I think once final numbers are totted up when they finish building them the GT4RS is going to be anything but rare.

They are bloody everywhere already, in fact all the newish GT cars have been built in huge numbers with people all believing they've managed to get a rare car. Car meets are awash with 992 GT3'S and 718 GT4'S and Spyders and theres generally at least one GT4RS at any Porsche car meet.

None of this distracts from how good the car is to drive of course but Porsche have done some really magic marketing to sell thousands and thousands of something and it still be perceived as rare.
Naa. Most common GT car I see are GT3. Honestly not seen many 4s or spyders on the road.
I've yet to see a 718 Spyder RS in the flesh let alone on the road. Only seen 1 GT4RS on the road, but plenty of 992 GT3's and 1 or 2 992 GT3RS's. I've seen a few 718 GT4's also.

I was at a Porsche meet 2 weeks ago with 178 cars and 992 GT3 was the most common of the GT range.

This….

I live in Central Scotland so in and around Glasgow/Edinburgh/Aberdeen and regularly in Central London also - I have never seen a GT4RS on the road yet anywhere (nevertheless a Spyder). I wouldn’t say I see lots of 991/2 GT3 but I do see them probably every month or two.

I attended a breakfast meet on Monday, there was a GT4RS, a 992 GT3RS, a couple of 991 GT3RS, a 718 Spyder, about 4 or 5 GT4'S and several 991 and 992 GT3'S oh and a 992 Sports classic.


That's in a pub car park in Kent.

smile ... Switzerland has a 1000 Chf note ... they also are just tucked-up, particularly when Swiss base rate was -0.5% and businesses were paid to borrow money which the banks had charged their customers to deposit !

Well if correct, the 4000 cars that were first suggested may become 7000 cars of which the UK market share should be around 10% ... =700 ?

How many Left to the end of '23 suggest 981 / 495, 718 / 622, 718 PDK 519 / 718 RS 175 ... ++

This would suggest that everybody who wants one should get one ...

So in Cayster production it will end up less rare than a 987 CR or Spyder both of which only a couple of hundred came to the UK.

There will be fewer UK 4RS compared to 987 981 and 718 Spyders combined.

Interesting that UK GT4RS sold would seem to likely be very roughly around 5% of the total sold to date worldwide (basis 190 odd listed on howmanyleft as at quarter 3 last year). So maybe 350/400 cars by Q3 in 2025 - assuming similar levels of cars heading this way?

Not really you were the one who initially brought the 987 into the numbers comparison as ever attempting in vain to talk 4RS prices down not me.

7000 worldwide isn't a rare model,

Rare cars are things like

996 GT3RS - 600 ISH
997 Sports Classic - 250
997 GT3RS 4.0L
991R - 991
Cayman R -1621
987 Spyder - About 2000
And of course 992 speedster, ST and Sports Classic

Certainly not a car I'd be paying overs on.

Yes I'm sure that 997 GT2RS and GT3RS 4.0 were around 600 units each ...

What interests me is how successful Porsche have been at selling the Weissach package ... mascara for a GT4RS ??

T ... how can one find those numbers ? Obviously RoW is everything other than North America in this case ...

I know this is a GT4RS thread so apologies for the derail but the GT Porsche rarity lie is blatant, there are currently 80 992 GT3'S and 15 992 GT3RS for sale on Autotrader.

There's 16 Dakars for sale....there's a novelty toy if there ever was one.

The numbers came from someone on RL that had access to production numbers but now will probably not be updated until the end of model year.
