GT4 RS breaks cover then...
Discussion
The noise comment was interesting. Race drivers and testers (often ex racers) are not exactly afraid of a bit of noise, so to have a comment made about ear plugs was interesting
But for avoidance of doubt, if I got the chance I’d have one all day long - and the orange looks fine to me, have seen worse colour combos

Weirdly, full LED headlights don't require headlamp washers under the European Homologation regs, but HiDs/Xenon's do. I would assume potentially due to better control of the light beam, but it confused me too, since there are a number of cars recently I've noticed with full LED headlights that don't have washers and had to ask someone at work.Twinfan said:
My 718 GT4 with LEDs has headlight washers so I would expect all GT4s and GT4RSs with the same headlights to also have them.
Interesting that the orange car doesn't...
Different bumper for the RS and no Xenon only option? There’s no reason to fit the washers or make accommodation to fit them if the regs don’t require them.Interesting that the orange car doesn't...
I can’t find a single image of a 4RS with headlamp washers.

The configurator adds them if you option PDLS Plus, so the standard LEDs don't need or get them by the look of it.
Configurator will just use graphics created by a graphics company. Find me a picture of a 4RS with headlight washers in reality.....Plus. I'm not making stuff up. Homologation requirements don't require washers on cars with pure LED headlights.
I never said you were making stuff up.
The configurator is usually pretty close to reality, but I see your point. However, all the GT4RS pics I've seen have been pre-prod/factory cars aside from the orange car so might not be indicative of true road legal spec. Just because they don't need them doesn't mean Porsche won't fit them anyway.
Time will tell!

Well I think it looks bloody great 
As for the noise, yes please, it’s a track day toy not a limo, just got to get the exhaust to match the intake and it will be brilliant. The current GT4 and Spyder are just not at the races when it comes to how they sound.
In my mind the jury is firmly out on just how good a track car but the post a couple of posts up sounds very hopeful from someone who has drive both 4RS and GT3.
Fingers firmly crossed that one day I get chance to find out for myself
I agree ... I wouldn't kick it out of bed.

I think it's colour sensitive, looks way better in blue than the orange on the last page. Darker colours make it look less fussy.
It’s the black bonnet that comes with the weissach pack that makes the car far more colour sensitive IMHO. Maybe once the painted stripe option becomes available for the lucky few brighter colours will work better. GT3 RS’s where also quite colour sensitive with the side sticker pack (in black) making brighter shades work better visually.
