The so called ‘second batch’ is coming, forums are full of speculation based around own agendas.
I’m looking forward to specing mine early April. Will do it differently to the Lizard spec last year and steel brakes this time.
The intention was always to be a second batch..However they've run into problems getting the RS engine to pass the stringent WLTP rules..Last i heard that incorporating the GPF in the Catalytic converter(a la 992) has not worked with the NASP RS engine .The reason for this i think is in the absence of Turbos not enough heat is generated to burn off the soot particulates.Porsche are now trying a different 3 way CC with separate GPF however this still hasn't been tested or approved for WLTP.
The issue is passing the test and retaining power which is proving very problematic.
No reason to doubt what you say Taffy...and clearly someone’s given you a very detailed update. If they can’t solve the NASP problem that presumably also means there’s an issue with Speedster and 992 GT3 being NASP.

They can also get away with a bit less power for the speedster. Harder to do that with a second batch of RS when they’re already out there but (without any certain knowledge either way) I still think they are planning on a second batch.

Porsche’s UK website appears to have the cars that are still testing showing pricing, emissions and fuel efficiency all “tba” . Some Cayenne, Panamera and the 3RS are all shown that way currently.

WLTP Testing?
There going to need to reduce the size of that if its the new GPF Filter yikes

And

Is that a Speedster with a roof,the roof in the picture also looks like its quite advanced and near production quality?

Yep, doesn’t look as nice as a Spyder though or the prototypes - not that it matters to me, they won’t sell me one anyway frown

Well since I purchased ours I have been closely following subsequent purchases; by my reckoning at least another 10 have been sold. Another has appeared on the Porsche Locator today at Mayfair OPC priced at £229000 with 3675 miles so that takes current stock up to 4 again. Plus there are 2 on Autotrader. So much for the doom mongers, these cars are selling!

The white one you refer to isn't bad value especially if someone can knock £5K off the asking price..Some are up for £230K which is daft IMV in the current economic climate..At over £200K i'd much prefer a Performante ..!

But others are selling for more than that - maybe white isn’t a preferred colour - at the end of the day, if you were in the market to spend circa £200k on an RS, I don’t think many people would chose to save a few k by going for a colour/ spec that they didn’t want.

Nothing wrong with a white RS of course. But a good number have sold in the last few weeks - at least 4 from the OPC network

To include my own purchase I think that you will find that 11 have now been sold within the last month.

which is impressive - just goes to show that the pricing must be pretty well spot on currently - with a few exceptions, of course.

There were 5 for sale on the19th, back to 3 as of the 21st. I reckon that makes it 14 sold in just over a month. These cars are selling!
