My dealer said it's not a numbered car. If you want one - give them an indication of interest, and it sounds like you will get it. He said watch out for the price though. Not a cheap car.

Overall , I like what I see in the pics and can't wait to see the official numbers on power , torque , weight etc . I wonder if they will carry forward the same four colors from the 997 - seems like they might be making a complete update of the older car including the interior . Not real crazy about the red interior , but I could live with it . One thing that strikes me as very odd is the rear lower fascia in black extending vertically instead of ending in a horizontal line - I think this will only look OK on a black car . I guess that's OK since to me black was the only wayto go on the 997 - along with black wheels .

Well judging from what I'm hearing the only thing stopping is the price. What about the colors? Are you stuck with the colors they offer?

Buy the watch first and then save up for the GT.

Am I correct in saying the 997 version was only offered in the 4 colors with none done in PTS ?

To my knowledge, yes. No 997.2 GT2 RS in PTS.

I'm hoping the 991.2 will come in a few more colors. I don't want to get it in Black, Red, White, or Silver.

Top of the food chain car. This should check all the boxes for the guys wanting BIG hp. Looks violent.

These threads are fun to read back and check the speculation.
Had the same going on the GT3RS..

I'm most curious about the frunk NACA and active aero.
Besides the front suspension and 2 turbo's that seems to be it.

Indeed. Me too.

I am still saddened that there are no air intakes in the wing itself, and instead it's in the same spot, right above the engine, as the 991.2 GT3.

Actually, there is at least one PTS 997 GT2 RS. It's Riviere Blue and (pure coincidence) I posted it last week.

I think you will find there is more than one PTS 997.2 GT2 RS....
