Northern Europe. Going in to do my PTS configuration on Thursday. Colour will be Lambo's dark metallic orange called Arancio Xanto.
Does anyone know what kind of weight we save by selectjng the Weis pack? Also, what is the difference between the soft, medium and hard 3D seats?

The Magnesium wheels are separate from the WP package in the US configurator (might be different in other markets) Although selecting the Magnesium Wheels will automatically select the WP package in the US configurator.
The front hood (boot lid) is already painted CF on the non WP models, so there won't be any meaningful weight savings there (UV coating for the WP vs primer + paint + clear coat on non WP). Same goes for the rear wing which is already painted CF on the non WP cars.

[QUOTE=GrantG;17810490]Pretty sure the modern Mag wheels use a much more resilient magnesium alloy than older versions.
They have been improving them a ton over the years.
Have a friend who drives his 72 Pantera with very visible crack through a spoke 😮
New ones don’t do this and are said to last longer than Aluminum alloy wheels now…
I have 3 sets of OZ Racing magnesium wheels for my 2008 Lambo GT3 race car. They have done countless endurance races and the only replacements I've had have been either from flats or accidnet damage.

The numbers are good. In Australia, you will be more likely to secure a GT4RS in 2022 than a std GT4, Spyder or Carerra let alone a boxster or 4 cyl Cayman. You are correct about the smaller dealers; I would doubt more than one or two car in Townsville! My local Sydney dealer will quote you 2023 for a carerra at the moment but I know has taken a number of GT4RS orders and are saying most likely 3rd quarter 2021 delivery; but who knows. Porsche would be silly not to sell RS's for another AUD 100k per car rather than fill up Australian production slots with cheaper cars. All said though, I still think the RS is a bargain with "that" motor.

IIRC the 981 GT4s had a similar start of sale month in 2015 but all were classified as MY16. Wondering if this similarity will mean all GT4RSs will be MY23s from the git-go and there will be no MY22s; for the US at least.

[QUOTE=Warwick Morris;17813421]
A lot of these modern street mag wheels are blended alloys, not 100% pure magnesium. Same goes for some of the race wheels. Remember that these,wheels have to be approved for street use,all over the globe. E, TÙV, JIS standards etc. It's not like in the US where custom wheel manufactures don't have to test wheels, and where you can drive o. Pretty much anything. If this wheel was nkt tested, it would not be for sale in Europe, the UK and Japan just to mention a few places with pretty stringent standards in this regard. There will probably be a stamp in the wheel somewhere, showing what kind of alloys are in the wheels.
