Big bosh!

Steve Sutcliffes Evo review also worth a watch.

I think it looks great & after watching Harris’s review it’s made me want one even more!

No chance I’ll get one via Porsche so I’ll need to look at the overs market with gritted teeth. Any thoughts on what they will go for on the overs market?
I think it looks great as well, just not pretty!

Andrew Frankl reckoned the first few might be as much as 1/2 million, crazy.

In Henry Catchpole's Hagerty review he gets a pax lap with a pro driver which blows his mind. The driving and speeds carried are on another level.

No way would I ever allow myself to pay that level of overs!!

First flipped 991.2 GT3 RS were sold on for c £300k so c£500k for the 992 probably not far off tbh.

I have paid list for all my 3RS cars and will not pay over even if that means not getting the car. We will see.

Yes he said it in couple of the launch videos… it would be in the ball park or maybe bit quicker in some corners.
Per one of the other posts on the main PH thread, if it really did 2:08 at SS GP then it's... very quick indeed and Cup car thereabouts.

Well that'll make the car quite an interesting one to follow/watch on trackdays with 'normal' drivers then... scratchchinespecially if digga's favourite blue 992 gt3 guy swaps to one....

Looking at the temps, they should translate into strong lap times already. Cool air helps power output and in NLS we do fastest laps during the colder months...

Looking at that video makes me think one thing….who pays £350k for a GT2 RS now ? No longer the ultimate modern RS. The new GT3 RS is an astonishing machine !

Until the next one.... remember how the 991.1 RS was then eclipsed by the 991.2 RSsmile

Still, I will go for this one. It is already at a level beyond my capabilities to reach its limits and the next ( doubtless better) Gen.2 will just be further into the throretical.

Imagine a GT2RS using the upgraded aero of the current 3RS. That must be blisteringly fast around any track

Trouble is the new GT2 RS will be 50kg heavier which puts it at a minimum 1500Kg in lightest possible spec sans driver.

I managed to see this on a lap around the ring on Tuesday afternoon, the way it carries speed and how flat it corners is on another level. It sounds incredible as well.

If like the 991 GT2RS… It will also have c200hp more, not to mention the torque…. That will overcome the weight penalty and also power through any drag effect from the aero packages. Monster.

All the UK 992 GT3 RS press drives were stuck behind a 'pace' 992GT3. Plus ca change.

A Shark Blue GT3 at that so I'm surprised the RS didn't stall in protest !
