I very much doubt it sold?
Why?It’s pretty much a one off with very few made. All the reviews rate it very highly indeed….that engine sat right behind your ears….must be bananas !
No car however good is worth £100k over list. We are currently in the twilight zone of the silly season just before the world wakes up to the grisly reality of money printing and artificially very low interest rates.
There is a harsh correction for both property and high end cars prices on the horizon which has already started. Try and get trade bids for a 992GT3 right now at substantial overs !. Too many of them on greedy SOR prices and not likely to shift until common sense prevails.
Granted the GT4 RS being a much much rarer car and a one off is far more likely to attain large overs but even so £100k is ridiculous !
The one silver lining to this dark cloud is that speculators and flippers will start to lose interest allowing real enthusiasts a greater chance of securing an allocation for one of these special cars.

Taffy some cars are still selling with overs,i have been looking for a Manuel 992 gt3,one just sold at a daft ask local to me at 60k over Or taken off the market,992 gt3 now sub 200 retail .Got excited at a 991 touring just come on the market,but now at a ask of 230!These overs have always been around and nothing new,not worth getting your knickers in a twist over.There is a harsh correction for both property and high end cars prices on the horizon which has already started.

These 992GT3 are very spec sensitive, just try selling one with comfy seats. Paying £50k overs is one thing but £100k is truly taking the piss !Rs track day just around the corner again.
A nice 992GT3 is OK at sub £200k I guess..
When are the RS day tickets out ?

These overs have always been around .
Silly overs have only been around since c2013 starting with 991.2gt3!Remember prior to that they couldn’t give away 997.2gt3/rs , 997SC , Speedster etc!
Waiting for dates taffy,they have to sort race calendars etc first.
Yep the overs market really started with the 2013 991.1 GT3 although the premiums (up to £70k over list at one point) weren't so much driven by the low numbers (332 UK cars).
The 981 GT4 and 981 Spyder continued the theme despite Porsche GB stepping in following Press reports and issuing a moritorium on OPC flipping cars and its interesting to note that despite approx twice as many 981 GT4s as 991.1 GT3s both cars even now at 7 years on are roughly at the same relative price point i.e still around £10k+ over basic list price for decent spec and mileage examples.
Not a chance will the GT4RS return to list price due to the gross deliberate underpricing of the car new together with rarity and very low number of allocations. Whilst 'just' a Cayman it makes the new GT3RS look positively expensive at c£180k basic despite the obvious ground breaking cutting edge tech.

Market is becoming flooded with porsche GT cars, as we all know the majority were bought due to it being safe money with low depreciation. That’s now changing, the difference between the wholesale bid on these GT cars to the retail price has never been so wide. Opc are now not prepared to take a chance with there own money unless they steel it off you, the risk is becoming greater every day for them.
Soon enough the Opc will lower their retail pricing to reflect the true market, as they need to sell new and used cars to make a living.
The ones likely to get burned now are the owners who bought these GT cars as investments and still have their head in the sand thinking they own the Crown Jewels.
Let’s not forget buying a GT car on a finance used to be easier, final agreed values were high after 3 years and money was cheap to borrow. Those days are gone.
A cayman gt4rs at £145k new is still punching it for a cayman, at £245k is plan daft. There are better cars that can be bought for £250k over a cayman!
Another interesting thing to look at is the spread between the bottom and the top of a market on a certain types of cars. Use a 718gt4 for example, lowest priced retail cars are now low 80k and the most expensive are still trying to be sold at around 110k. That’s a spread of 30k retail between the top to bottom of the market, just doesn’t add up.

Dont forget....
GT4 RS spec with PTS, PCCB's, Weissach pack, and the 'watch' is £160+K!
There 80-100ish K currently over list, They will settle
Thats serious money for a cayman, same price as a New PTS GT3
pays your money, Choose your poison ...
Most OPC got 2 cars now, more to come i suspect 2023

Wonder how long this one will stay listed.
That is ridiculous - for that kind of money, I'd be tempted to buy a cheap 718, take it to Manthey and say turn it into a manual GT4 RS!Wonder how long this one will stay listed.
