Looks like Manthey are in the final stages with 4RS performance kit…

KW V5 Clubsport on the rear


Notice that big 4RS front side blades have been removed…and back to traditional dive planes/canards.


Massive new rear wing… taking inspiration from 992 GT3 MR wing.



AoA


Looks crazy, ashame about the front side blades though...they are one of my favorite features!

Probably have to take these pics with a pinch of salt.. could be that this specific spec for Zolder testing doesn't have the blades....

That said - I did hear months back that MR had been battling front end load issues when testing at the N'ring and had been looking at a number of solutions to help the balance.
We saw from the 4RS launch laps that the top vents were actually blocked up on the Porsche development car.... maybe MR didn't want to do this... and now the front needs more df for the balancing the huge 992 GT3 MR inspired rear wing.. hence the canards... which provide that dirty df.

Mine has arrived at the dealer earlier than expected. I am hoping to collect it next week and take it straight for PPF.

Is there a Surface Transforms brake kit for these yet? Mine has standard steel discs and calipers.

Keep an eye out on RPM IG page. They have/had a 4RS in for brake conversion… and they are going to be posting about it.
Funny… car looks to be similar… familiar maybe?! Lol

Doesn’t look like the rear wing is that much bigger?

Any more pics?

They look very different. Fire Red is a very deep Red even in the dull RS day. The PTS Rubystar RS at the RS day also looked really stunning in the metal. Just goes to show people shouldn't judge bright PTS colours from online pictures as in real life they really look worth the extra dosh IMO.

I think it's very person dependent. Those two reds aren't hugely different to me, and I was at the RS day to see Fire Red up close. Personally, I'd save £7k and take Guards Red every day of the week!

I always get PTS if it’s offered. I think PTS cars feel more special than standard colours. PTS Maritime Blue isn’t that different to Shark Blue but it’s my favourite of all the options on my GT3. It sometimes looks very purple, sometimes not purple at all, depending on the light. On a computer screen or phone it often looks nothing like it looks in the metal.

I didn’t know there was a fire red at the RS Day.

Was it a GT4RS? Did it go on track (if so I can check the MSV photos)? If not, any one got a photo?

Cheers

Wasn’t on track, as it wasn’t run in. Belongs to SpookRS on here.
