The second assumption is that the second batch RSs will indeed have the mandatory GPFs fitted along with some pretty extensive internal engine changes to counteract the GPFs...These changes could be the ITBs or something else entirely we haven't thought about..
Its very strange that nothing has been leaked from Porsche about the second batch WLTP qualifying RSs, which leads my conspiracy theorist brain into thinking that some substantial top secret changes have been made.

Not clear is it 50kg heavier than a Touring ?Not sure because pccb are standard in the Speedster not in the Touring,
so in reality is the Speedster 70kg heavier than a Touring with pccb?
What about of the aircon not standard in the Speedster? another 15kg?
thus 85kg heavier in total?

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
Isn't the body in white the same as the Cabrio??

So the Speedster with ADM is going to cost about the same as two GT3 Touring. Then a couple of years from now, it will be worth less than a 911R as the production numbers about about double. I think many 918 VIP's are going to pass on this car and ADM will come down significantly very quickly.

How cool is this first hand reporting, wow, supercool!
Stout, better than any car review out there
If you can clone yourself a couple or three times you could take over Youtube with 000.

Correct.Which means that with all other things being equal the real difference between the Touring and the Speedster rises from 50Kg to 65-70Kg...Coincidentally this is exactly the same as between the standard 991 Coupe and 991 Cabrio..Some clever marketing spin going on here methinks..!

As Pete Stout politely asked in the first post of this thread : PLEASE KEEP THE VALUE DISCUSSIONS ON THE OTHER 10 SPEEDSTER THREADS!
I come here to read about the car I could give a rat's behind what you think the car should cost or what it should be worth down the road!
Thanks.
