So with ADM $200k+ for an inferior, less safe, and much heavier Clubsport that you can drive to/from the track? Makes sense...

If the ADM on the Speedster wasn't $200k, it won't even be close on the GT4RS. They'll make plenty to go around, folks will just need to wait to get one for MSRP since they'll release the GT3 and GT4RS around the same time.

I'm on good terms with them. They maintain the out-of-warranty cars as well, and I've always bought from them.

#32 on the list for a GT4RS. Little to no chance that I'd get one from them as their GT4 allotment isn't that big. There must be *some* interest in it.

I'm MUCH closer on the 992.2 GT3RS list, so I'll probably have to buy used or wait for the GT3RS.
I bet many people are on several dealer lists so those list # is not accurate. Don't worry, Porsche will build enough to go around...it's all about the revenues.

IMO...that would be a HUGE mistake by PAG......have they ever launched more than 1 GT model at the same time?

Lol I think he means 200k all in.

From the testing sessions I’ve seen online at the ring, the (rumored) GT4RS has been running on the same day as the 992 GT3.

Of course, and my point was that that’s way too much too as you might as well get a Clubsport, or a gt3 RS if you insist on driving to/from the track Never thought 200k adm was even in the realm of possibility.

PDK + 9A2EVO is what it sounds like.

Some "facts" that found their way to me: 8500rpm / 480HP

If that's the GT3 engine i don't know but i doubt that they get that amount of power out of the GT4 engine.

We have never seen that kind of jump in BHP to a RS version. It seems more likely that a 15-30 BHP increase is realistic.

I know, see it as some kind of "end-of-an-era-special". 718 will go electric after that no more high reving deliciousness. It's a big boom as good bye.

How many times?...and not every time the GT3 is out you will see the "GT4RS". You have to be careful with YouTube video...lots of the are just rehash of the same day.
The GT3 was also spotted doing extensive winter testing and they already finalized the rear spoiler from the latest video compared to the earlier ones.
While on the GT4 I can only recollect 4 maybe 5 times at the ring? Still looking the same and one of the mods on the "GT4RS" ended up on the GT4 CS...hmmmm makes you wonder as IMO that intake system is 95% sure wont make it to a production model.
When we see the GT4RS lapping the ring every week and you start to see less camouflage and finalized details then you can say it's +/- 1 year away.

It sounds pretty high revving in that video; more than 8k RPM I think. Maybe it’s a 9A2 Evo with some strengthened internals taken from the GT3 engine.

Definitely a PDK. The frequency of shifts and small RPM drops make me think it might have GT3-style gearing with closely spaced ratios, with top speed in 7th.

I'm going to correct my previous post on pricing to $160-$170K if your "facts" are true.....so guessing the new GT3 has 510-520 hp you are looking at a difference of 30-40 Hp and 900 rpm less.
Also someone mentioned that the new injectors on the 9A2 Evo engine are good for a max rpm of 8000...that means new fuel system or engine.
