Default Any other 2019 GT3 Tourings titled as GT3 RS?

My12/2018 production date Touring arrived as a 2019 model in USA and I took delivery on Valentines Day's. Prior to arrival, I had bought insurance and experienced that my agent decoded the car's VIN to be a GT3 RS and prices were $50/month higher than a 2018 GT3 Touring.

I imagined that Porsche had allocated certain VIN ranges to GT3 RS and perhaps a last minute production change swapped these for the Touring to use? My insurance agent said it would probably get sorted out next year with an update.

The title just arrived and my GT3 Touring is listed as a GT3 RS so now I'm worried. Anybody else have their 2019 Touring listed as a GT3 RS?

Yes and if you take a VIN from a 2018 Touring, the prices will be different as 2018 breaks GT3, Touring and GT3 RS into different categories.

Porsche must have the VIN labled as a RS...

When I type VIN into other websites eg: https://driving-tests.org/vin-decoder/ it also shows as a GT3 RS...

I guess I can say I own a Factory WINGLESS GT3 RS Touring!!!!

The smog station scanned the Touring vin but shows up GT3RS. Can't manually change that in the system.

My 2019 Touring says "911 GT3 RS" on my Nevada vehicle registration.

Well, I guess that after all, an "RS is (not necessarily) an RS." My 2019 Touring is also listed as an "RS" according to my VIN.

So funny thing is when my RS came in last week I added it to my StateFarm account and they list it as a GT3. When I asked my agent why, they stated it pulls the data from the VIN. They had no idea why it did not list as RS.

RS vins are 164xxx to 165xxx. What are your touring vins that show as an RS?
