Hey, I resemble that remark!

 

Thats why I am asking! I heard it got put on hold.

 

Not sure how you put an anniversary model on hold... wouldn't be an anniversary model then. Last rumor I heard was that it's based on the GTS 4.0 and not the Spyder. Which makes sense of you think about it.

 

It will be interesting to see what they come up with, but for me I am fully invested in the Spyder, with the tweaks I have already done it will keep me engaged for a very long time...

Interesting snapshots from instagram

GT4XX via FW



And then from AP confirming the GT4RS

 

DONT you bring THAT fight to this forum! When we lost dry clutches, then SSSA, THEN trellis, and now desmo (new multi).. then yes, ducatisti the world over died inside and started speaking Japanese... so.. brand attributes DO matter, call them what you will.

... back to our regularly scheduled Porsche programming.

 

A bit sorry my rubberband head isn’t a bevelhead.

 

Interesting after I got it translated...as always they evade giving a direct, concise answer providing one that could go in any direction.

 

Is the GT4RS destined to be like a few other Porsches that have extremely limited runs and pop up on the market with low miles and fetch significantly over MSRP after a few years?

 

If people could only see the future.

 

I don't have info, but my gut says no. When Porsche want to do something limited, they call it that with a special moniker (911R, sportclassic, etc). An RS product is an RS product, has never been limited. Also when you think of the cayman body, it's not the top dog 911.. so it wouldn't make sense to me that they go to the trouble of developing a mid-market car at $130k or so, and then limit it. My guess is that Porsche sees the competition in the form of other powerful track cars (everything from mustang GT500 to c8 Z06 etc) and sees a niche to fill. GT4RS may be initially in high demand but just like we saw with 991 GT3RS, they built as much as the market wanted... and why wouldn't they?

The only people who want you to believe otherwise, are the Porsche dealers who's premiums are shakily propped up by their scarcity principle marketing deceit.

 

You argument makes good sense to me!

 

Agree 100% plus I think they're going to make as much as they can sell because initial GT4/Spyder was probably quite high coming off the 981 generation but then Covid stifled sales tremendously and Porsche spent lots of money developing a bespoke engine (from 992 9A2) for the GT4/Spyder platform. They need to recoup the development costs and make money and by spreading engine to the Spyder and even down to the GTS and then eventually to the GT4 RS (albeit tuned up a little bit), it'll help them turn a profit on what otherwise is a great car with bad timing.

I say, PAG build your hearts out. This is the kind of stuff we wish many other car manufacturers would do with their "special" cars.

 

I heard people said Porsche may stop GT4 for 2022 and retool the production line for GT4 RS? So Porsche doesn't sell normal GT and GT RS cars at the same time?
