Prospective 991 GT3 RS Owners discussion forum.
Discussion
I feel just a little disappointed. Maybe because the gestation was so long, and there were so many rumours. The car was pretty close to my expectations as there had been a fair bit of leakage of info, but it was just a bit less, rather than a bit more than the rumours. Maybe the road tests will be more exciting than the launch.

.Some words of wisdom from Evo website
"And if you want one, you’ll need to be quick"
There, your heard it here first. You'll also need to build a time machine to post your LOI circa 1985 and father a son who will one day become an official OPC DP. A bit like the scene in Star Wars where Darth Vadar tells Luke the hidden secret and says he has killed every rebel 918 pilot to boot.

The road testers will say the RS is a game-changer, it will be unrivalled in the market, it will be a super-fast-out-of-this-world experience and will 'move the game on' etc etcChris Harris will do some slidey arse-out video, declare it as 'a whole new thing' and the world will hail the new KING GT3!
People who own one will be able to make £60-£80k profit almost immediately and for THAT reason they will say its the 'best' car out there even though the majority of them can't heel-and-toe for s
t! "Ooh it changes gear so fast"
"Ooh the sound it makes when you flick the paddle to downshift is delicious.... why does it do that sound anyway?..... never mind I feel like an F1 driver, this car is AWESOME!"
"Ooh look at me lap times youth, ah done reet good on track me, who's ya daddy!"
Blah Blah Blah
For me its all a bit.....meh!

Just been told the 918 allocation takes standard allocation away from dealer... ie if the 918s want the car
, there will be none left for normal punters.
Big, big shame..
:-(
Don't think that's quite right. 918 customers have been allocated a car through their 918 OPC, but if they want one can buy it from any dealer. (i.e. not just the dealer they bought the 918 from). it is a 'personal' allocation. , there will be none left for normal punters.
Big, big shame..
:-(
However, if they don't want it at all, it is added to the allocation of their 918 supplier, who can sell it to other customers. So, dealers get a 918 allocation plus a limited non-918 allocation

So according to this site, that car will be worth a £100k profit the minute it rolls out of the showroom?
This is going to be an interesting watch over the next 12 months, especially if you have just parted with £170k for a second hand stock version?
I doubt it personally. Would not be surprised if there were a Gen.2 version which would be more differentiated.This is going to be an interesting watch over the next 12 months, especially if you have just parted with £170k for a second hand stock version?
