I was hoping it'd be from Porsche 'Exclusive Manufacture' options, could be a bit hit-and-miss if your local OPC subcontracts it out!!

It's not sub-contracted out, it is a CXX option you order from the factory, but it is a £5,000 plus VAT option... I've ordered one on mine eek

I do not know where people get the idea that there will be 2-3 cars per dealer next year. This year the majority of dealers are getting one, the bigger ones two, and some maybe nil!
The fact that the car that was driven up the hill at Goodwood was an electric Cayman and not the GT4RS says it all for me, that Electric is Porsche's main focus Cayman wise. I would be surprised if there are more cars next year than this , as production for petrol Cayman's is ending in the not too distant.

The GT4RS is going to be a very mouthwatering prospect, can't wait!

4RS just sounds like a 718 GT4 from outside…. and therefore not ‘loud or sweet’ from outside.
So this is for those that want the exhaust sound and tone to match the excellence of the internal sounds.

Not sure I would do it myself but sounds fantastic IMO.

There will be more next year.

Apparently GT4 production will switch over to RS instead.

I'd guess UK car numbers will be around the 150 number.

Not sure on numbers, but agree that it won't be that limited. my dealer (a small UK OPC) got a 2nd 2022 build allocation for October and is expecting several more next year (i am aware of larger UK OPC's with 3 build slots for 2022 already). He was told that GT4 production will cease this summer recess and will be only RS subsequently, so numbers should swell. all pretty normal stuff in the usual GT3/RS build cycle which i have been told will be mirrored for GT4/RS.

Saw the car exiting M40 southbound towards Stratford on Avon this morning. Sounds pretty good IMHO. Not over the top loud.

You are lucky enough to get the chance to purchase a GT4RS and THAT is the colour you choose? Sweet baby Jesus.

Yeah likewise, and I know of others who have build slots after the summer shutdown - there is no chance they totally can GT4 production to solely produce GT4RS.

Yes spec'd WP, Mags, PCCB, Front Lift etc. I personally really like the Carbon bonnet and think it should go very well with the Oslo. I know people have very different views on the bonnet though but I love it. Excited to see how it compares to my Fathers GT3 coming around the similar time.
Very cool.

I take it this is yours?

Jake, just curious to know if you've taken delivery of your Oslo Blue car yet ??
