Possibly those Spyder plates become gills like on 550 spyder RS.
Wont it just be a updated one of these

Damn, that is nice. @gtdriver1 What is it? Don’t think I could justify a car with NO roof. I had a cobra kit car before, and the utility is just so limited. But that would fit the role of 1 year production, halo NA 6 final edition collector’s car to the T.

Would this be too derivative of the Ferrari monza sp? Would that matter?

Boxster Bergspyder

https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2019...-weissach.html

Its from 2015, so possibly may have been the car to kick off the trend of Monza, Elva, etc

Agree, practacility isnt great, but what a car to have to pull out for a long drive on a nice summers evening

That’s now my leading candidate for spyder rs. Perfect limited run, high $$, collector car.

That would also save me from losing any sleep over getting one. lol

Yeah if didn't get your name on a list for a GT3 6 months to a year ago, your probably not getting a 992.1 in the next year unless you're willing to pay a sizable markup.

Maybe Porsche will surprise us and massively shift production in favor of GT3's but it seems like it's gonna be slim pickings for quite some time. GT4RS will probably be even harder to get a hold of.

I think realistically it will be just like the regular spider, with more carbon fiber on the interior, maybe a really cool touch like carbon fiber skinned doors with just a little bit of racetex, It will definitely have a roof but there will be some kind of extra air intake, maybe slightly more aero appendages, And some really high end magnesium style multi spoke wheels.

How long in advance of release do test mules appear? What’s the minimum accepted lead time?

I'm not shopping for a GT3 but there's one for sale near me with a $100k ADM

would be nice to think the GT4RS will come without that hefty ADM but I won't be shopping for one, especially at $100k ADM
I was originally on the list at number 2 in Feb 2015, money talks

Interesting ideas, I just don't know, physicals bit like you mention are pleasing to the eye but I hope that the meat underneath supports the loftier goal of a RS moniker... just have to wait and see what they offer and for how much!

I don't think so, Porsche hasn't been playing that game with their GT/RS models lately, this is not a heritage Targa we're talking about...
Maybe a little BergSpyder'ish with even more hardcore edge and maybe a low air scoop between the roll bars? or head-level side scoops up behind the doors...

Default On board the new Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS at the Nürburgring


This is one way to announce the GT4 RS..

Supposedly 23.4 seconds faster than the GT4.

In the text it mentions a racing seat and Cup R tyres.
