You've been very accurate about GT cars in the past so i'm going to ask you the six-million dollar question..After the end of the first batch builds in June, how certain are you that in the following batches later in the year that these RSs will have this new Particulate filter fitted ?
If this filter is fitted then its probably a safe bet that there will be a bigger allocation of RSs to the UK later in the year.

No problem. Yeah, the seat inserts look good. The black circles are holes to a black layer undeneath.

Once that starst production, they can again start building 991 GT cars (inc the GTS) alonside the 992.

Are the fender vents larger than the .1GT3RS? They look like they are.

The vents stick up more for sure. The holes themselves looked the same size to me.

Heard they were also... can anyone confirm?
Hard to tell.... those golfclub-shaped holes looks almost the same but deceiving since the actual vanes stick out now.

Ride height on the show car looked fairly low, but they improved the tyre clearance at the rear.

Yeah I watched/listened to his video... and he says larger. But does that mean the hole? or due to re-engineered ducts/venting/airflow while still using the same fender hole?

I doubt they went to the trouble (i.e. cost) of redesigning the front fenders. It looks like they had the GT2 vent slats produced in plastic rather than carbon fibre.

Interesting that they lightened (i.e. cheapened) the rear carpet area. I still think they should remove all the carpet and charge even more.

I hope those wider side sills fit on the .1RS. I don't see why they shouldn't.
