I give in now.....The German dealers had Fac visit to see this car last month.....This is also eluded to on other forums......Any way it wont be a prob as there are 37 Uk cars and that's not one a dealer, and 918 customers have 1st dibbs......

You are confused, 37 cars is just the UK allocation for Apolo

Makes sense if he is anticipating a reliability problem ;-)

I should have an early car. Prob the 1ST... The spec is 515Bhp no rear wheel steer and a faster PDK box. Plus the usual exhaust ect, turbo body with 993 GT2 style arches

In fairness you did say that you had the first GT3 , but we've all been pipped at the post by the "Guilford randomer" - may I politely suggest that you "under promise and then over deliver" , keep your powder dry and then show the custard when you have the first car

Does anyone have a deposit with an OPC for the 991 GT3 RS? I thought OPC's where only allowed to take deposits when Porsche official announce the car, and I guess this might not happen until Geneva motor show?

Second question, who has a Letter of Intent?

Turbo body and bolt on arches ? This car's going to be wider than it is long

No rear wheel steer? Porsche have made quite a lot of the speed advantage for the gt3 and 918 so it would be very strange to drop it on the rs.

It was debated on a few forums but the central exhaust and video shows it to he a NA engine.

I would of thought the sound was the biggest giveaway

I imagine maybe it's a testing mule, but I'd be very surprised if they used rear arch vents on a non turbo model after they've gone at such lengths to use this feature to differentiate turbo vs non turbo
Surely gt3 RS will just be in the same body as the normal GT3, no ?

[majordad]

The 997.2 gt3rs was wide body, ie turbo shell IIRC?
