Yep, can agree with this approach.

Harris loves his. Is that a standard colour or a wrap?
Its a wrap - can't remember the colour name sorry but I know it was done for him by Litchfield Motors (had a chat about it when we were there last week). Its a different shade of yellow to the one it was 'born' with wink

Good taste. It's my favourite Porsche colour.

I haven’t but then I am not interested in one. If they have that’ll make it easier to get cars for those that actually want to drive one....that would put a sensibly specced car in the £145k area. I don’t think people will be chasing allocations as a money making exercise at that price.

Yep said this last year on several forums reckon a decent specced car could be £160k.

I don’t think that’s far enough. It’s about time they started pricing them properly. For all their prowess in the engineering and marketing departments, they’ve been undervaluing their own premium products for years now.

Hopefully, what they did with the Speedster is a sign of things to come. They should put an extra £30k-40k on the price. They’d still sell a similar number, and kill the overs market at the same time.

They would have to up their game on what parts are used then.
Go look at a ferrari pista then look at the RS, Ferrari know how to make cars special once the price goes up.
A GT3 inside looks like a base model Boxster !

The Gt2 RS was expensive but had the nice bits.
The new tourings not going to be £160k imo
Loads of people said the last GT3 would be £130k and the new GT4 £95k base price.
Guess what, did not happen.

They have upped pts price and the new GT3 will I guess see a £10k lift as normal imo.

I guess the WP addresses the nice bits now on gt cars and adds £20k ish. We needs WP options on normal Gt cars.

They have finally changed the 20year old calipers on the 992 GT3 though lol.

But the RS models need to be better if you are paying >£200k

I’ve ordered Weiss Gold Fi-R’s for my GT3 which are undoubtedly more bling and don’t have the OEM look of these...think it I had a Touring the BBS monoblocs would suit the more understated look of the car.

Horses for courses etc....
Would love to see some pictures with them on. My 991.2 GT3 is coming up for 2 years old I'm considering having the oem wheels painted Weiss gold and the calipers black with gold lettering.

Agate Grey and Weiss Gold would be a great combo...had even been considering it myself in January when I was getting the car tidied up.
