For all the guys looking at having to pay an ADM to get a GT4RS allocation, I'd say try not to pay more than $50k. If dealers stand firm at $75k-$100k then just wait patiently because the economy is already weakening so patience will be rewarded.

Since this is the last, and best porsche with a gas engine, i dont think those prices are going to come down. i think those GT4RS cars will be a a million dollars just like the 997.2 GT3RS 4.0 in short order.

Default Thoughts on silver wheels?

Hi all
i have a build slot for June. I did black, WP, lift, Bose, steel brakes.
thoughts on silver wheels with the black?
it’s hard to get a feel for the standard gunmetal color but was trying to avoid black rims.

Nice contrast but l prefer the standard Aluminum wheels. Looks a bit more sleath plus it'd hide the brake dust better.

Arctic grey. Not a fan of the grey seat inserts so may eventually swap them out for black. Deviated stitching in speed yellow also crossed my mind…

Looks clean but yeah it's a difficult choice. I have standard gunmetal grey on my GT4 and think they look great (Car is GT Silver Metallic). But it is really the overall combination of everything and what you want to express that finally determines the choice. Going with the black rims with black body gives a bat mobile vibe but can look cool I think. You could add the outer rim in yellow for a nice contrast. But I guess your build is locked now?

Pretty sure it’s locked. Worst case I’ll get them painted after it arrives by a Porsche approved shop.

Default Another GT4 RS build - now locked

Here is my build, now locked for production in June (European dilevery). I haven't seen many white (This is Carrara white metallic) and not usually a big fan but think it works well with all the black and carbonfiber contrasts. Note that the chronograph is specked in white but does not show on configurator.

918 seems to be a North America VIP program and not for Europe (where I will have my delivery).

considering doing something similar if I end up with a pts green. The blue interior seems to only work with blue exterior. Did you end up changing the door pulls to black?

Yes, black door pulls. Also did white gauge faces, race tex sun visors. Adding CXX bonnet (and rear wing) stripe as well.

FWIW, last week I got a call from Porsche Marin asking if I was still interested. The ask was a $50K ADM....plus a watch so really $60K because the watch is a joke.

Seems like they're already starting to come down.
