funny. Wondered if you were French as you were trying so hard to make the case for French becoming the Lingua Franca again.

Just continuing the linguistics ot, even if US is nuclear blasted and becomes a post apocaliptic piece of land, it will just continue to be the standard language for international relations, it's simple enough for anyone to learn, as already the biggest/largest lexicon in every area from business, tech, medical, etc. It just makes sense, more than french, that by the way of all the european languages, one of the worst options. Spanish would be much better or even german, or better yet get latin out of the dusty basement, neutral language and already 'familiar' to most of EU countries.

Thank you for posting.

WOW, magnesium wheels out of stock due to high demand from the GT2RS orders. Wouldn't be available until end of this year? For USA if you wait for these magnesium wheels, unless you get lucky and get the last few deliveries of calendar year 2018, calendar year 2019 deliveries may have the particulate filter if the new regulations come into play.

Drive safe,

Isn’t the word that the mag wheels are an accessory.

When I configured mine at the dealer, the magnesium wheels were part of the "Weissach Package." However, the magnesium wheels can be ordered separately as an accessory.

Yes I noticed that. I am taking that as encouraging sign that they will continue to make 3RS into next year.

Agree. Even though I think it’s kaput for the 991.2 GT3 after this calendar year, and the .2 GT3 production numbers will be noticeablely less than the .1 GT3, I think Porsche will make a lot of .2 RS between now and the end of 2019 to make up the overall GT car numbers.

Besides, profit margin is higher on the RS vs GT3, I expect.

English is an efficient language, it doesn't conjugate verbs, tenses are simple, it can be infantilized easily. Mandarin with its tones is almost unlearnable for most adults, you can take mandarin classes for a year and people still don't know what you're saying.

english can be conversational within a month and withstands accents, and errors of all kinds.. the consonant-based emphasis and loose rules around vowels make it the most forgiving of all languages to learn and use. English will be here until the end of civilization, it's the internet, we've homogenized irreparably.

Fxz, non l'avrei mai detto che sei Italiano.

completely agree.

English is easy and quick to learn on a conversational level, although it still takes significant effort to completely master English as a second language.

Mandarin is like learning an alien language by comparison, and very few people can become able to properly speak mandarin who don’t learn it as children.

Mandarin will never be the Lingua Franca.

According to a reliable source on Rennteam, the RS will be produced through July 2019 without the particulate filter.

He may have been referring to US production.

This is correct. The first batch of cars will be built from April thru to June without particulate filter. Most will be for Europe.

I spoke to my UK based OPC today and he confirmed they had only three rushed RS allocations and no WP available..They have no news on whether or not that there will be a second run later in the year..I'm hoping to get one then as i want the WP for the Ti cage and Mag wheels..I'm keeping everything crossed yet as i'm optimistic that there will be a second and possibly third run well into 2019.
