Cleaned it up a little after 6 racetracks, lol

Love that painted hood! And it's free, lol!

It did hit 322kmh on A4 near Erfurt 🏎🏎
For those of you that think white is TOO bright and can't decide on WP, wheel Color, etc....
I think it looks great for $170k MSRP 🤑😇.

Who cares, really? I drove btwn 170mph and 190+mph for most of my 5000kms trip! Got about a dozen speeding tickets sent to me in the mail, lol. The 4RS can hit 200mph with light winds and lots of space (Porsche says 197!).
if you want to find out for sure, join me next June when I ship the car back to Germany for some final high speed runs..rubs... Before the Socialists will declare a 130km speed limit for good!

Oh, one last thing... I left 992RS's behind me on the back straight at Spa -after no chicken-brake at Eau Rouge, lol. Reached over 170mph before the Sesses while the 3RS's tried to figure out their DRS system, lol. 4RS = No damn buttons on the steering wheel, just drive 👍🏎😎

Very simple. On German forums several tested and only achieved 305/306 GPS since speedos are notoriously inaccurate at high numbers. In other words they never achieved the max advertised by PAG.

Does anyone think that there will be a model year 2025 for the GT4 RS?

Personally, no. But I have zero inside knowledge and I’ve been wrong before. Take that with a grain of salt.

uhhmm...I just have to jump in when I smell a large pile of...... I know Spa well and have done many laps in 3RS, 4RS and GT4 Clubsport race cars. The max I have ever seen is just over 260kph. So, IMHO, there is no way can you hit 170+mph (275+kph) along Kemmel Straight in a 4RS no matter how fast you take Eau Rouge. It is just not long enough and is slightly uphill all the way. Hell, even the new GT4 RS Clubsports competing in GT4 class races and lapping Spa in 2:32s only hit 255'ish kph. Timo Bernhard in a GT3 Cup car lapping at 2:25sec only just touches 261kph along Kemmel straight. So without video proof, I boldy say bollocks.

Lots of speculation on this one. My dealer told me that everyone in PCNA right now is essentially in the dark about it. That said, he does believe we will see the cars into and possibly through 25.

It has been reported in the media that the ICE 718 will exist along the EV for some time, - so that is certainly helping to muddy up things. What really would be a doozy is if they facelifted the 718 again with an interior more in line with the 992 (which IMHO is a downgrade with all the screens).

My bet would be yes because Porsche needs more time to build more SRSs so they'll offer up some 4RSs with the SRSs allocations in 2024 which will include MY2025 cars.
