Please tell me they’re going to rag the hell out of it

If anyone ever overtakes one of these on track in a lesser vehicle, please haul the driver out and remove the keys from their possession!

Going slow because the induction noise is too loud is not an excuse ;-)

Is that rubystone?
I admire going bold with it but i am unsure about that yellow stitching as a harmonious combo.
Agreed, that's why it doesn't have yellow stitch

Another couple of shots of the said car:




No con-incidence, IMO, that the RS's seen in the UK so far are all very high spec PTS cars.

I showed this picture to a few PCGB members over the weekend who could not understand why you would want a pink car.
I think it is stunning and was most surprised by there reaction. Still takes all sorts.
I will hopefully see it at a track day in the future, knowing the owner it will get driven as intended, (I cannot keep up with him) fantastic looking car.

Personally I think it’s great, thank god for silver wheels. A bit fussy in the details perhaps but each to their own.
Another Porsche that looks better in lighter colours perhaps.
Rest assured there will not be many people who get out of the stealers with a poverty spec 4RS and no watch smile

Cars with Luke has just put up what is the first of a series of GT4RS videos. Love his work, especially the alpine shots. Even in this intro though, the engine noise is utterly wonderful.



OPC Zug have specced that car beautifully IMHO.

Launch Spec


Ollie from RPM Technik was asking me yesterday what I’d go for given the choice. … 2mins to lock spec…. I failed hard. Lol.

He has only recently got a new GT4, I bet he chops it in for one of these eventually.

He got the first GT4 that was delivered to Porsche Basel - after it was immediately flipped to Qoneo - back in 2020. Not sure if he got a different one since.

If he does get one of these, it will be interesting as he doesn't (at least, didn't) have a purchase history from Porsche in Switzerland - though, as I've mentioned before, I am not sure that is so relevant out here as I have only bought one car and got offered a 4RS. Will be a real shame (for other enthusiasts) if someone gets a "limited" car just because they post up some videos on the internet, but that seems to be the way that things work for now.

However, I communicated with Luke briefly back in 2020, as we got our GT4s around the same time, and he seemed like a decent fella, so I wish him well with his endeavours.

The 4RS is not his car, as far as he has said.

Sorry if I missed this earlier, but did you take up the offer of the ‘4RS?
