Probably for September or October delivery which will be a bit annoying but hey ho. They’ll be up for £250k in the classifieds over the winter....

Since you seem to be in the know on timing with some accuracy, what’s the news on the spec. Filter? WP? Pricing?

I was about to place a dippa on a used GT3.2 PDK to use for track day use. I was then informed that i might wish to revisit this decision on the basis that the GT3.2 RS 2nd run might not be to far away.

Black is the best colour by far.

Can’t imagine there will be any different colours? Porsche has no form for this between batches of the same version of the car as far as I know?

They don't have the WLTP issue that we have in Europe, hence full steam ahead out there!

New emissions regs....all petrol cars sold in EU as of Sep last year have to have a GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter) fitted. Doesn’t apply to the US. That’s why they have been getting deliveries of all GT cars but we have no more allocations in the UK.

The infamous second batch of GT3 RS’s have to have it fitted, hence the delay as it will impact power output and maybe there are some technical issues which are causing the delay. Speedster will also need to have it fitted.

I am awaiting an update from my dealer on the 3RS, but no recent news. My Speedster was just confirmed with roughly a mid summer delivery.

If I was lucky enough to get one, are there any must haves on the specification?

Well everyone has a different take on must haves, depends what you plan to do with the car probably, ie spec for yourself regardless or with resale in mind.

I did notice on the Oz site that with the Weissach Pack option the bonnet appears to be painted in body colour now.

That looks so much better - don’t mind a bare carbon roof, but the bonnet just looks unfinished imo as too much color next to it
