My build came out to $210,115. My PTS color would be Riviera Blue (when you select PTS on configurator, it renders in this green) and I would add CXX Pepita inserts to the LWBS and change the top of the center arm rest to Pepita just like on my current Spyder so that would add about another $10k to price. If I had a go at this, I might even ask about doing the door cards in CXX to remove the Race-Tex along the lower part of the door/arm rest and making it leather and adding leather to the parts that are plastic on my Spyder on the door.
It's always fun to mess around on the configurator and dream.
I was perfectly happy with my GT4 until the official reveal of the GT4RS. Even with just a PDK option, I really like what they've done and although I can see how some folks don't like the WP, for me the WP is what makes the car compelling. So much so I decided to get on a dealer list and would trade-in my 6MT GT4.
I think our luxury tax is worse than paying ADM. Guys in BC get hammered at the provincial and federal levels.
Let's play the "My Taxes are bigger than yours" game. A stripper spec GT4 RS in Australia STARTS at $326k AU. The Aussie dollar is basically at parity with Canada. And is the equivalent of about $245k US.
My ideal build comes in at $414k AU. If I was serious about getting one I would be really torn on the wheels tho, I think the standard wheels are ugly, but the magnesium ones are a downright price gouge. I'd probably opt for the standard wheels and replace them with some BBS FI-R's. http://www.porsche-code.com/PN9AEPW8
The more I play with this configurator, the happier I am with how great the value of a standard GT4 really is.
As viewed through that prism @Reedy , these US ADMs $50K-$100K almost seem like a deal.
Without the Weissach Package, I'm about $35K more than my 2020 GT4. With the added power and aero alone in the RS, almost seems like a steal if you can get for close to MSRP.
seems like the WP is really just exposed carbon vs painted and the slightly different intake shape.
Looking at the clubsport, it uses these "stock" parts, not much difference with the intakes.
Then comes down to, do you want the exposed hood, exposed wing, and the "mouse hair" dash
Overall I prefer the non-Weissach package look as well...but that carbon fiber intake box right behind your head is mega! Wish you could just spec that part alone.

Same! That's exactly what I'd prefer. Let me just spec the air box. I prefer non WP for everything else.
Also wish there was an option to get gloss carbon interior (like the GT3). There's currently no way to make your carbon match between the gloss seats and the matte interior trim.

I can't imagine the db level of this car with that option. The standard GT4 is loud enough in the cabin, this thing is going to be ringing your ears after an hour or so. Definitely takes it out of daily driver duty.
My GT4 will be my only and daily car, I think it will work well for that, the GT4 RS is definitely a second, weekend car only.

My God. Those eye watering rates. I always knew about Australia's luxury car tax, I didn't learn until today that Canada had one. But I've never actually done a breakdown of Australia's in the sense of pricing out a car.

Canada doesn't have one - yet. BC has one and it is almost inevitable that there will be a federal one soon. However, even with taxes, Canadian cars are probably the "cheapest" Porsches on earth, Everyone likes to complain.
