Only a couple of weeks to go before collection in Stuttgart. Will head to the Ring on the 7th and 8th Aug and then a couple of weeks touring Europe to run it in.

Not sure what would be the vetting process to acquire one of these, and if this is only released in Europe as with other limited Porsche models in the past.

Drive safe,

As of right now, it comes with a mandatory driving course per our suggestions when we were at Weissach.

I believe the car will be sold through Weissach direct, so they have a better grip on who is buying one.

I already have one on order.

you sir. have always good infos! so the GT2RSCup will get another front?

from wiki:Flatnose (Slantnose 930S)


930 SlantnoseIn the late 1970s, Porsche tuners such as Ruf and Kremer (and others) began modifying customer cars with the “slant nose” front ends popularized by the factory racing 935s. Not a company to miss an obvious opportunity, in 1981 Porsche announced its own special-order slant nose front-end treatment. Originally available only in Europe, the 930S was then included as part of Porsche’s 1985 program to make its full range of cars and accessories available worldwide.

Porsche offered a "Flachbau" ("flatnose" or "slantnose") 930 under the "Sonderwunschprogramm" (special order program) beginning in 1981, an otherwise normal 930 with a 935-style slantnose instead of the normal 911 front end with the replacement of the famous "bug eye" headlamps with flip up units. Each Flachbau unit was handcrafted by remodeling the front fenders (option code M505). So a limited number of units were produced due to the fact that the package commanded a high premium price, and an initial premium of up to 60 per cent (highly individualized cars even more) over the standard price. 948 units were built in total. The Flachbau units delivered in Europe usually featured the 335 PS (246 kW; 330 hp) performance kit. The flat nose greatly contributed to the aerodynamics of the car and enabled it to accelerate from 0–60 mph in 4.6 seconds and attain a top speed of 173 mph (278 km/h).



or more precise infos in German:911 Turbo 3.3 Flachbau Typ 930 (1981–1989)


Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3 FlachbauAnfang der 1980er Jahre waren Umbauten am 930, mit denen er die Frontoptik des Rennwagens Porsche 935 erhielt, besonders in den USA sehr beliebt. Porsche bot daher ab 1981 eine Flachbau-Umrüstung für die Turbo-Modelle an. Dieser Umbau war nicht als zusätzliche Ausstattung ab Werk lieferbar, sondern wurde über das Sonderwunschprogramm nachträglich in der Porsche-Reparaturabteilung in Handarbeit durchgeführt.BestellcodeFlachbau-AusstattungsoptionenSOW 010Flachbau mit Klappscheinwerfer und GFK Bugspoiler mit Mittelölkühler für 911 Turbo und alle 911 Turbolook-VariantenSOW 011Einstiegsverkleidung (Seitenschwellerverkleidung) links und rechtsSOW 012Lufteinlassschächte an den hinteren KotflügelnSOW 013Radhausentlüftungen an den vorderen Kotflügeln (nur in Verbindung mit Umbauarbeiten auf Flachbauausführung)Der Umbau bestand aus verschiedenen Elementen, die einzeln bestellt werden mussten. Der vollständige Flachbau-Umbau umfasste die eigentliche flache Wagenfront in 935-Optik mit den in den Kotflügeln eingelassenen Klappscheinwerfern und den in der Bugschürze mittig platzierten Motorölkühler, den Radhausentlüftungen in den vorderen Kotflügeln, den Seitenschwellerverkleidungen und den Lufteinlassöffnungen an den hinteren Kotflügeln.[30]Anfänglich wurde neben der Wagenfront mit den Klappscheinwerfern auch eine Version angeboten, bei der die Scheinwerfer in dem Bugspoiler integriert waren. In dieser Ausführung stellte die Reparaturabteilung nur 58 Exemplare her.[41] Von den Umbauten mit Klappscheinwerfern in den Kotflügeln entstanden 204 Fahrzeuge in nachträglicher Handarbeit. Ab 1984 gehörte der Flachbau zur Sonderausstattungsliste. Der Turbo-Flachbau wurde so direkt ab Werk in der regulären Produktion hergestellt, insgesamt 686 Fahrzeuge in Serie innerhalb des Porsche Exclusive Programms.[41] Die Umbaukosten beliefen sich je nach Umfang des Umbaus 1985 auf bis zu 27.500 DM. Kombinierten Käufer den Turbo-Flachbau mit einer Leistungssteigerung ab Werk, konnte sich der Kaufpreis des 3,3-Liter-Turbo nahezu verdoppeln.[30]

Da die Umbaukomponenten einzeln auch ohne die flache Front erhältlich waren, wurden viele Fahrzeuge teilweise nur mit den Lufteinlassöffnungen an den hinteren Kotflügeln ohne weitere Karosserieveränderungen bestellt.
