Seems like there is some cooling in the market for these now…

OPC has one up for 214k and have heard of off market movements for used cars at 200k.
Still crazy money, of course, but might mean that with supply increasing via more deliveries and also Spyder RS… we might get start to see lightly used 4RS at more sensible prices.

IMO, there are some situations where using the shifter might be useful - as the paddles move being attached to the steering.
Also so give a little bit of the 'real' manual vibe and interaction back... albeit without the foot operated clutch.

Oh god. I have held off watching the Catchpole video until just now. My Guards Red 4RS is still in Emden as far as I know. The wait is just purgatory. I can almost smell the bloody thing. Damm.

Was lucky enough to be taken round oulton in an RS and they certainly are as good as you'd imagine, perfect drivers sports car.

I was told that one of the JCT OPC's had just reduced the price of a flipping 4RS by £20k ...

Yep… to be expected.

There are a number scheduled to arrive, quite a few going back in exchange for 3RS and other models soon to be announced + Spyder RS to sap some of the overall demand.

Would others always prefer GT4RS over Porsche 991.2 GT3 RS especially when it is cheaper and faster on Nurburgring (6:56.4). Even for that matter 991.2 GT3

Different ways of going fast.

As power is would be ‘equivalent’ it’s about which chassis and type of car dynamics you prefer.

Vs 991 GT, 4RS has less tyre, and grip overall - aero and mechanical…. But as the ‘smaller’ more immediate car, providing a very emotional experience… noise and feel.

At 210K to 220K it is probably a good deal. Seeing as they are faster than a 991.2 GT3RS and they sound awsome on the track.
There probably are a few going back as the earlier ones seem to have gone to customers that are now getting a GT3RS and these cars seem to be coming through now.

Its a shame that people are doing so few miles in them. Very special cars!

They need to be under 991.2 3RS as a used proposition IMO.
It’s not a limited number car… and it is not as capable as 991.2 3RS.
Less power, less torque, less grip - aero and mechanical.
