Yep 30mm lower than the GT4 which really needs lift too but unavailable.
With the shorter front lip on the Spyder RS , do you think it’s equally essential.? I’m in 2 minds
You will regret not having lift

If you are speccing a car its a no-brainer.

I’m 2k miles in and for my usage I’ve not missed it.. yes on a few occasions you’ve got to get the angle right such as euro tunnel loading. I see no point adding lift and 8+ kgs when I’ve specd mags to lose 8kgs.. same goes for 992 RS and prev gen, never any issues. I can only see an issue if you want to park in steep ramped car parks. Like all spec it’s how it works for your usage.

Another GT4 owner here and no lift is a complete pain even though it’s not an option. If it was available then I would spec it for certain. If the RS is lower then I’d say if you plan any road driving at all, you would want it - even if just for the piece of mind when you arrive at a large speedbump or steep decline

can you not make them say 10-20mm higher? are those adjustable shocks? or maybe its possible to put rings onder them to make them higher a bit?

such low cars are almost only a positive at illegal speeds or on track if your a F1 driver so to speak or only driven on highways... I would not like a lift, I don't like extra buttons or exhaust with flaps or power switch, its all or nothing :-)

That is still crazy money for a leggy car given what else is available. I dont get their pricing strategy at all unless its just belligerence in the hope some lottery winner walks through the door who has no clue what he is buying.

No one wants the yellow ex press car do they laugh

That GreenYellow one at Parker & Parker looks like a really good buy for someone who likes the spec. Yes it's got a few miles on it but if it's a second or third car for someone intending to keep for a few years you'll soon get that average down.

I'm a bit gutted it's out of my price range.

Somebody may love it ... somebody paid for it !

This was purely to illustrate prices against the configurator price ... if this is not a Press vehicle then there really isn't a comparison ...

Someones certainly enjoyed that car...kudos.

At £170k+ new similar to the 3k mile 2022 'Gulf' Blue car which Preston sold in December at AP £199990.

GelbGrün car was privately owned by well know body on the car scene that has lots of nice/notable stuff including CGT and Chris Harris old 997 RS4.0.

Not my colour, but kudos as it has been properly used and appropriately cared for no doubt.


Ashgood also have dropped the Yellow Press car to 150k flat.

I forgot to add that I do like it ... rather like the leaf (birch) green of the 981 GT4 ...

Just taken a look on the Ashgoods website. Their gt4rs is the only one advertised as plus Vat.

£125k + Vat, so £150k the private punter.

I wonder what they paid for it a number of months back.

Popped in to South Lakes OPC this afternoon. No sign of that green PTS 4 RS - either SOR or sold I’d suspect. Interestingly, I wanted a quick chat with a salesman and no one available - 5 guys there and all busy with customers - so much for a “cost of living crisis and no one is buying Porsches”!

Yep they seem to have a dedicated customer base maybe because of the none large franchise drawbacks with Parker family running the show and large catchment area although Porsche Preston took quite a few customers when they opened.

Dealt with them a few times years back when they were in Kendal.

The GT4RS has made way for his 992RS. His CGT has gone some time back, still has the 4.0 ex CH and an ST on the way. Very much of the 'use and enjoy them camp'.

Yes, saw pics of the 992 3RS. Lovely.

I think it is a great colour, in the pictures it looks stunning, the spec is spot on, in my opinion it is just the mileage and under current list.
