Default Will .2 GT3 RS be easier to obtain?

991.1 GT3 2013-2016 3,799 475 349 468 3,152.6 1430 (DIN) 3500 3.5s
991.1 GT3 RS 2016-2017 3,996 500 368 493 3,130.6 1420 (DIN) 6500

Wiki shows that 3500 GT3 built and 6500 GT3 RS built. Do I have more hope for GT3 RS?

I think it will be really hard to get a .2 RS, for many reasons. Limited supply, possible 9K engine, other improvements, etc. It will be at least as hard.

What I've read is that the upcoming .2 GT3 RS will be produced only from March 2018 through end of 2018.

With short production time frame and constrained production capacity (all three GT cars, GT3, GT3RS and GT2RS are all being assembled at the same time), the number of GT3-RS produced is going to be very low.

Unless somehow PAG extent the production into 2019, the 4.2 GT3 RS will be like the 991R situation all over again.

It will be easier to obtain... If you have a .2 GT3 to trade!

Easier to obtain if you own a dealership or bought a 918 from Porsche

There is no way there are 6500 GT3RS worldwide. Wiki provides no source to support their figures . The actual number is 3500 to 4000 worldwide with only about 1500 in US.

if you want to see what a car produced in numbers approaching 6500 looks like on cars for sale.com look at the GT 350s. There are approximately 1000 for sale. There are only 68 GT3RS for sale on cars for sale.com

If you want to buy a Mac the cost of ownership will be much steeper than buying a GT3RS except for a P1.

Good point, Wikipedia must be wrong because:

We all, at RL at least, know that this story of overpriced cars will soon end very very badly
just look how it went for the R even before the first .2GT3 manual delivery

go figure the RS...

ppl that buy 1 or 2 models keeping those 10 yrs convinced its an investment
without any money (or interest...) to buy anythingelse
are not good customers
for a mass producer as porsche

Porsche is loudly and clearly doing EVERYTHING to convince anyone
you have to buy-drive-sell-buynewone-drive-sell your GT

and the ONLY way is to devalate your car sir (otherwise you won t buy their newest one...)

Sorry, didn't mean to be a jerk. But reading thousands of posts for months from people desperate to get a .2 GT3, I think the odds of getting a .2 RS are pretty slim. I don't think they will make too many of them, either.

1. There are many other primary sources that the earth is not flat. Well established as demonstrable fact. I think this goes back to Christopher Colombias if we can still speak his name.

2. Not sure what your next point was. Not important. Likely no more persuasive than the first.

Finally, you would be the last to get my allocation here. No, actually I would take it myself just to make sure you didn't get it based on your behavior since you last came to me for info and in general.

Btw: PAG always stops production at nice round numbers like "6500" Lol

Getting a .2RS will be harder than getting a .2GT3 and ADMs will be 2-4x higher is my guess.

IMHO, the GT3.1 RS will not be an investment. As soon as the .2 RS comes out, prices will really tumble. Just look at 997.1 GT3 RS prices (at least in Europe) compared to 997.2 prices. 60-80,000 euro difference! That's a lot.

Indeed, I expect it to be even worse with the 991.1 considering they made a boatload of them (in relative terms).

Across Europe and the UK now, there are over 200 991 GT3.1 RSs for sale with prices already starting to fall. Used car buyers are going to be able to pick and choose. It will be a buyers market, not a sellers.
