The slots seem to be landing finally with more dealers. Mine is December build, spec went in yesterday. GT silver.

Will be a nice stand-in until the CGT's are allow back in the road.

Painted Bonnet is also a zero cost configurable option within Weissach Pack.

I agree ... and without the Weissach makes it a "sensible" price

I have yet to see a GT4RS without this ... and I have been watching out !

The article in EVO certainly rates it ...

There are a few around Chris.

Mid-sussex have one for sale.

Was up for 210k back in June… came down disappeared from Approved used… i guess sold and now back with them for sale at £169k

I think Non-WP/Painted bonnet works really well on SRS.

Looks good in that.

My current spec (not locked yet) is very similar but with gold wheels and the Black windscreen surround. I suspect Red will be popular.

I’m undecided on the front axle lift, obviously it’s not on my current 718 Spyder and I’ve never felt it was needed but I believe the RS front splitter although the same height protrudes further forward, Anyone spec’’d it or have experience with the Gt4 RS ?.

I’m at PEC next week and apparently they have their Spyder RS in the new the new Grey, not there to drive it but looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.

I think the front splitter on the RS Spyder does not protrude as much as the GT4.

The GT4 splitter protrudes as it works with the rear wing. With the Spyder and RS Spyder as there is no wing the aero works slightly differently.

Described well in this Evo article: https://www.evo.co.uk/porsche/718-spyder/rs

Its not about the splitter… the main point for lift on the 4RS and SRS is due to the additional underbody fins at the front.
One point to consider when you enable the lift it raises the front, but then back is pivoted about the rear wheel and so rear underbody fins get a little closer.

Its not essential, but rather a nice convenience.
I run all the underbody aero parts on my car as the main element is a direct replacement for the CF Manthey part.. but its cheaper and in plastic… so i don't care about occasionally catching it (MR part taken off and boxed up). I actually don’t catch them that much in my driving of the car which is to and from track, running kerbs isn't an issue and getting on chunnel or ferry is fine too.
Only sleeping policemen catch if they are quite high or approached with wrong angle or speed.

Useful info ... I also don't need lift on my 981 GT4 which is significantly lowered ... it's still on it's first set of front bib spoiler and undertrays ...

Not really an issue if buying used anyway… everyone is speccing it so decision made.

I’ll be up to see the team second week of Jan.

I apologise in advance, driving impressions from a rip around the reservoir…

‘Interesting’ pov… from some actual Motoring Journalists…

[TDT]

Absolute joke.

The truth of this is more ridiculous than the stories.

Showroom floor -> trailer -> lockup -> carcoon -> trailer -> showroom floor.

Dropping off quicker than 4RS?



Once back to sensible money - will be an EXCELLENT toy.

It’s an arch extender due to EU/Germany rules on wheels not being out board of the bodywork for pedestrian safety.
