This is correct. The first batch of cars will be built from April thru to June without particulate filter. Most will be for Europe.
You've been very accurate about GT cars in the past so i'm going to ask you the six-million dollar question..After the end of the first batch builds in June, how certain are you that in the following batches later in the year that these RSs will have this new Particulate filter fitted ?
If this filter is fitted then its probably a safe bet that there will be a bigger allocation of RSs to the UK later in the year.
amazing pics, thanks for posting. the wheels look amazing with the green striping and imprinted GT3 RS logo. cant wait until my allocation is confirmed, will get that exact spec

i am not 100% certain on this, but all 2nd batch cars will be equipped with the particulate filter. Batch 1 runs until July but Bacth 2 will not resume until very late in the year or maybe even not until early 2019.... because they have to shut the line down for an extend period to set up for the 992. Once that starst production, they can again start building 991 GT cars (inc the GTS) alonside the 992.
Are the fender vents larger than the .1GT3RS? They look like they are.
Heard they were also... can anyone confirm?
Hard to tell.... those golfclub-shaped holes looks almost the same but deceiving since the actual vanes stick out now.
^^ it's confirmed. see the video interview with AP posted yesterday
Yeah I watched/listened to his video... and he says larger. But does that mean the hole? or due to re-engineered ducts/venting/airflow while still using the same fender hole?
I doubt they went to the trouble (i.e. cost) of redesigning the front fenders. It looks like they had the GT2 vent slats produced in plastic rather than carbon fibre.
Interesting that they lightened (i.e. cheapened) the rear carpet area. I still think they should remove all the carpet and charge even more.
I hope those wider side sills fit on the .1RS. I don't see why they shouldn't.
