Amazing car. But £250 to paint a key!
You do also get a leather pouch for it, with stitching to match the interior as well wink



Yes don’t forget the stitching adds at least 10HP and will take 2 seconds off the Nurburgring Lap Time rofl rofl rofl

I hope that's justifies the price hehe

Looks superb!!
One thing: the painted keys. I did that OEM on my RS and the dealer warned me that they would inevitably chip. Sure enough the key I actually use is all chipped.
I'll get them PPF'd biggrin

I agree with this..I thought the first batch RSs with all LG exterior plus the LG cage was too much LG for me personally..However having seen pics of Juno's RS with all the contrasting exterior Carbon and the Mag cage i really like it.
It contrasts nicely and the LG has been toned down to my liking.
Just wait until I fk it up though yikes

On a more serious note even the black door handles were a factored consideration

The idea is if you follow the line from PDLS headlights through to rear wing end plates the black items are relatively evenly spaced out and create a line that the eye follows

If you didn’t do the door handles then IMO there would be a large gap from the door mirror all the way back to the rear air intake

I know it’s a bit fussy but works for me

WOW talking of being serious I was just having a mosey and spotted this

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...

Mac Senna with 10k of Topaz for £695k that's nearly 200k behind list

I just don't get why you would by one and then put it straight up for sale and blow 200k

Any ideas

A bargain for someone with plenty of dollar

I'm afraid its a sign of the times Juno.
There's a hell of lot of uncertainty out there right now which is exasperating matters..Its a good time to buy but not a good time to sell .
Luckily my current cars are all keepers atm however i'm pretty confident i'll be buying either a Lotus 430 Cup or a Macca of some sort in the near future as i feel Porsche have gone too mainstream.
I took my RS for a quick 70 mile spin this afternoon in the wet and i can't believe how much quicker it is compared to my 991.2GT3..I'm still running her in however the way it picks up from lower revs leads me to believe that the true HP diff between the two cars is more like 40 BHP rather than the official 20 BHP.
Yes that all makes sense Taffy for sure

However the bit of your post I do like is how well the new RS goes biggrin

I think I read that when JCR had it on the dyno it was making 538 HP stock?

A 720s is an itch I have to scratch in the future but as above to blow £200k=stupid
Yes I agree that the 720 is an annoying itch that causes constant scratching for some reason

I think it’s a car that provokes a little love hate relationship,quite unique at sits in a place all of its own

Can’t beat the soul of a screaming Porsche though biggrin
