So I was promised arrival of the 718* at the dealership on the 15th of September but instead it arrived on the 18th of August. Hopefully, this time around since my 3RS will be completed on the 20th of July it should arrive at the dealership, all things being equal, on or before the date the 718 was (18 August).

*completed 24 July
I hope you're right. It may be that since Porsche and other German manufacturers are scrambling to get their cars to the US quicker, they may have arranged for earlier transport for the US cars. I know a pipe dream but must remain optimistic.

Sounds like a Gt3/RS to me. But then again, I have bypass on all my 3's.

Sounds pretty good to me! Quote from the youtube video write-up, "Set to make its public debut at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, the 991.2 GT3 RS might just be the last naturally aspirated GT3 model". Wonder if this is to be the last NA GT3-RS model......if true, certainly wouldn't hurt resale

Saw this red RS at FoS. It looked so good it had me questioning my LG. One of the best looking RS I have seen to date. IMO, the 5 best colours for this car are LG, GR, RY, MB and White. Darker colours and silver just don’t work for me on an RS.

My RS was in good company at FoS in the Performance Car Park. As far as I could see, it was the only 3 RS there. It got s lots of attention and thumbs up wherever I went. There were heaps of Lambos and Mclarens though.

RY looks equally good. Like a mad bumble bee on steroids.

@Chris3963, colour, as you well know is a very personal choice but to me your LG RS is better looking than the Guards.

Chris, I don't recall but did you own a .1RS? If so, notice any differences? If not, any comments on the .2RS?

Some nice shots.
Weirdly, it has the turbo/.1rs side intake on one side and the new one on the other.

WOW

I wonder if there are any reports of the 991.2 GT3-RS hp being measured on a dynno? As we all know, Porsche tends to be conservative with their reported specs. I read one source claiming the hp is closer to 530 +/- but don't have the link.

Guards Red on .2 is killer! Not as “hey look at
me” as Lizard but commanding presence. Congrats to all who have one on the way. My chalk 3 leaves Emden later this week.
