Thank you both for the informative details about this limited edition GT2RS. I and many here appreciate knowing more about this 991 limited run GT2RS.

If your interest is in the 70 special "Race qualified 991 GT2RS Models" from Porsche Motorsport, They will be sold as my 1995 993 GT2 Weissach model was through Porsche Motorsports.
These cars will not meet the Governmental requirements for Road Cars and the buyers will not be given the Manufacturers Statement of Origin required for registration.
You will also be required to sign a statement that you will NEVER EVER attempt to register them for road use, as I was required to sign - just in case some overly zealous
State employee attempts to register your car and overlooks the necessary conformance requirements. Of course, they would be great fun at HPDE's which the owners
would claim were all "Race Practice Laps" and likely elevate you to be the eternal "HPDE CHAMPION". Alternatively, Porsche would likely include those cars into a separate
GT Turbo PCA Race Class as they did the 993 GT2. With the additional HP comes additional stress on engine and chassis and more frequent rebuilding with more expensive
components and parts, likely an order of magnitude more than a Street GT3 and at least twice the cost of running the NA GT3 Race Car.

The GT2 "ClubSport" was never a road car. It was built as a race car and will be selling as a race car. You cannot and do not want to drive it on the street anyways. Porsche basically took a Cup car, swapped the street GT2RS' engine and gearbox in, add some extra aero bits and voila!
It's basically is a track day special. Not build to any race spec. It's a race car with street car engine/transmission, so the running cost is super low compared to race cars with race engines.

His asking price a classic example of a flipper ,and this is the first one to go on sale in the used car market down under ,,,we did see this happen with R for a short period of time and I do know of one that went for over a million during all that 911R hype
If I use The Porsche Australia configurator I come up with following based on what I can see in the For Sale advert
Base price of GT2 RS in Oz was $690
WP with Magnesium wheels was close to an additional $70K
Remaining options on that car would have been around another $30K
Fair to say he paid close to $790K ...or a little over based on the configurator
The Mark up of $250K is pretty poor form

It's actually the second one flipped on the open market (to my knowledge). This one here below is from another chap and was priced from memory @ $1,100,000 and was online for only a handful of days in early July.
