Image of the carbon asb's and drop links. Too sexy to hide underneath. I'd avoid the gravel traps w/this option. But no doubt Porsche has that thought through.
You read it correctly. First set of bold print done this week. This Saturday we get calls for the allocation. Good luck if you are getting one.

And the pricey badge.
That really is a beautiful piece! Are we really at the point where these sorts of extraordinary efforts are required to drop a few ounces/pounds/kg? I would think there have to be some other easier opportunities somewhere else (besides this example and 1 pound from the Magnesium roof, etc.).
At least the Mag wheels offer some serious weight loss...
Just got the call from my dealer. 1 slot available, looking for $100,000 over sticker. To me this seems crazy. Lightly optioned this car will run $300k out the door. Is this consistent with what others are seeing? Need to give an answer quickly, so any viewpoints are appreciated!
I predict a ton of these cars will be specd the same (Lizard / Lizard), so just wait a year or two and pick it up with barely over break-in miles for MSRP or less.
The total weight gain in the US is 17.6Kg not 23.7Kg. You've doubled the 6.1Kg saving as the breakdown which includes the roof,sway bars etc is the 6.1Kg..
It's no cage for US, yes? The cage weighs something...
Not sure how many rounds, that's typically between dealer and Porsche. This week is for sure round-1. Also For US, if your GT3RS is to arrive this year 2018, I was told there will be no "Particulate Filter." 2019 deliveries will be different. So if you want your GT3RS with no "Particulate Filter" tell your SA to move your slot fast if not faster.

Not sure what you mean by auctioning. I do know many dealers are tagging on ADM. In fact I just got a call from a dealer and asked me if I want an incoming 991.2 GT3 (Not even a 2RS or 3RS), and he wants $35K ADM. I said, good luck on the sale, just to be polite.
The regular buyers and VIP guys I am sure their names are already on the dealer list (VIP (First), Preferred (multiple buyer), Regular (Cherry Picking and walk-ins)) to be submitted and eventually get a commission number (complete with V status). Hope this helps.

Appears dealers are auctioning 2RS and 3RS this week which one would think they would order and hold - maybe Porsche is requesting names.

The total weight saving for a WP RS versus a standard RS in the US is 17.6Kg which comprises the 6.1Kg on the carbon bits and bobs and the 11.5Kg for the magnesium rims.
This is exactly the same as a Euro spec RS without the clubsport pack..If however you compare both clubsport versions then the titanium cage saves a further 11Kg over thr standard steel cage giving a total saving of nearly 29Kg for Euro RS's.
I realise the the WP is much better value in Europe compared to the US if you've picked the clubsport pack..In fact if i was in the US i would never consider the WP but as i reside in the UK i'm seriously considering it..

thanks! i have had a deposit down for almost 2 years with the dealer that has sold me my last 3 porsches. i am number one on their list and have been told i should expect an allocation.
I signed a contract this morning - was told that they are only taking orders for may-july builds. Also said forget PTS. They said that last bit a few times.
I got the following information from my dealer (don't know if it's already posted, didn't feel like going through all the comments)
WP only available in cars produced starting 06/2018 (not really news)
WP magnesium wheels available starting 02/2019
PTS is available from the start and costs around 11k euro in Europe
No allocations have been given to the dealers yet
I'm in the UK and submitted my spec to my OPC 8.30 this morning..Many thanks for the info above; the three latter points are news to me and probably most others on here..Do you know if all this is relevant to the UK or just mainland Europe.
I'm either going for an all out Lizard non WP or a standard flat colour (guards red maybe) with the full WP..If i get an early allocation i will get the Lizard..If i get a later allocation then i'm going to have some sleepless nights ahead..
Congrats! Usually I wait a little bit to get the configurator complete for options. For example on 991.1 GT3RS the Purple color was not immediately available in the configurator so I went with the launch color Lava Orange (no regrets as I love the salmon anyways).
Since I learned the 2018 GT3RS USA deliveries will not contain the "Particulate Filter", as soon as the allocation is handed out, I will spec my car. 2019 USA deliveries from my understanding have the potential to have the "Particulate Filters" due to Euro-6 regulations.
