Submitted my RS build today. I also did not go with the WP. It is essentially a cosmetic package for $18k which is fine, but not for me...Especially without an exposed CF bonnet. I spent the money on PCCBs instead.

Same. Looks good on 2RS. Didn't tick box on mine either.

My mistake. It’s coupling rods and sways.

All i I am saying is that for $18k don’t just give us some exposed carbon and cf bits and tell us it is a performance enhancer when the weight savings are less than nominal and “recommend” it on the configurator. It should more honestly say “For increased PAG profit margin WP is recommended”.

If your are going to give me a “performance enhancing package” for $18k then give me the mg wheels, cf sways and con rods and Cup Rs if I can’t get the Ti rollbar in US .. oh and the little plaque thing on the dash😁

Here's mine with gold wheels with custom matching stripe... spec'd as a homage/tribute to the original 74 RS 3.0:




That looks amazing! Aurum wheels look nice with white, especially with that gold stripe!

thanks schunmd am lovin’ the how the gold highlights add a touch of contrast to the white and black. a few more pics... driving on our public roads feels like such a tease but on track the full 9000RPM rev range is an absolute symphony 🤤

nicely done, so far only 19 out of the 869 3RS built for N.A. have a MSRP under $200k.

Same shop as this guy who had a similar idea in the UK (he also did the wing decal in gold)

I went to see a car this afternoon to see what Lizard + Platinum wheels looks like as it is on my list of possible combinations.

I wasn't really feeling it to be honest, think black probably works better even though I don't like that it hides the details of the wheels.

In case anyone else is wondering...
