So the new 992 GT3 is $16K over the 991.2 (base models)....my guess would be +$13-14K over base GT4 w/ PDK.
For us down here is a killer as we pay almost 33% duties.....I really need to see the specs, don't care about future value..

I'd guess at least $130K - 140K, given the base price of new GT3.

That would be too low IMHO considering the seats, PDK, extra hp, aero, etc, etc, that a RS usually gets. I was in the +$25k camp but thinking now it will be +$35k +/- over the base GT4.

Hmmm you might be right...LWBS and the upcharge for carbon bits.....+$30K is a big jump.

In the GT3 world the RS was usually priced 30% higher. Don't see much of that changing. Except that some newer extras seem to ask for more.

Agree, add in PCCB and if they do a WP you’ll be pushing GT3 base price.

Hoping they include some suspension changes to help sort out the rear end wiggle we are experiencing with the GT4. Gonna need more than a little HP, Exhaust/Tune, and Carbon pieces.

I don’t think that the price is higher than expected. The increase is less than the 981 to 718 GT4 price change which was about 18%.

Still think the 718 RS will come in +/- $135 plus options.

Interesting mule. No centerlocks, no front fender vents and it has the clubsport side intakes with the wide open hole rather than the louvered version we've seen until now.

I was told getting a 4RS allocation will be next to impossible. Nobody knows for sure but early thoughts are this will be a special run car and they wont male a ton. Both dealers that told me this have me at the top of the 992 gt3 list with guaranteed slots. Would be nice if these are obtainable but im not holding my breath

Depends, a lot of people will have put down deposits years ago - they will get called first when its released and get the option. Theres a lot to improve on the GT4, starting with the rear suspension and front track and then working back to the engine and aero. I suspect a lot of those with long term deposits in place may well pass, if key improvements haven't been made. This in turn will open up windows for others.

The GT4 RS isn't a slam dunk - giving the car more HP and torque isn't the answer in isolation.

The license plate matches one of the earlier mules that was seen last summer; pictures of which posted earlier in this thread.
