Because something like 75% of the rs' were ordered by with weissach, a cosmetic option buyers were killing each other for? Because dealer margin is higher on options than the base vehicle? Because if there are more buyers than cars they can either be selective or spec loaded cars themselves? Congrats on your car but I wouldn't say that's typical.
I agree with this....most of the GT cars I see around are loaded with options that, at least for me, are totally unnecessary and almost sure they were picked because of dealer recommendation or looks....loading GT cars with options can swing both ways when it's time to sell, if you are after the resale value thing.

There's been no official announcement that such a car will be sold. At the moment, it's mostly speculation (but that didn't stop me from placing deposits on them as long ago as 2015 and again in 2018).

Good point on the bonnet, but as we see from price of PCCB, they don't vary much depending on which model you spec them on. Whether it's marketing or COGS-driven hardly matters.. Porsche doesn't flinch on option prices so these affect price of lower MSRP cars so much more proportionally. So it's likely that a weissach pack would cost very similar amount to what it does on 3RS, unless they decontent it with less items (remove magnesium wheels for example).
I see GT4RS coming in at around $125k.. ~20% more than GT4, and about half as much again to GT3 base price. Key will be to order it without any frilly options so that it retains a good value for buyer where they get a good updated engine and suspension bits but don't get lost specking it up hoping to create some Uber-PTS overly specced car ..
I've heard it won't be numbered, they want to see these used on actual tracks, that's what they're building it. It's just a GT4CS you can register and drive home, not some 911R little brother. I hope the "value" conversation never ever ever comes to light with this car. It should be tracked, modified, depreciated, enjoyed, held or sold.. but never "collected" or speculated with. Enough GT2RS owners grimacing on this forum as they try to sell cars they never intended to drive.. lessons learned hopefully.
After experiencing GT4CS and getting completely smitten by how fun it was, This will be my first PDK car.

... just kidding I have no clue. But I'm very excited about it as it fills a real need.. in many track-aficionados garage.

them I suggest a DeMan or BGB 4.5L conversion with all the goodies to go so you don't torture yourself with all this waiting.......hey John at BGB can even do a conversion to PDK or just get a 718 CS and do the same thing

Debating do I buy a GT4 now (or more specifically submit a build to dealer have it built - which is then prob 3/4 months out) or if its only another 3-4 months further to get a RS should wait
