Spyder RS

that looks indeed simple for fast cover outside and or in garage against dust and so on.

Pah. I bought this from Tequipment:

Preston OPC appear to have read the market and the lack of movement and with this spec have gone in £22k under the next cheapest SRS, will be interesting to see how it effects things and if others follow suit ..

Be interesting to watch but list on above is £138,549 according to configurator so still expensive for spec

Makes the green Romans car at £205k look very expensive.

IMO, that's a bit of a mess of a spec, attention to matching 'detail' is all over the place.

Yes, but the Romans car has been specced with somebody who has a working eyesight. Granted, not that much £difference, but when you're spending £150-200k on a car, most buyers will want things to match and/or be cohesive.

Wouldn't say the Preston car is too bad spec wise especially with ceramics and Arctic paint which whilst being somewhat drab imo is nevertheless quite a popular colour.

Lowest priced OPC car and good value clearly reflects non WP and to a lesser extent sofas.

Perhaps it's just me, but the 'combination of the optioned 'detail' makes my teeth itch...

- Yellow PCCB's, but specced grey belts and loops.
- Specced Blue accent package, but no other blue on the car.
- Specced Silver wheels, but specced black Porsche lettering
- Specced White dials and chrono clock, but no other white on the car.

Each of those on their own is a bit odd, but put them all together and IMO it just looks a bit of a miss-matched mess. If it were me spending £150-200k on one, I'd want it to at least match and feel cohesive.

It's one of those ones that would just work in person, subtle exterior colour with colourful accents. Blue and yellow are very popular complementary colours. Sluver abd black tend to go with practically every colour

[Purso]

wheels and seatbelts can have a color change easily and not going to cost thousands and thousands.

I think it looks nice but without the weissach pack maybe a bit plain.

It’s rather telling that none are selling, maybe not long until they are at list

I was offered a £177k fully loaded car with watch at £190k. I turned it down. I'd like one, but they will be coming way way off in 3 months.

I have been watching since the first car was listed and not convinced any have actually sold that have been listed at overs, the blue PTS car came and went but do we know if it actually sold or was just withdrawn.


The £172k car is still on sale and the rest seem to be dropping, noticed one of the speccy cars is now down to £189,995 I would expect the indi dealers to follow suit this next week or so .

with the current spread of cars available, if you like a grey car you are in luck lol.

The blue car sold and also a White car from I think Portsmouth OPC, looks like the Nottingham car could have sold also.

Thought that was one of his worst reviews to date.
No real driving impressions but instead 10minutes on the roof which we all know is tricky already.

[GTRene]

the roof... man, and then you can not drive top speed with it up...

maybe a 2.5 with tuning and almost 500hp for way way less and a normal roof, could not be so bad and you keep your hearing ;-)

I posted on the 4RS thread today looks like SRS and 4RS production will both continue until May or June 2025 and end simultaneously although the number of both cars is fairly low (similar to last quarter numbers 2023) both my OPCs only receiving 2 more cars each for 2024 and evidently PTS will be unavailable for last run allocations.
