agree and they have a physical GT2 RS and a GT3 touring

where on earth do they get all their stock from ? they are in the middle of nowhere as well, hardly all local based flippers surely.

Bottom line is it's just a joke - such a shame this is happening - but there you go - it is what it is.

I know I'm going to get lynched for saying this on here, but I've now seen a couple in the metal and in truth, I prefer the look of the Gen 1 - visually the only thing I didn't like about my Gen1 was the plastic - looked cheap - unfortunatly they've just made this more visible and enlarged on the gen2.

I'm sure as a car they are amazing, the gen1 certainly was (all be it a bit boring on the road) a technical masterpiece and was amazing on track. However, as a thing, it's not a looker ; so if I get one of the second batch, (which I doubt, but you never know), then I'm going black with the WP pack to hide all the plastic.

Sorry frown

Never really come across these guys before, but looking at their prices I have to assume they're mostly there for huour - the Sport Classic is over 200k more than I was offered one for by an OPC last week, the 997GT2RS is well over 100k more than the last one traded at, the 9912RS is not far off 100k more than the Romans car can (still) be bought for, and the GT3T is a fair bit more than the last one traded at last week too.

I guess its all about the negotiation, guessing a lot of this is SOR with silly prices being hoped for

I agree with you Richard..its very disappointing that so many of these ultra sought after RSs keep being given to 'flippers', who never have any intention of driving them..My DP said to me recently that if one of his customers flipped it, then categorically they would never get a GT Porsche from his OPC ever again...hmmmm..!
If i get one in the second batch i've already decided its going to be a Black WP one, with Lizard seats and stitching..For exactly the same reasons as you are..

That's tricky as OPC love flippers as long as you flip to them.

Looks fabulous. Where did you get the “PORSCHE” script on the wing done? From factory?

End of the first week and mine has 1263 Kms. Say 800 Miles in real money. It’ll be worth nothing if I keep going like this with a planned Scotland drive and a Nurburgring trip.

Which I agree with, as long as there’s transparency from both sides as to future allocation.

One lucky local chap managed to bag a 2RS and a Touring within a few weeks of each other. Amazing really.
