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

Different ball game this time around though as three body shell widths rather than just two.

Standard (C2), L (C4) and XL (Turbo).

Personally, I thought the 997 RSR was way big enough.

How many have deposits down? I have a LOI with my OPC but they are saying they can't take a deposit at the moment.

Nope......my info was correct at time of posting...

The fact is you still didn't deliver. And even if you were the first, so what?

As many have said, a little humility might be a good idea.

I know it's so bloody irritating. Why won't they just take our money now? Seriously there must be a Porsche dealer on here that want's £150k in their bank before xmas?

So here is what we know for sure:

1. This will be the most extreme RS to date.
2. Launch at Geneva in March.
3. Builds start in June.
4. This car will steal the thunder from the GT3.

And here are the rumours courtesy of Rennlist:

4.0 engine
500hp
PDK
NO RWS (due to race homologation)
Magnesium roof
20" wheels in front, 21" rear
Turbo body
Turbo air intakes
Other lighter parts

The latest pictures are here:

Just a mule that, the actual car will look suitably different I think.

NO RWS - I think it was mentioned in a previous Porsche interview that they hoped lithium battery technology would have moved on and provided the extra power for RWS ??

Magnesium Roof - Again a previous interview suggested the cost to save a few grams on the roof would be prohibitive, it's already very light.

We'll see.

Agreed that this doesn't make sense when aluminium is only marginally heavier. Why not carbon which is significantly lighter?

The above build date is a bit early.

Come on, magnesium just say it "magnesium" it's a cool word

Sorry ,Sep.....

Cheers, sort of ties in with what I heard also.

[WCZ]

what's the expected price?

[Richie200]

WCZ the 997 had a £15k uplift from GT3 to the RS if that is of any help.

Given that the general opinion is that the GT3 was priced too cheaply, I'd be amazed if the GT3 RS isn't at least £20k more expensive...

with a few Carbon bits and CCBDs, I would expect it to be 150kish
