Ending production
My dealer told me they are ending production and will be announcing it shortly.
Also said that gt3 rs will be a starting price at 235 and they will limit production to 500 units in us.

Has to be a mistake. The difference between the GT3 and RS is not worth $105,000.

Wow, that's 458, MC12 and Lambo money. They have to be kidding.

I m only telling you what the owner of the dealership told me. He owns 35 dealership (not all porsches obviously) and I am a 918 owner as well.
I have gt 3rs on order but I have not heard any pricing on it either except that.

So having worked in this business for the past 7 years, here are my thoughts:
Let's assume for a minute that this dealer has correct information... What would the GT3 RS have to be in order for Porsche to sell 500 units at $235k a pop? We already know it's a Turbo-body, PDK and has a wing, a different roof and a handful of other weight savings that will hopefully bring the overall weight back down to that of the regular GT3. I agree with the rest of you, that this would not sway Porsche buyers to plunk down an extra 100k.
The only thing we really don't know about the upcoming RS, is how much power it will have. Some have speculated it will have a turbo, but then why not call it a GT2? Further, it seems unlikely that Porsche will push the current GT3 motor much harder given the massive debacle that happened with the 2014 roll out. So what would justify spending another $100k plus in Porsche owner's minds on an RS? Simple: a massive N/A engine making well over 500 horses.
WHAT IF the RS comes out with a 4.0 liter version of the new engine making over 550 hp?? With 997 RS4.0's currently trading for $300k plus, Porsche offering a brand new car at $250k seems like a bargain!

IMHO, A dealer principal with 35 franchises would be even more useless to tell one the facts of a future model when compared to a single franchise owner who most likely eats, sleeps and breathes nothing but the brand.
Starting price forcasts at $235k must include the dealers markup above MSRP....
