WP RS’s are available in Switzerland from February 2019 too, according to the Swiss site..

Think the UK will see more too then.

Yes I elected to wait until 2019 so I could spec WP

I have heard second batch coming with the PF. The PF weighs 8 to 10kg apparently. But WP will be available. Same 4.0 engine as well..

The above is pretty much what I would have thought.. Key then is its sound and I bet there will be hardly anything in it..

Hi,
I'm quite new to all this and don't have a fleet of Porsches like some on here. But having had the run around (you're getting a car, no your not, but leave your 10k with us and you might) by my OPC for over 4yrs, then getting a call last week offering me an RS minus WP and PTS, I've grabbed it. Feel I would be stupid not to. Good luck to those that have turned a car down to wait in hope for a later build, but 'a bird in the hand' and all that.
Cheers.

Today was a good day, signed order form ✅ deposit now paid. I have to say that my OPC have been very honest throughout, no BS which after all the negative on PH a breath of fresh air! Roll on End of April for delivery! Totally agree with the above sentiment, and actually I wouldn’t want to wait till The end of the year for delivery having seen the crap that’s been spread on the roads

It won’t be my first Porsche, I’ve had 3 over 12yrs, all second hand and I currently have a 991.1 GT3 that I paid over list for. I’m very happy, Car leaves factory on 4th May I’m told.
Thanks.

Well done. You will be quite a rare buyer, if the GT3 RS is your first new car from Porsche. Are you chopping in the GT3?

Well done that man! And well done to the OPC who gave you the allocation.

Think I might have to try your buying strategy as I couldn’t even have a conversation on this one with my OPC. 😂

Certainly shows you does it not that you ""do not"" have to buy loads of Porsches to secure a GT..

Thanks,
I will be trading in the GT3 for it although as my first ever GT Car I’ll be sad in a way to see it go. I’ve never even driven an RS but I’m sure it will be a fantastic experience. Maybe not a million miles away from my 3 and I’ve enjoyed that with over 12,000 miles done in the time I’ve had it.

Your story really does bring a different flavour to, well, in fact, any new buying GT thread...

Cant wait for all you guys to post pics.

If I get lucky on the 2nd wave its a WP for me so fingers crossed..

I have a similar story, certainly haven’t bought loads and a lot less then some people. Maybe I’m just lucky and happened to find an excellent OPC who have a policy of “spreading the love” I also haven’t had to go through the arm twisting/trade in games that a lot of people have as well. Can’t quite believe my luck to be getting a GT3 even if it isn’t an RS!

That photo questions my preference for the WP or the Lizard.
