great subject to test a new lens out on.
