May be more comfortable but serious error as regards resale I’m afraid.

Would you rather spec the car the way you find more comfortable if it's bought to actually be driven or spec the seats that don't fit just for resale later?

Having done my pec day in buckets ,speccing regular seats on my gt3 was the best decision I made.

Tom Hartley Jr sold a GT3 RS a week or so ago with Comfort Seats within 24 hours of it going up on sale....GT Silver car. It was up for £200k so mid-priced in context of current market. I was amazed TBH.

I was offered identical spec GT3.2, overs obviously, and the one with comfort seats 18 way was £15k cheaper. I find buckets comfortable anyhow, if you want comfort seats be prepared to take a significant cash hit and when the latest new toy wanes a little, buckets will always sell ahead of yours. Like it or lump it, thats the market.

I’m really not sure that is right ,certainly looking at gt3.1 prices shows nothing of the sort,and both my opc and an Indy who has shifted a lot said a car with buckets vs a car without identically specced would fetch maybe £2k more.
It’s irrelevant to me anyway as a car with buckets would be nigh on unusable for me now.

What I REALLY don't understand is: why aren't Porsche charging £500K for these, in the first place?

People would pay it, clearly. Right now they're acting like a charity; most odd.

It’s their Marketing Strategy (Halo Marketing) and it is genius. It generates hundred of millions of extra sales revenue of basic 911s, Boxsters, Macans etc. Rolex do it as do most luxury brands.

They are not a charity. Porsche, I think, is the most profitable division of the company.

Most don’t get to market and are sold under the radar. The diff was actually £16k. Don’t shoot the messenger.

I’m not,I’ve just got a different message .
A 16k difference based solely on seat sounds a bit dodgy to say the least ,I mean buy the car that’s 16k cheaper and spend 3k putting the buckets in surely ???

I agree the seats make a difference in pricing but again, if you don't find the bucket seats comfortable as some people do, would you personally rather spec the uncomfortable seat purely for resale reasons?

So if a GT2RS trades at 700k, then that is 2 percent of value, Porsche will probably sell you buckets for 10-15k anyway I‘d assume

Proper car

Proper colour !



Can't say fairer than this !

First time Rubystone has made sense for me! That is epic.

Just received my invite for the Porsche Silverstone GT2RS experience. Free obviously, but I can take a friend for the low low price of £472. I bounced an email back to check dates, but I wonder if this means Porsche Silverstone Experience now (or shortly) have their GT2s...

Thanks! Looks like they might be there or arrive soon. I just received a response to my earlier request:

PEC have a GT2RS in RHD.
WP car in GT silver with weissgold magnesium wheels.
Red interior.

Few interesting points as of yesterday.

Nobody there had driven it, only driven for a television feature.
It's not road legal and will crushed when it's done with.
PEC are not allowed to buy one.
Only 25 coming to the UK.
And something for Mr.991r, it was running Dunlops.
