Here is my key after 5,000 miles and 9 months of use:





Entirely frivolous and pointless, but a nice touch as far as I'm concerned! Obviously just need to be a bit careful carrying the key around with other keys / coins etc.

I doubt he'd be as judgemental as you for something that leaves the driving experience entirely unaffected...

With the 991 front spoiler design the risk to damaging the front PU is higher than the 997. Front lift is the first option I selected on my GT3.
To prevent damage just remember to raise the car, fail to see how you blame the system if its operator error!
I was joking ! smile

I thought the car was impressive in the flesh, but it does look pig ugly in pictures.
I have to agree - visually the GT3 is a much nicer looking car - who's seen it in the metal ? Thoughts please - cheers smile

Interesting to see all the comments re options, weight etc. so the lifting gear is 6.5kg! assume you guys are all in the gym 7 days a week becuase the biggest weight saving I think I can make is to get myself down by 10 kegs!!!!

With flugplatz being restricted now at least for tf laps (or at least it was on thurs) after the nismo crash, any record attempt i am guessing will only happen later in the year. Well assuming the industry pool laps are facing the same speed/width restrictions which they might not i suppose. Circuit days have a trackday next week, Wonder if they will have any restrictions there.....

Bit more info from a further chat with a german instructor at spa who has some Porsche factory links. Trackdays are still thankfully full speed but there is supposed to be an 'advisory' limit there, tf and various running were only limited for a few days for some construction work. The vln races are of course gps recorded speed limited but i guess nothing to prevent a proper record run. Seems the factory are very confident in the car.....

How about I swap my RS for your brochure ? Unless of course , as I haven't got a brochure , then maybe the RS is just a figment of my imagination smile

Yes will go for this as all black is just too dark and depressing. The alternative Lava Orange interior is only available with Lave Orange exterior which I won`t be choosing. However I am still hoping that Porsche Exclusive with do me a red/black interior with a guards red exterior. All a bit yesterday I suppose but its my lucky colour.

You are of course absolutely right and running with a light fuel load would also make a vast difference compared to
6.5 KG of lifting gear. However losing 13kg of high level weight by opting for the Lithium Battery must be worth considering.

I see from an article in the latest Christophorus magazine:

'The RS is not limited, but until the production window closes in spring 2016, a maximum of two thousand units will find their way to happy new owners'.

There may still be hope of getting one?

Is that not more than double 991, GT3's, thought there was around 800 built?
