The chat on Rennlist is that they've had loads of GT4RSs in the US with plenty more to come. If anyone here in the UK wants a car they should probably keep in touch with their OPC and see what happens, you might find one comes your way?
Over 1000 built or in build for US already. London GT3 said:
I finally got to drive mine yesterday after picking it up from PPF. I am delighted with the job done by Jules Sturgess Automotive near Cambridge. He also changed my black "GT4 RS" decals for silver to match my wheels.
This was the first time I have been in a 4RS and I can't believe the induction noise. I had heard people talking about it but until you have heard it for yourself it is difficult to comprehend.
I am really looking forward to getting the car run in and then used as intended. My letter of intent was sent to Porsche Hatfield on 4th March 2016. I am really grateful to the team at Hatfield for allocating this car to me. I am not a flipper (I only just sold my 2003 996 GT3 RS which I owned since new!) and I have never purchased Porsche cars that I didn't want.
I'd love a Cayman GTS with the GT4 suspension GT3 engine. Aged almost 50 I couldn't drive a car on the road with that wing. Is there an R model due?This was the first time I have been in a 4RS and I can't believe the induction noise.

I don't think it's age related, more how comfortable you are with the image it portrays and whether it suits you 
It's an RS model. In looks and performance it does exactly what it says on the tin. In no way is it for everyone or an all-rounder!
They're fabulous cars but not for me. I can see why those who love them absolutely love them though
I'm 57 and don't feel overly conspicious driving my 4RS although I deliberately went for an understated Black one. Don't think I could drive the new 992RS on public roads especially with the silly Pyro Red wheels. Looks too much like Noddy's car in my humble opinion. Stealth is best on the 3RS.

Have any of you GT4RS owners done a timed 100-200kmph run? I've been looking on the Dragy app ever since they came out, can't see a single GT4RS on there.
about 7.3 sec if you see the to 100 and to 200km/h times.https://fastestlaps.com/models/porsche-718-gt4-rs

I feel for you Seawise. I had given up hope on my situation of ever getting a 4RS allocation. So much so that in Dec 2021 I didn't think I would get a 4RS allocation and my wife was looking to change her Macan. She bought a Jaguar F Pace SVR instead of a Porsche Macan GTS because I hadn't had the 4RS allocation. And then, unexpectedly, it all fell into place for me just before Christmas 2022. I was lucky that there had been a recent change of Dealer Principal at Hatfield and the new DP seems to be more "straight forward" in looking after his customer base rather than his mates. I have also had a long relationship with the salesman that looks after me and he put me forward for the allocation. I really hope your interest does turn in to an allocation. There appear to be more 4RS coming than were originally envisaged. Don't turn it down on principle. The car is still one of the greats. Good luck.
Cheers - always good to hear when the odd genuine enthusiast gets an allocation, based partly on a long standing loyalty to the GT products (speaking also as a two time 996 RS owner…) - yours looks brilliant in gentian blue and silver wheels, classy spec.Paul_N said:
I’m pushing 59 & trust me if could get an allocation would be driving a 4RS, wouldn’t care what anyone else thought, wife loves them as well & 18 months older than me
Mid 70's, my car will be here circa 4 weeks.Didn't have any problem with my old 718 GT4 or my 991.2 WP RS, it depends how old 'you' feel.

Its all about your energy!rkwm1 said:
I dont think UK will have anywhere near that. Maybe around 250. How many have opc had now?
2-3 per OPC I think, so around 120 cars.It will all depend on whether they use the released GT4 capacity to produce GT4RSs. They're certainly going to be around for another model year.

Yes will be more later in the year. I know of a few OPC's that have had their cars pulled for MY23 to go into MY24! Biggest estimate i've heard is 300. It will all depend on whether they use the released GT4 capacity to produce GT4RSs. They're certainly going to be around for another model year.
Lets see, i hope so, so that more prople get to enjoy this fantastic car!!
Out in it yesterday/today, first time temp is getting into mid teens and it feels better than ever

I had a LOI in since early 2016 at my dealer too, but have gone from top of list prior announcement, to second, to no longer second, to nowhere. My chap is now too embarrassed to give me updates, which I completely understand as it’s not his shout. I suppose i should post my car life on instagram and share it with a load of randoms.
I’m well past caring to be honest, just think it’s a really screwed up way of treating very long standing loyal customers. To be frank if they called with an allocation offer next week i think on principal i would pass, as i have totally lost interest in the brand and how it views its customer base.
