But, PTS, Weissach pack and Mg wheels were not available on batch 1 RS, so its not a fair comparison.....?
Its all personal at the end of the day..I never really chased the RS first batch as i only wanted the RS with Weissach pack..Whether or not i was in the running to get one in the first batch is another matter but very happy with the way things have turned out..
All three RSs at my OPC are apparently going to be Black WP ones which is in total contrast to the first batch which were two LG and one Miami..

I've gone WP and mag wheels, as like you say these options were never available on batch 1. Also in the EU, although WP was available you couldn't spec the mag wheels due to supply issues. Any mag wheel stock was going into 2 RS production. So, a WP, mag wheel car will be fairly rare.

It's a perfectly fair comparison - some aspects of the spec of each batch will appeal to different buyers smile

tell them i sent you wink
Honestly the first batch RS in LG both outside and inside looked amazing and the colour combo i'd have chosen in the first batch..In the second batch WP RS then it's either Black or GT Silver, both of which blend in nicely with the Carbon.

I went for LG thinking i really loved the LG when next to the batch 1 car and hoping the WP would bring extra “bite” in combination with black magnesium wheels. But the number of back and forth with the Black and GT Silver in the days before I locked specs. Also for a change. Even now writing about it... 🤔. one thing I have always been certain of though was I would be happy to avoid the GPF😂

But perhaps we could buy a pile of shiny dealer fit carbon to make our Batch 1 look like a Batch 2. Or better still get the paint stripper out, mask off the lines and hey presto a WP. Oh hang on mines got some sort of metal roof- bugger!

I thinking i might change my spec to a painted bonnet RS and paint the roof in body colour to fool people into thinking its a first batch RS. Can't have people thinking i'm driving around in a GPF neutered RS..
