The standard GT3 and GT2 RS has left the Porsche UK configurator however the GT3 RS is still there..Waiting to see if/when a second batch of RSs coming to the UK is the only subject which bores me more than Brexit.( 718 GT4 close second)
Last i heard that if any more RSs get here it won't be until around August time..By then i'll have spent the money on a Ferrari/Lambo/Macca of sorts and the RS will be even further from my mind..

That's interesting Taffy I hadn't noticed that the 3RS and GT3 had been removed,thanks for pointing that out. Maybe its an indication if the 3RS is still on the configurator that something may be due to happen, #AUGUST

Macca not sure that's a good idea? Lambo Performante quite special

Should we start a separate topic along the lines of what it might be like to buy European vehicles in the case of a no deal Brexit

how's the TI bypass, like it ?

And what may I ask does a TI bypass pipe have to do with more GT3RS or Brexit ???????????????????????????

Anyway mine sounds great expect its not a TI one but still very pleased

August deliveries for a car that's now been superseded by the 992? Really?

The fact it's still on the configurator does seem positive, but I'm struggling to see how we'll get any more UK cars.

There is another run 2nd quarter

Do you have insider dealing information on this?

You do know me of course

Excellent

My theory is what may look like GT3RS build slots in the Porsche system are actually Speedster slots, which would make more sense to me than a re-run of an old 991.2 model.

I just don't see what Porsche has to gain by producing a small number of UK only GT3RSs now that the 992 is out.

The Speedster is also a 991 GT3 chassis at heart I believe so they would still be producing old alongside new!

I guess it will be like last batch , call out of the blue , come and spec with deposit by tomorrow lunch time .......

That would be good!

Juno , hope all goes well for you , good time to get them as the track season is in full swing .I think the reason for the sudden call was directive from Porsche GB ...

Thanks

[Juno]

They need this problem sorted for the 992 GT3 and GT3RS so they might as well get on and do it!

As it will be the same engine IMO once done its all there in the same format for the 992,its got to be done for the 992 so why not R&D it on the 991,it cant be that hard for an automotive engineering company,its also going to be done for Speedster which is almost the same. I would guess that they publish the data and self certificate,I cant see a government official turning up to test each new model or model change.

Porsche having dropped all the diesels must have a limited work schedule anyway,they need to crack on!!!

What the latest on the second batch then? Come on all the usual suspects that seem to think they know more than the OPC’s and us guys that buy a fair few

Nowt I can tell anyone,I’m just a patient waiter in the wings

The only thing my dealer can tell me with accuracy is their opening hours

No more news? Other than secret squirrel PMs?

Feel free to share!

I spoke to my OPC this evening about the second batch..They still think they'll come but no official news from PGB..

Same with mine nothing in black and white!!!

Just been to porsche motorsport north america,loads of gt3rs and gt2 sat around and deliveries still happening for the america,s.

They don't have the WLTP issue that we have in Europe, hence full steam ahead out there!

[Juno]

The Porsche offering at Geneva this year looks pretty poor, no GT cars at all as far as I am aware

Those on here that are eligible will spec late next month max

My dealer is in the same group and knows diddly squat

In other news..... im looking forward to my 992 C4s arriving early April to sit alongside my .2 GT3RS

Is that rubbing it in? i'll get my coat. On a serious level, P are really hanging the second batch out, a few guys that passed on the first batch are stressing out, glad i pulled the trigger on a first batch car, this wait would send me over the edge!!

Pleas do NOT use the term “this would send me over the edge” as it makes me feel physically SICK

I believe that the Petrol Particulate Filter will add 18-20Kgms probably where you don't want it. I wonder if that will necessitate a rear suspension upgrade.

Makes sense as there is two of them, one for each bank.The difference between the GPFs in a NA GT3 RS or GT4 is there are no Turbos..In the 992s the GPFs are incorporated in the existing Catalytic converter and situated right by the Turbos which emit glowing heat which burns off the soot particulates caught in the GPF. For obvious reasons this can't be duplicated in an RS, coupled with tunable Turbos which collectively have caused significant engineering problems in getting the GPF to work on highly tuned NA engines.

I’m guessing that the exhaust guys will be along very soon with a solution to remove them! However I’m guessing that this could also involve some warning light issues and maybe map mods so a warranty issue. Obviously not as easy as just deleting the rear box!

Looking on porsche.de - It would appear that the front bonnet can now be specced in body colour and the MAG wheels are available.....

UK release must be pending?!

I hope you are right
