Hello!

First time new-Porsche buyer and got lucky and got a PTS build slot for a GT4RS.

No mark-up fortunately.

The difference between RoW (Europe?) and NA...first time buyer walks in and picks up a GT4RS. PTS, no less. Meanwhile, stateside...rumors of $150k ADM floating around. smh

You don't have to go that far....down here you will get 100% MSRP but you do need to be on the list, usually years in advanced. There's only 1 dealer.
Of course our MSRP has the government tax of almost 35%.... kind of them adding the ADM

I'd guess that the Norwegian taxes probably double the MSRP of the car or close to it.

I wonder if tuners will make higher wing uprights for the GT4RS.

Yes I guess I’m probably paying US GT2RS money for the GT4RS, but what the heck. It’s only money and this will probably be my first and last time ever buying a brand new petrol Porsche. YOLO!

Well we should have some benefits shouldn’t we, living closer to the source?

Btw MSRP in Norway is 245125 USD… Add another 115k for my spec and your there. U.S. GT2RS money…

Thanks so you have PTS on May...that's good news. I could assume my dealer's first build slot (May 2022) could also be PTS. Crossing my fingers....

If you’re adding options cost on your end, that isn’t really apples to apples. Regardless, my post wasn’t a complaint, just amazement at the difference in situations.

Personally, I think it’s super cool you are getting one. Enjoy!

Can you be my proxy for a spyder rs?

By ticking all the boxes I could that I wanted, and by picking up the phone talking to Porsche Norway and by emailing Sonderwünsch in Germany.

I don’t have a complete Porsche code as of yet. Sonderwünsch are in the process of finalizing the CXX options. Some time in January it should be a wrap

It's a similar story in Australia, our markup is ridiculous compared to the US (MSRP starts at $245k US equivalent) and only some of that is going to taxes. Pretty much anyone who can afford it can get a GT4 here, the GT4 RS is a bit more exclusive but nothing like America. If it cost the same kind of money in the US as it does here then I suspect the supply/demand imbalance would be rather different.
