Beware this is an artist's impression by a 16yr old in Stuttgart but what do you reckon? I hope its as rare as the GT3RS.... although because its a cheaper model I wonder if they will be bashed out in huge numbers?

Since their introduction, one has seen GT3RSs at track days and offered for sale so often that it has seemed that they were bashed out in huge numbers too!

Great that they are getting used though eh?

Used supply seems to have dried up a fair bit of late too, although I'm not sure whether thats seasonal. There are suggestions that the UK may have been blessed with a large number of RHD 996RS imports from other regions further increasing oversupply.

I'm not convinced by the autoexpress article linked though. As pointed out on the other thread, it's a June article and appears to be based largely on guesswork. It would also cut into the 997 market which might not be the smartest move commercially.

Thanks With regards to Farnham, sadly no, that would require a horrendous drive across London and then out. I went to a Virgina Water PH meet once, and it took 2.5 hours and everyone was leaving as I arrived. Never again!
