I don’t need to…but I would totally “upgrade” my GT4 PDK to this if I could get one at MSRP + and a reasonable amount of ADM. But I am not a VVIP, so realistically, the true ADM for me likely puts it above what I think the delta to be worth.

I’ve always been a fan of the RS models, and I think this will be a hit with fans of the Cayman platform.

This would be a really short production length of three months. Frustrating when you are willing to fork over $150K for a car and you don't have a chance. I'll send over the customary email and phone call only to be laughed at by my dealer.

I'm not really sure how these notices are formatted. Another take would be that the first date is when it's first produced for Europe and second date is for US and other secondary markets? Just a guess...

I think the first column is introduction, and the second column is start of sales, whether that is production start date or first deliveries not sure. Read this somewhere here

Also, we don't know how old that pic is, do we? Plans could be very different now with all the shortages.

RS spyder is such a cool prospect. I wonder how they will integrate those top mounted engine intakes from GT4Rs side windows

Take a peek in the 718 CS forum. The upcoming RS could be quite the car!

What are you, 12? Either provide info or go away. Seriously.

@ForeverCar I assume you mean the GT4 CS forum, and the GT4 homologated race car memo. That engine takes 98 octane gas (per the memo). I am not enough of a petrol head to know what a street gas version of such a motor would generate.

Now you are making the assumption that the Octane rating is based on the US system. If you 👀 at the previous CS’s rating it was 98 as well but RON based.
You focus on engine rumors but take the gas octane for gospel.
