@CAlexio You have an inside line on spyder rs info, or just repeating what you’ve gleaned off the board? You’re implying it’s a limited production (numbered?) special edition. That wouldn’t surprise me, although it would definitely disappoint me. Info or theory?

Spyder RS I Got it from the cleaning lady then confirmed with a true insider VIP. Less than a 1000 produced, 1 year production, 2023.
I've been angling for one by offering GT4Rs allocation in exchange.. an even longer shot than my wife saying yes to me when I proposed - Total surprise if it happens. It's gonna be very very hard for many, most of us.

Heck, at this point, I should just be grateful if my spyder April delivery date holds. lol Fun fun.
Thanks for the response/info.
Well... I don't know how to react given my stature as a guppy in the Porsche buying architecture, I have bought a few new ones but nothing like some of the locals I know and certainly nothing like a 918 even before they doubled in price!
I am fortunate enough to have a beautiful 718 Spyder so I am not suffering in any way, but the allure of Spyder RS sent me off on the dream tour all over again. But if the production numbers are that low then my odds are only slightly better then winning the lottery, I will say this, if I did manage to get one you would see me every where in it because these cars are meant to be driven!
It looks to me like the brakes are perhaps the larger 408mm iron setup from the 992 GT3 vs the 380mm fronts from the GT4. I'm assuming the RS wheel is a 20", but the rotors look bigger than the GT4 and the hat looks like the 992 GT3 as well. It's going to be interesting to fit 19" wheels if it has the 408mm rotors.
Interesting catch. Looks like it might be the case and if so, looks like it's cutting the difference between the current GT4 and the GT4 PCCB size with the irons. Wonder if the PCCB option will be from the 992 GT3 then?
If this is the "final" form and a press car, the side intake scoops still look larger to me than the GT4. It looks like it sticks out more. (Not talking about the quarter window intake.)
It looks like the center piece of the RS splitter is also longer and has strakes on the bottom that the GT4 doesn't have. More downforce on the front to balance with the wing out back. It will be my pleasure to scrape this on my driveway if I get one.

It’s similar to GT4 looking from the rear, so if the intake is actually wider, they must had a wider body to achieve that.
