That's what I ordered. Picking up May 4 Zuffenhausen, and it will certainly get some Ring time.
You must be one of the first in the world to get the new RS, great colour choice!

I was just thinking the same. How could this come from the same company that is excreting the V6 Panamera onto our shoes.

Agreed. Whilst I apprecate the 4-door creature as an engineering feat, it's almost a shame that they can pour so much passion and brilliance on to something like the GT3RS, and still churn out the Pandemic on the side.

Still, I guess it'll help pay the bills..

Want one badly...had a MK1 GT3 and that was brilliant...but then my daughter was born and I needed four seats....

Great memories though. I've driven quicker cars (like the GTR) but never one with as much steering feel or feedback.

How does it compare to the gen 1 GT3RS ? Is there much of an improvement?

Balls too with Porsche's latest press car.
erm, press cars tend to get spanked very hard indeed

besides that looks like a relatively slow speed corner
Albeit one with a rather craggy cliff face quite close by...
Is that you/the PH Author driving?

You would all have just as much fun in a GT3 and keep the change for a few runs to the ring.
I agree. This car is basically no faster than the non-RS unless you are talented enough to push these cars to the absolute limit on track. I suppose if you want the ultimate GT3 this is it, but I'd be happy enough with the normal one.

These RS's make my teeth itch. I must have one.

Great shot too:



The grey with red wheels/graphics from the launch photos is a better combo colour-wise...
Great picture.

Unlike with the Gen 1 versions I would actually go for the 'plain' GT3 in the Gen 2 guise.
