Anyone Know How Many .2 991 GT3RS Were Delivered

This so happened to me. With all the issues with particular filters I could see U.K. allocations going ROW, why would Porsche be bothered to basically redesign for U.K.

A re-design would be for all EU would it not, a significant market ??

I think this could have been part of a ploy to get the car registered as a new model before Sept, with a view to trying to get a filter exemption for the main batch.
Whether they can actually wangle it or not remains to be seen.

This makes sense..

100% correct..I'm now pretty convinced that the UK will get a second allocation run, including WP which would render all non WP RSs in the first batch totally worthless.;)

I hope their is a second run because I turned a first batch car down so I could obtain a Weissach car, however I truly believe my DP that a second run is happening

Well that sounds positive there’s never smoke without fire!

Thanks for the mail--yes I'm certain IMO

Or more sort after due to no exhaust button and a petrol filter thing.

I'm interested to see what the power level is of the second batch if it comes with a GPF.

If it's lower than the 520bhp of batch 1 will buyers be annoyed?

I understand they're circa 545 bhp































Only joking of course

[Twinfan]

They'll be the first NA GPF cars from Porsche by the sound of it.

If the first batch of cars have got more power and a throatier exhaust they’ll be the ones to have WP or not I reckon. I imagine after all there troubles Porsche will make it quite difficult for people to remove the PF.

Still I wouldn’t say no to a second batch car!

Yes I would agree with that, however I cannot see them producing a second run of cars with a lower performance level-it's just not Porsche?

Indeed - but overcoming the increased noise reduction (more restrictive exhaust) and the GPF (another exhaust restriction) while maintaining 520bhp is surely going to be a serious technical challenge? In lesser powered cars a GPF has reduced power by a decent amount, so in a 9k revving NA engine I think it might be an issue.

Hence why I think the spec of any second run cars will be interesting to read.

The WLPT is clearly the elephant in the room, however I'm not convinced that a RHD car will need additional work/investment--same LHD engine/exhaust etc etc.

I repeat again I’ve been told Jan/Feb for my car, possibly some DP's are more switched on than others? the caveat being of course we don't know what future problems may arise for Porsche extracting more power to make up the shortfall for which I'm sure they will try.

[Twinfan]

I guess the key thing would be what's in the Porsche ordering system. Does your car have definite build and lockdown dates? That would confirm a second batch is coming.

The Jan/Feb estimate sounds a little more vague and therefore not confirmed?

No way Porsche will release a second batch with less than 520PS..All IMHO.

My thoughts too, hence me thinking there won't be a second batch

I hope there is though and Porsche find a way to overcome the restrictions forced on them by the new regulations.

Can you tell us who your DP is so we can get our DP’s to ring you’re DP to find out how they get to be better informed, please!

Oddly have to agree with Isaldri , after a few track days , maybe leave the power ( even if less ) and deliver the cars with Michelin Cup R's . The spring rates and set up needs them to optimise performance more than a few BHP . It is a great car track wise but needs more tyre grip .... simple really

Only by comparison to a race car on slicks though. As far as road cars are concerned, the RS already has a lot of grip for it's power to be honest. I'm not entirely sure it will overall be a better car with even more grip. Faster on track sure (as the Cup2 R tyres are showing on mag tests) but faster isn't necessarily better...

Now the 2rs for sure I'd agree is a car that would want more tyre grip but perhaps not the 3rs.

[hunter 66]

Again grip may be more important with less power , as need to maintain corner and exit speed . As a road car yes maybe the Dunlop tyres are better , quieter and better in the rain ( thankfully not much of that although went through a biblical downpour on the way to Le Mans and no aquaplaning issues ) . But on track a slow and mid speed corner understeer is always forcing to get out of the throttle at the wrong time . Also when pushing in this recent weather the tyres do go off very quickly ( like pirrelli slicks ) .
Just an old Gentleman driver option though
