Yes I agree I also want the ultimate RS so the mag wheels is a must, extra cost circa £25k? plus WP circa £21k
All in I'd say £200k (plus road tax)
The full WP on the GT2 RS including the Mg wheels is £21K and £18,770 if you exclude the Ti cage..I suspect it will be a bit less in the GT3 RS in line with being lower in the model hierarchy.
Thought I'd read that the WP was as is and the Mag wheels were a further option. however I'm very happy to be corrected

Its possible you're correct as i've heard due to supply issues the Mag wheels won't be available until 02/19..In terms of pricing i can see the whole WP pack including the aforementioned Mag wheels and Ti cage coming to a fair bit less than the £21K on the GT2 RS.
Bear in mind that Porsche only charge £2275 for the Ti cage on the GT2 RS which is a bargain IMO. The Mag wheels if fitted from new will be considerably less than fitting aftermarket as the cost of the still super expensive standard 20/21'' alloys is averted.
It seems to me if one wants the WP including the Mag wheels then its going to be a very late build car.It suits me fine as it gives me more time in my new GT3.

Yes it seems there's been a supply problem with the Mag wheels in the past, also I agree about more chance to use existing car, being winter I've only got 380 miles on mine which I hope to correct in summer

Was told Mag wheels Jan onwards

Great vid here featuring Henry Catchpole with Andreas Preuninger.

Goes into some details about the changes - some things that may not have been in the general releases so far..

GT3 RS now features the front diffuser panels which can be removed for track....first introduced on the GT4.

Actually it isn't. I was there yesterday and had a good look and sit in car. The colour is actually quite vivid and the whole car does have 'look at me' styling, so not my personal taste.

The Ruf '964' SCR was very interesting - https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=ruf+964+at+ge...

Saw Magnus Walker was on the Ruf stand.

Washed out look probably due to the lighting imo

Actually, that may well have been Harrison Newey. He was there with Adrian, but mainly on the Aston stand.

It’s not very attractive is it? I get the whole motorsport thing but that is getting uglier and uglier!

Looks a lot better fully painted in any colour than with the WP imho. Just get a set of magnesium wheels and job done! (If you can, of course)

Yes this is the result of the Ring lap time war .... aero and power with tyre development .......... for road cars not ideal but we are there so that is that ..but a 500k Ruf ..... no as well

Just back from Geneva
Yes to the RUF but at 650,000 euros ...
And to the GT3RS
Have to say having sat in it and sensed the interior ..
It had better be great on the track !!
Personnally the GT3 feels the more grown up car

So any delivery dates yet? My mate reckons mid April for him. TBC. My car scheduled to leave the factory on May 4th. Could be a Star Wars Car?
Cheers.

Mine locks down on 3rd April and completes on the 7th May. I saw it at Geneva last week and am happy with the green and green interior. I was tempted to go subtle but my last 2 991 GT3's have been subtle fancy something a bit brighter with the RS
