first on the list. Have a thread i started on rennlist explaining my whole process and no really hope its not the last NA. Im anti turbo. Even prefer supercharged instead. But some posts just make me jump straight to a sarcastic response |

I guess Giuseppe beat me to it. I'm #1 on the list at my local dealer and feel confident....why would they make 6000 .1RS (sorry Waxer) and limit the regular .2RS....only time they limited was with the 997 4.0, but even the regular 997 RS wasn't limited, was it? |

^ yes. they can make 10,000 RS and everyone will sell and most likely with a premium. i know many ppl who buy 3-4 RS at a time and one gent has 3 918. he was ordering 4th one but PAG said no,
i really dont care how many they make just leave one for me. |
That a boy Mooty, why be greedy. Make one for everyone Porsche.

^ u right i wrong
but the profit would be approx 400MM not billion and there are quite a few reason a company like PAG for forgoe 400MM |

now also non lux brands have learnt the lesson and they cook here n there limiteds |

I really like the look of the GT3 front bumper better than the GT2. This car will be stunning.

The issue with producing more cars is that porsche has their next gen 911 already designed, and testing...the race to produce the perfect number of 991.2 GT cars is on
|
^ thats' all good, whatever that magic number is. just remember to save me one!!!
|
High GT demand fill the gap left by unsold base turbos
|
has anyone tried to get a regular GT3 recently? Any luck......
|
Sorry

Was at my dealer this morning finalizing paperwork for my .2 GT3, which is arriving Monday, and he told me new RS.2 info. should be out in a few weeks. Just what he told me, but he has been right on everything thus far.

He is saying that he was told that the info will be available in a few weeks. I dont think he means he got any other info besides that
|
I'm expecting the GT3RS-2 will be a GT2RS Body, Suspension, Tires, Wheels and Aero with a normally aspirated 4.0 or 4.2 L Engine, PDK-S, and a $250K Base price.

I'm really fascinated by the details of the new RS. My 2016 RS has been without a doubt my favorite car I've ever owned. I get first dibs on all GT cars at my dealer, assuming they are not limited to only 918 folks, so would love to get this new one. I just got my 2018 GT3 manual, so far not too thrilled with it. only a few hundred miles to date, but it feels much less mechanical then then my previous 991.1 GT3 in my opinion, not as loud and raucous as everyone claims- i'm wondering if these folks are driving a GT car for the first time! I know I know, but if I had to choose between my RS and my new GT3 its a no brainer at this point. I need to give it some more time to do the break in to get on the motor a bit, then perhaps I can be more judgmental. However, before doing a bunch of upgrades on my GT3 I will wait a few weeks to hear this information on the new RS. Thanks for the update!
|
Fairly sure the gen2 will have rose joints, like the GT2RS. And Weissach pack. 4.0 NA has been reliably tested at 600hp by Porsche, so see no case for a 4.2.
Also hope they have dealt with the issues of wheels hitting the arches on undulating tracks. And PLEASE get rid of all the warning messages (oil, tyre pressure, belt, outside temp,...). They're making me really jittery. :-) |

I really liked my RS but the manual GT3 currently offers me the level of engagement that I love. Once the .2 RS is out I’ll also get it if an allocation comes my way. |

The RS is special for sure but I think it’s tough to compare these two. I state that primarily due to the subjective nature of what one expects from the driving experience one is looking for.

Agree that RS is special. After a year I still go into the garage just to stare it! The manual was the main draw for me to get the 991.2 GT3, otherwise I would have passed and waited for the next RS. In my opinion it really needs a bypass exhaust to spice up the sound. I was driving around town with my son yesterday and was shocked at how comfortable and quiet this car was compared to my RS and my prior GT3. its not as mechanical sounding as the previous 991 GT3. That car would start up make all sorts of noises, rattles and other sounds that were glorious, so I'm a bit surprised this new one is more quiet. However, I'm going to put on some miles this weekend and re-assess as the RPMs can start to elevate!

On track, I activate track mode on tire pressure, take som air out - drive a stint, take air out and then doing a new measurement for track mode, after that I have no issues with tire pressure warnings. But the best thing have been a button och central consol with "manual tire pressure".

I find the .2 more refined than the .1. But- if you have the Manual you are just too busy enjoying the Clutch and Shifter that you forget all the things and the noises that the .1 offered, which was a good thing because the PDK was putting me to sleep :) |

If you forget to do that then you are in relearning mode for quite a while. I don't use this feature any more. A very good idea but so poorly implemented. |
Apparently the oem tire of the car will be dunlop sportmax race 2 instead mpsc2

For the 991.2 GT3 RS we have to wait a little bit more |

A very good idea but so poorly implemented. miss because often you have a bunch of messages to “click away” so you really have to take your time to to that. but when the pressures fall below 26PSI you STILL get the low pressure warnings! Even in circuit mode. |

Good way to describe it. On my GT3.1, it made so many awesome raw rattles/grinds that people often asked "is your car ok?". That will not happen on the GT3.2. its definitely more refined.

Crunching actual numbers worldwide production is around 3000. Give or take. Only 1500 in U.S. |
I prefer less fake mechanical noises. I don’t like rattles and random noises. It reminds me of driving a 360 Modena and comparing it to a 458. The 360 always felt and sounded like it was going to fall apart. If I want more noise I’ll just throw on some dundon race headers or an IPE exhaust. That is real noise. Not just noise panels or an engine that literally blows up. Give me a .2 GT3 in manual over random noises any day. The engagement with a manual will surpass any random noises.
|
Dr: I think you may be confusing fake exhaust sound piped into the cabin with mechanical engine sounds. I know of no way mechanical sounds can be faked.
|
+1 for mechanical sounds. Hope the .2 gt3rs has more than the .1. My LFA you can literally hear every cog moving in every mechanical part as long as you are below 6000 rpm. After that the exhaust fully takes over until a gear change. Makes it feel special to me

I'm not in the 'noise camp'... sorry been racing cars all my life... I don't want to hear noises that shouldn't be there. Go drive a Nissan GTR if you want to heaar a noisy DCT...
I couldn't be happier with my new GT3 6spd, super responsive, solid and incredible 'communication' from the manual, to the wheel, and the rear wheels. Let's make sure the only noises are those you're supposed to hear, ie tires slipping out, engine revving etc... I don't need a noisy gearbox, or rear end whine. The 997's and older all have their places, but evolution must move forward... says the guy who purchased a new manual. :D Best Regards, Dave |

Cup cars definitely not RS as lack of rear air intakes on side of car. Can't wait to see the 991.2 GT3 RS soon.
|
Wow, just look at the size of that wing on the cup!!!
Just a random Q: why don't they use the indented "lightweight" Mg RS roof on the cup? Is that strictly a cost issue as one might expect the cup to get more banged up? |

Cup cars with survivor body work after 100 hrs <20%
|
Cup cars are based on RS, they now have wide body.
|
When a cup car gets a new tub, is there a VIN on the new tub?
|
This is what I believe happens, or happened - first time replacement shell gets same VIN, subsequent shells come blank or with some code.

Thanks guys. So do homologation rules prohibit swapping out parts like the roof? Why, when there are other mods?

Plus, the bodies get beat up over time and use - I believe what CJ was eluding to as well. Would be $$$ to replace Mag. roofs. |
The cars are weighed every weekend 2-3x
No reason to put cheater parts on...if you finish 10th just get more coaching. |
Sorry, I stand corrected. ( ref cup car based on GT3 , not the RS )
|
thanks for those answers! :thumbup:
|
So any actual update on the .2 GT3RS? Everyone says launch at Geneva? A few spy pics floating about with the additional ducts on the bonnet etc......but nothing much else confirmed???
My flights and accommodation are booked for Geneva now.... :) |
I think Geneve will be a different car not yet photo'd as widely with more of a dynamic launch planned for the RS...Goodwood, Rennsport etc.

I hope the new GT4 and .2RS are released together in March. That would make for a fun 2019. I am selfishly awaiting to hear of Porsche Motorsports's plans for their GT3 & GT4 competition cars. I think significant change is in the works. Off to find an MSRP allocation HA Cheers |

cleaning lady rumors...
Possibly the fourth cleaning lady ;)
The cleaning lady (unsure which one) says that there is a forthcoming GT3 RS "Touring" in the pipeline. People, you might want to get on the wait list for this beast, I am. There is even talk that you will be able to option rear seats with it. No information yet whether or not there will be a manual option but because it is a "Touring" it stands to reason that a manual will be offered, possibly at an additional 10K cost. Also heard that PTS will jump to 25K on this very special model because of the extra nooks and crannies on the body. Porsche decided to still call it a GT3 RS much to the chagrin of the purists begging the question "is it a real GT3 RS". Marketing research indicates that it's value will at a minimum, are you sitting down, TRIPLE in the first 6 months, killing the 911R value let alone the GT3 Touring. In a first, this model will not be offered to the Porsche VIP's. Porsche wants you, the "average" customer to be able to treat this car as a real investment. This will be the ultimate Porsche sleeper because it does not have a wing, no one will know what the hell it is, just another ordinary Porsche. For the first time in an RS, you will definitely fly under the radar with this inconspicuous de-winged Porsche. Unfortunately, there is no information as yet on how many of these beauties Porsche plans to build. Also, are you ready for this, a bulletin just received by a different cleaning lady, maybe the fifth, suggests that Porsche Dealers have agreed unanimously to scrap ADM, or according to AP, risk losing their franchise. Anyone else heard anything? (Sorry, I am after all Canadian, too much time on my hands this afternoon, still waiting for my GT3) |
Gt3rs with no wing? No ADM?............,,.. ...,,,,,;;Fake news :roflmao: |

LOL Martin, there's a lot of good-natured BS in my post...
Seriously, it will be very interesting to see what suggested retail prices will be on the option list for this car, in particular PTS. |

Seriously, it will be very interesting to see what suggested retail prices will be on the option list for this car, in particular PTS. |
Touring RS, i hope thats NOT true!! Anyone else heard about it too? |
It was a joke, buddy
|
IF there was a Touring RS offered....another stupid way to soften and dilute yet another iconic variant (i.e. GT3 Touring)

I trust the source. Maybe I got backwards: maybe he meant that he could configure it in February. Anyhow: I was surprised to hear of an allocation and tried to verify with my dealer but dealer went on an early weekend.

Heard the same thing from my cleaning lady.. Bookings now open and configuration will be available in less than 2 months.. weird.. |
What’s a “booking”? |

The "RS Touring" is going to have a wicked Ducktail to separate it, in appearance only, from the GT Model-line. It will be controversial, for certain.

Base MSRP above or below 200k ? A manual offering possible? Anyone in the know as the introduction draws near?
|
PDK only and MSRP just under $200k
|
Hope it doesn’t come with Weissach option because thats 35-40k extra :grr: |

My $$ is on 540HP...improved aero...N1 tires (or some newly developed N2 variant) and revised PDK-S mapping. I suspect AP will also wax poetically about upgrades to the engine that make it ‘more efficient’ with less friction. |

Isn't the reveal going to happen in March at the Geneva auto show in another 5-6 weeks?
|
Feb 6 is supposedly the date. Anyone get an allocation lined up yet? Trying to figure the market out. I have this stupid idea to buy one and swap the MT in my GT3 in it and the PDK into my touring. |
i guess: minimum 15% above .1GT3RS MSRP.

Assuming it'll be the same spec as the GT2RS, to me the Weissach cost is really worth it if we can get the darn titanium rollcage included for US-versions.... without it, I'd likely take a pass.
We'll see.... https://www.porsche.com/internationa...ssach-package/ https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...880174279f.jpg |

Do you have seen the car?
I would be very surprised if the offer no WP! Dont think the carbon fiber parts + Gt2 RS wheels are stock. speaks for WP imho. |
No TI cage or any other cage in the states for P. I've looked down every foxhole to find a way to get one here, no luck. I'm sure if you spend a crazy amount of $ there's always a way. I'm going without the WP on my 2RS for this reason. GMG came out with a cage that's looks very similar to the TI cage, I figure I'll just get that and have it painted a titanium color. :)

GT# RSR
We have all been talking about an upcoming .2 GT3 RS .... what about a much rawer more track-focused GT car an RSR. Porsche homologated one for racing in the FIA lemans series that is mid-engined should there be a Road version to be homologated for racing? would that be the last pure N/A special, like they did with the 997 4.0?

and when you build more than 2000 (991.1RS) you can swap the engine (race 991 RSR mid engine) |

991.2 GT3RS mist is lifting.
4.0 525 hp or so . will come also with Euro6c / particle filter after summer 2018. so we will look also forward to a bright 992 GT future if this is true. 991 Speedster will follow with the same engine. |
^ Can not wait to see what the Speedster is going to look like.
|
I already posted this on other threads but wanted to share my recent talk with my dealership (manager and sales associate) - Double the 2018 allocation of the GT2 RS - Almost certainly last NA - Geneva |

be sure as long we see a sport N/A engine with Euro6c - the race will go on.
for sure at Porsche and Ferrari. hopefully also ones again for McL. for the dealer (his bank account) there is no better phrase than: "last N/A".. |

.2 RS will be NA. Moving forward it will be very difficult. In September 2019, all cars will have to undergo Real Driving Emissions (RDE) tests. That will be game over for normally aspirated cars. Our only hope will be a hybrid NA engine. Huracan, Aventador, R8, 812, GT3, GT3RS will be the last of their kind.
RDE step 1 – applies to new type approvals from 1 September 2017 and to all new registrations from 1 September 2019.
September 2018 992 introduced. Spring 2019 992's deliveries. c2, c2s, c4, c4s Septmber 2019 Turbos introduced March 2020 GTS models intorduced September 2020 GT3 introduced GT3 production starts 2021 - Won't meet the deadline. |

Remeber when 997.2 911s went DFI, gt3/RS stuck with the old engine. Then 991.1 3/RS went DFI. Now 991.2 911s went turbo, while 3/RS are staying NA. See the similarities? I think 992 3/RS may join the rest of the 911 lineup as it happened with the last/current generation. |

Arethe rumours about the factory at Stuttgart shutdown from May with no petrol cars being produced for a few months actually true btw? I find that impossible to believe personally that Porsche would be willing to effectively scrap 3 months or so of 911 production. While they are a SUV company these days, the 30+k 911s sold per annum don't exactly hurt the bottom line at all especially at their profit margins.. |
Knowing that I have a 991.2 GT3RS "promised" in writing by my GM, it is going to be so awesome to stare at the beast in the garage and dreaming to drive it lol...

It may have something to do with the car being manual. These cars are designed for PDK and while I understand the emotional attraction of manual after driving with manual reality sets in. :icon107: |
I am in the same boat. I like my GT3MT but not as much as my RS or TT for that matter. If I get a .2 RS allocation then I will trade in my .1 RS. I need to see the configuration of the .2 first though. I don't know what I will do with the GT3MT yet. |

This is such fallacy and you got sold by AP. When they wanted to sell people on PDK on the .1 they claimed that the PDK was essential for the engine. What did you want them to say??? They said what they had to in order to sell the Product. Now- with the .2- you do not hear that same language coming out of Porsche any more. The Manual in the .2 is incredible. They certainly made it for this engine. It is quick, precise an the Rev-matching is programmed perfectly. Also - you do not even have to let off the gas when changing gears on the Manual. I am betting that the times between the Manual and PDK are much closer than you think
|
There is no human being born as of yet who can shift faster than a PDK. :burnout: You are absolutely correct that you'll not see in professional racing a manual transmission at least in this decade. The six speed manual transmission created by Porsche on the 911R is so delicious, by far the best, that it was handed down to the 991.2 GT3 and GT3 touring models, and who knows maybe some more Porsche models down the road. The manual transmission is all about fun and driver engagement. If milliseconds and seconds are important to you and you track a lot, then PDK is the only way to go. This is not to say you can't have fun with PDK as a daily driver, for I know the PDK on my 991 GT3RS is lightning quick. ;)
Drive safe, GT3RS-Fan1

|
I agree Porsche was really marketeering the pdk in the 991.1 GT3 but look what sales have done and look how good the car was at the same time. I call that a win-win. I believe they were being cheap at the time in not fully developing and certifying both cars but I think they didn't believe there was a market demand to justify the cost. But that was 5 years ago now and a lot has changed. The increased demand for more "puristic" driving and less concern with ultimate track and 0-60 times is perfect for manual car demand. I find it funny that this almost seems like it was planned. Build limited R with manual, then comes huge demand for manual and sell said manual as no cost option (win-win).
Right now for NA the build split is almost up to 54% manual. Did anyone at Porsche expect that even with the pent-up demand? I'll take a pdk RS and a manual GT3 touring please. |

Rule #1: Know your customer. Combination of Porsche dropping the ball and trying to get out cheap by only building PDK. Positive is they did something about it as opposed to a lot of other car companies that just put their head in the sand. Kudos to them. This happened at a time in which all manufacturers were shying away from MT. They then realized that there is still a strong demand for MT but rather than following a theoretical approach they released a limited edition manual car, the 911R. This gave them the real world demand. Porsche knew exactly what they were doing with the R. |
Yep ^ Room for both from here on out. They just need to decide on which cars get what. I have had both. Love them both equally for different reasons. I can go either way.
|
We all know there is a demand for manual cars but the question was is it an economically viable demand. Some people want yellow cars with red leather but I wouldn’t base my business on it. We know it’s viable now. Does Porsche know its clients? They don’t seem to understand the Cayman. The GT4 had huge demand that they didn’t anticipate. Now they have the 718. Are they trying to sink it? Porsche sent out some surveys a while ago. The last one was mostly about marketing but they should do more product surveys. |

Emissions and fuel economy are harder with the MT which explains a lot more than having an issue developing both PDK and MT at the same time. 55% manual blows away every estimate Porsche ever released although those were whole world as opposed to just the US/Canada and figure some of that is because 991.1 GT3 and GT3RS were PDK only. Nonetheless, the success hopefully means the next generation has a manual. |
Agree with all the statements; I just do not buy that the 991 GT3/RS engine was built to be coupled with PDK. They obviously built a manaul that works great and started with the "R".
Chevy is still putting Manuals in 600 HP plus cars. |

Looks like steel brakes ? also wing seems lil higher and further back compared to .1 RS and also different winglets |
looks cool, fairly similar to the .1
as this is the last hurrah for NA should be a cracking car. will be interesting to note where .1 prices land once these are in the wild. |
There's different-new front splitter.
Side intakes and front-vents are similar to GT2RS. Rear bumper are mix of GT3 and GT2RS... |
Naked prototype, one week to go till we see it. Pretty good consensus around specs but will be nice to see what we get. Hopefully enough of a bump to merit an upgrade.
|
Is it me or do the wing end plates look bigger than the .1RS?

this may/probably is a stupid question....but what are the chances there is a MT option? i am guessing close to zero but very hopeful given the success of the 911R and .2GT3. is it all but official that it will be PDK only?

Seems to have been 'confirmed' by several folks that raised this query with PAG officials during Daytona 24 this weekend |
that's what i figured. thanks for the info from daytona!
|
My cleaning ladies wouldn't give me much info, but the one thing they all said is PDK only.
|
think the tran. will be the last problem, seems to be veeeery limited and so tough to get one...in Italy number of allocations around 997 4.0 figures, don't know if representative of global allocations or due to any sort of penalization for our mkt
|
One dealer told me today that Sweden gets 15 units 991.2 GT3RS. (Could be right, could be wrong but I see it an indication that few will be built)
FWIW: Porsche tells their dealers (at least in Sweden) that the RS-cars are to be given out to people that actually uses the cars. They want to see the cars on track and in traffic - not in garages or on Mobile.de. I know that the last definitely is true - allocations has been withdrawn. Basically Porsche want these cars and their drivers to be ambassadors for the brand. |

However if the incremental changes improve the RS even more, there is simply no way to pass on getting one! decisions decisions |
Part of this hinges on whether I will even get an allocation for the .2RS. It's likely but not if my dealer only gets 2 or 3. We will see. |

In addition to an RS, I’ll buy my next Pano Turbo S and or fully loaded Cayenne Turbo from you. Yes, I’m giving myself a plug; getting desperate for an allocation. |

from a German forum:
German user which is currently in Levi/Finnland (Porsche Driving Experience) Walter Röhrl is here with us in Levi. tomorrow will be held a Press Event here in Levi. nobody tells us what will be presented. also the instructors "do not know anything". Top secret, we are told. For sure Walter introduces a GT-car. i do have beginning February in my mind for the configurator to go online. they need a green .2GT3RS already in the snow - because not so much changed compared to the .1GT3RS? ok for sure just the price will be: +15 till 20% in MSRP i guess. i know this was cheeky... i don´t get one. but i own at least (within today market already possible to say) the cheap .1 version of it. curious what will happen - and what they have changed at the .2. |

^ That is beyond horrid . After all the pics of the Mission E prototype we've seen for years hopefully there isn't a massive letdown when the production version is shown ; remember the Boxster showcar vs the production car ? The E is wild , but some of the spy shots of the production car only vaguely resemble it . Porsche is setting themselves up for failure if they don't deliver something close to the prototype .

Shame all the spy shots don't include the suicide doors. It basically looks like a Panamera with a different front bumper.

No turbos for GT cars is what he told me. NO manual in RS ever. I directly said "are you serious, 992 GT3 with 3.8 TT?" and he laughed and said not over my dead body. Conflicting info from what others reported. Maybe he meant RS. I also asked about a KERS boost on 992 RS and he also said no. No Formula 1 interest even in light of the continuing of the engine guys building the 2.2 liter twin turbo v-6. Also I asked about 960 in WEC. He said they are waiting on the next set of regulations but agreed the hypercar route for LMP! would attract a lot of manufacturers.

WP seems silly to me anyway. And dislike the interior graphics of it even though the performance and lightweight stuff is cool.

As a non-Porsche customer is there any chance of ordering a GT3 RS in the US [without a crazy markup]? I would assume not.

IF what above is true regarding the .2 RS; I see very few trading up their current .1 RS because I do not see that much of an upgrade. But- the ADMs will still be stupid because that is the market these days

No And in Europe it would be: No (We normally do not have markups but long waiting lists.) |

If it's only bold new graphics and 20 more hp. I will keep my .1 RS. Who can feel 20hp? I bet there is more variance among the manufactured engines than that. |
IF indeed 420hp from the same 4.0 as in the GT3.2 and obviously the aero upgrades, some less-weight benefits. and trim changes since it's an RS after all.... then I would have 2nd thoughts of trading back in my GT3.2 which is an already fantastic car for both street & track.

The key, if not biggest, advantage especially on the track would be the aero/downforce and lighter weight plus some more aggressive suspension components/tuning. That +20hp advantage all of a sudden escalates particularly on a higher-speed road course due to those factors. I'd get one at msrp from my dealer (due to a previous GT4 + GT3.2 at msrp from same dealer) but I think the major question is allocations.

Doesn`t the 991 GT3 RS.1 engine also produce 520HP at speed, because of the air induction?

Anybody that says "I'll pass on the .2 because it only has 25hp more" is a F-ing idiot. This car will take the same leap over the previous RS that the .2 GT3 did over it's predecessor. If it had literally the same HP as before, it would still be worth it. It's not just peak HP that was improved, it's the mid-range improvement, which doesn't show up in magazine stats. If you've driven a .2GT3, then you already know this car is bloody fast. |
991.2 GT3 RS seems to be a money saver for some - but I still want one!
As always with Porsche GT's it is not the numbers that count, it is the driving experience. |
I'm not sure why you wouldn't get the new one. New engine likely truly running to 9000 rpm this time, front hood/ducts from GT2, carbon roof?, 20 more hp. Everything will be slightly improved. And I'll be surprised if they don't have a special "one more thing" marketing talking point to get everyone excited. Lots of people complained the .1RS wasn't worth the premium over the GT3 until reviews started and people got to see the car. Then they were +100k.

here is a blown up image of the lizardgrun sample that kobalt posted. looking forward to seeing it on an actual car.

Just look at what Manthey created with a stiffer suspension platform, a bit more aero, and slightly stickier tires....this new RS will be a monster. Should run a sub 7 N-ring time.

RS to RS, only reason to trade if you’re not a bubble wrapper is reliability of new motor - new motor is in the Cup, old one didn’t make the cut. Beyond that everything else I can do better aftermarket. Diffuser can be added. Stiffer suspension can be added and frankly I’d go Ti springs for less unspring weight savings and aftermarket shock for better adjustability. Never had an issue with brake cooling so unless they’re introducing new calipers that make pad changes easier I don’t care. RWS recalibration? Meh. Serious trackers are binning the whole system and liking it better. The delta would allow you do stuff like the above plus lightweight exhaust and Mg wheels and still leave money in your pocket for consumables. That’s for real drovers. If you’re a wrapper or looking for street cred then of course latest is greatest. Oh, and last of the NA RS’s. There’s that.....maybe. |
I think I will join you guys and say that I am not planning to trade my .1 to .2 based on what we have heard of the specs for now. BUT wait until the lizard green pictures start coming and the hype comes from the reviews. ;)
I'm sure majority of us will be calling our dealers and offering our wives and kids for an allocation and I will be one of them most likely :thumbsup: |
Based on information so far not sure I'd give up a pts .1 for a non-pts .2. But that depends on the standard colors offered.
There must be a bigger hook on the .2 that's not revealed yet. |

I am still very interested in the .2GT3RS if I can get one at msrp and especially PTS. It will no doubt be faster then the .1 of that we can be certain. Doesn't detract from the fact the .1 is still epic and the fact the better move is always from RS to RS not RS to GT3 imho. An RS is an RS. Fact. |

If they don't make a fuss about anything there won't be any posts. Just be glad they are not talking about value. Yet. |
Based on the .2 PTS thread, green is the new blue or grey. Lots of green cars coming up, and Porsche noticed with Lizard, an updated Irish green...even the name is 'gotta have it'. lol
|
So if the RS is scheduled to,debut 2/6 , what is launched at Geneva ? |

yeah, this sample looks like a lighter irish green. personally, on the RS, i'd prefer gelbgrun, and on a more 'simple' targa or carrera i like the darker greens.

This is front splitter from new GT3 RS !?
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...e3d80cfacd.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...e9f55248a9.jpg Seems that it's too wide from the sides! https://www.autogespot.nl/porsche-99...ing/2018/02/01 |
Looks like the front splitter will be easy to retro fit to a .2 GT3 (Non RS).
A bit disappointed with just 20 more HP, not gonna lie. Best Regards, Dave |

It's always more than a sum of the parts. 20hp but with more torque, more overrev, maybe slightly different gearing could change the car significantly.
|
Not many opportunities to take out weight beyond what was done for the .1 RS that wouldn't be cost prohibitive. They'll emphasis things like aero and suspension tweaks and added midrange torque. Evolutionary stuff.

Incrementalism is SOP for Porsche. Good numbers for .1 RS owners, lol. Get a PTS .1 while they're cheap! ;)

I only upgrade when displacement is increased.

Didn't they just "improve" the 7 speed PDK in the .2 GT3?
Maybe similar fine tuning in suspension, clearance for the wheels, RWS, more down force front, better front brake cooling like the GT2RS and some new crap inside? |
I don’t think an 8 speed is likely until 992. I am guessing it will be mostly colors with the tweaks mentioned above. I really love green cars so maybe I will take a shot at getting one if ADMs are not too crazy. Hopefully not as it does not sound like any huge upgrades from .1. |

Not gonna lie. If it's just another 20 hp I'm disappointed. I was hoping for at least a 30 hp jump minium. If they put the increase at 40 hp that would be huge.
A 20 hp difference and some suspension upgrades and brake cooling can be accomplished aftermarket for much less. I can put GMG or Dundon headers on and easily blow past a 20 hp increase. GMG also makes suspension mods for the track. Hard to justify all the green going out for 20hp extra. I gues we will have to wait and see. |
But but but it's an RS

There will be a white, a yellow, a red, a blue, a black, a silver and perhaps a green. Some people will think it's just 4 colours with 3 shades of grey. Oh they might forget to paint some cars and leave just the primer on, which they called chalk. |
^ Is be pretty happy if that turns out to be true and all are accessible. Any idea or hint about what blue?
And love the chalk comment. |

On the street 20hp is just bench racing.
If you're in the market for an RS, the HP number isn't what makes the car, it's the total package. Expecting some huge HP leap within a model designation, 991.1 to 991.2 typically doesn't happens, it's the sum of the parts. Whether it's 20hp more, or 35hp more, the new RS will hand the old one it's azz. That you can count on. |

There will be a white, a yellow, a red, a blue, a black, a silver and perhaps a green. Some people will think it's just 4 colours with 3 shades of grey. Oh they might forget to paint some cars and leave just the primer on, which they called chalk. |

Rest of the world Delivery of GT2 RS
got to know something interesting. good news for the rest of the world not so good for US and European customers. apparently, the new GT2 RS has to be delivered and registered in these markets before the end of June of this year. PAG has not confirmed any orders to any of the dealers outside these markets tell date waiting to see how much they can produce and deliver to these market before they can confirm to the rest of the world. It seems that they would not be able to meet their targets to deliver those cars to those markets in time to meet the emissions regulations in those markets and as a result, the surplus cars will be directed to the rest of the world where these regulations are not yet in effect. It is expected very soon that PAG will inform the dealers for those markets to confirm their orders for the GT2 RS. and deliveries to those markets should start from late summer.

I am in on the .2 if 2 criteria are met....
1) I can even get one 2) The delta on a trade is my car (no lien) and $25-30K on similarly equipped car.... Given what we've seen with the .2 GT3 I'm not holding my breath..... |
If I can get one in "Salmon" again I'm in!!!!!

Not trying to start a fight or hurt anyone's feelings but zero chance. Exactly what happened to the 997.1RS, the .2RS was better in every way, but largely same thing. Of course the economic cycle will affect everything but If I look what else is out there, I think the GT3 is a solid bottom to lean on and the insane new RS prices will drag the last one up. Until the Market crash, they will go back up after an initial decline of about 6 months. Mine will hopefully stay with me forever, so I don't care. I just care what the new ones costs. |

Looks like I will not own my .2 3 for long since I have an allocation at msrp (guaranteed, please don't ask how, its just the way it is) from my dealer in which I have a VERY good relationship with. My end goal is to have an RS, so this .2 3RS will be the one I keep for a while.

997.2 RS last manual and Mezger RS. Perhaps next year more expensive than a 991.1 RS !? |

997.1rs has big adms when first introduced. Could buy 997.2rs for msrp all day long. And 7.1rs way under msrp during that time. But I think that this time the price increase of new cars is different. 997.1RS was 85K(MSRP $120K) in late 2010-11, after the .2RS came out @ MSRP $132K. By 2013 they were going up, sure along with the economy. This time the GT3RS is going to be a LOT more before ADM. Just like the .2 GT3 and GT2RS. My guessing is that the new 991.2GT3RS will be $194K. When the 991.1RS came out ADM was 75-100K over, so that may happen again, unless that -5000 happens. But even if you can get a .2RS at $200K, it makes the .1RS at MSRP if $175K already look good. I predict a dip for the year $175-$200 (Not mine) for .1RS supported by all those $150-$175K GT3's and $200-$300K .2RS. in 2019 production stops and the demand > supply. But what do I know, I bought Bitcoin, American Greed and Dirty Money are my self-schooling. |

What do I know but only classics keep going up.

Not trying to start a fight or hurt anyone's feelings but zero chance. If you don't think they will rise it's your opinion but look at the 458 Speciale that's selling above msrp and 430 Scuderia that's 100k off sticker. The last generation of the NA will hold and rise it's the RS way - PTS add even more don't take my word it's fine but history tends to repeat itself and the RS closes out the NA. When I ordered the Viper ACR everyone said they will be at 100k in 1 year - guess what they are at 200k. It's like good real estate they can't make more - it's the end of an era of which I am grabbing as many as possible and Porsche has way more customers than production it's the only brand I see with ADM GT cars with LE's selling for 2 - 3 times msrp there is not another brand that has this going on - ever! |

Sure this thread is almost derailed with this talk but I find it's what makes this place unique. I hope I'm not too far off that I read these "insults" in the same tone of voice I use when teasing my own close friends in real life. It's arguing which hair color is best...on supermodels.

a salmon is a salmon Porsche allows ADM raised PTS and may take it out. RSR engine pdk rpm or whatever it doesn't matter - impossible to get which could result in an R type market. I would buy a GT2RS .2RS but for 2RS will cost 175K adm - so while the .2 may be slightly better a massive premium on another version of the 991. Porsche can not supply enough RS period - add the slightest parts bin adjustment and their fans go crazy especially knowing it's the last NA. The 2RS is a turbo and there will be many of those to come yet it still has a 175K premium ...go fish. Ordered my daughter a RR - every V8 is sitting at port same happened with the Performante so who knows what will happen. |
There is 12 people on my dealer list, small country, small dealership. I can confirm the interest over this car. But it was obvious to my contact to all the prospect wouldnt buy the car. Lot of flippers and curious on the list i guess. When the specs will be out we will see... if it s not NA i will pass as i have the Gt2 on the way to home. He added me on the list and told me that is not worried i could get one during the year. Let s see nothing certain both my new cayenne and my gt2 has been delayed production by factory. It seems that even if PAG want to build unlimoted cars there is more demand (speculators +real clients) than what they can produce. At the moment im keeping my .1rs and see what happen next this will never be the last released model but this is a really really nice 911.

A buyer that can' t get a .2RS will get a Performante
or for half the price a .1GT3 warranted 10 years |

But, the "last of NA" theory is definitely the biggest hole in my opinion. I'll concede to that. |

How many GT3RS did you see on the dealer floor selling at MSRP let alone the ability to order one - that's the reality. Porsche wants their RS to be a special car sold to their special customers then you have dealers who want ADM - it's a bad time to want a special car from the Porsche factory. |

Bullseye. As a co-Viper owner, I certainly hope you get the Porsche you want. In as much as we all like the Porsche model we want to acquire, the downside of this is just as many others have stated, the demand will not outstrip the supply. Thus, buying the Porsches you want with a particular dealer establishes that "relationship." Why of course because you are a returning customer.

On a base 991 it’s not my fave. But, That being said, taste is subjective and not everyone likes all colors, but why do you have to be such crass elitists towards people who think otherwise? I Understand why Porsche drivers are considered pr**cks. That Skittles guy is a complete jag-off, FYI. Ok— now I’ll wait for him to write some witty condescending comment towards me now...Rennlist is so fun calling it salmon its a joke as calling a green GT3 a frog (btw frogs and eggplsnts owners are more prone to laugh than salmon ones,why???) If some one get offended instead laughing means they are weak personalities the point is .1RS will never be bound to .2RS forget it, is like saying a .1GT3 and .2GT3 are the same product a .2RS is a .2RS...:D |
Skittles owns a viper car, it's like a guy in a Vesace shirt sneering at others fashion choices. lol
All my cars are crayon colored so I throw no stones. |

All my cars are crayon colored so I throw no stones. First and last Dodge but the dealer took my order no deposit gave me the #9 out of 100 by far the best buying experience one could ever imagine. Colors are more fun - the Voo Doo has now made me look at cars colors completely different. I feel lucky to have a PTS RS :) |

While I do not care - it's the last NA engine .1 or .2
If you don't think they will rise it's your opinion but look at the 458 Speciale that's selling above msrp and 430 Scuderia that's 100k off sticker. The last generation of the NA will hold and rise it's the RS way - PTS add even more don't take my word it's fine but history tends to repeat itself and the RS closes out the NA. When I ordered the Viper ACR everyone said they will be at 100k in 1 year - guess what they are at 200k. It's like good real estate they can't make more - it's the end of an era of which I am grabbing as many as possible and Porsche has way more customers than production it's the only brand I see with ADM GT cars with LE's selling for 2 - 3 times msrp there is not another brand that has this going on - ever! The .2RS will be great and I am not biased to the Touring. I have never owned a 3RS, yet, so I can’t comment on the driving experience vs the Touring. Anyone know total production numbers of the .2 GT3 and how many Touring? Anyone painted the metal bracket of the .1 RS wing? Don’t like it in silver. |

Believe it or not, this is Lava Orange, another chameleon sensitive to light conditions. It's perfectly suited for the GT3 RS - and any other GT car. It's great to see all the variety and am glad Porsche opened the PTS gates a bit wider this time around.

You apparently see the fact that RS > GT3 as a perjorative and an insult of some sort. It's not. It's just the natural order of things and the way the Porsche community in large see it. I have said here that I believe the .2GT3 is a magnificent machine and a bloody awesome car. It certainly is. I was offered on at the dealers night at the NY auto show by my dealer before it openned to the public. I considered it but wasn't really interesed in an MT and the engine in the .1RS 4.0 has been and still is a great lump, proved to be dead reliable and epic in performance. So, going from my RS back to a GT3 was going backwards to me. Many auto makers offer an "up" model that offers increased performance, styling cues, intangible of title/designation not offered in lower model. E.g. F360 Challenge > F360; Scud > F430; Boss 302 > Mustang GT Track Pack; SV/Performante' > non SV/Performante'; GT350R > Track Pack; ZL1> 1LE. Even when the new "improved" base model comes out many prefer the older "up" model for the intangible aspects and/or styling cues. Many would likely choose a Scud over a standard 458. Many would choose an R over a newer improved "GT350 Track Pack" Some don't choose the "up" model for their own reasons. Those reasons are all that matter. Some like the non "up" model more for their own reasons. All legitimate as to them. As for the "salmon" color, they were available to anyone willing to pay approx. $100K over list for quite some time. PAG must love salomon too since it was the launch color for the .1RS. BTW the .1GT3 offered Lava as PTS and there are some in Lava. PAG plays the PTS game and we play along. Whether I spec'd my RS or purchased from dealer inventory is irrelevant. It was the car I wanted, fell in love and at the time comprable cars were $20K more and paid a very very good price at the time including a $7000 Xpel wrap which gives it that wonderful Salomon hue. My heart was beating a thousand miles an hour when the transporter showed up. You likely didn't notice but I have stated that Gelbgrun would be my first choice in color. So at least you know that with my poor taste in color green is at the top. If you are nice I will send you a complimentary Salomon RS coffee cup. I have some extras. |

I know a few people that have/had Lava Orange cars and it definitely never occurred to me to think of it as salmon. Salmon would be a bit pinkish. Lava Orange isn’t remotely salmon. Just my thoughts. I miss the GT2RS talk. Is there any way of saving this thread?? |

Salmon may come across as pejorative because when it was first coined here it was meant as a pejorative. Frog and Barney are mascots, never really recall them being used as a passive aggressive insult like see you above. Good on you for having one of each. I like my pumpkin but would trade for a frog. lol |

Variety is the spice in life. So color choice is more like what you want. "Want" factor is totally subjective. It is after all Porsches in different color tones. In as much as I like my salmon (Lava Orange), at times I like the burnt ends of the Bar-B-Que. Here is my Burnt ends in the middle of my snow white flakes. :cool:
Back on topic, I hope to see soon the color selection for the new 991.2 GT3RS. If frog is available I'd like to try frog next time. ;) Drve safe, GT3RS-Fan1 https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...baf66cda3a.png

Keeping with a civil tongue, you answered my question, you didn't spec your car. I and many put a value on specking a car v dealer inventory. I agree with you that a current RS is superior than a current GT3, however where we disagree is: the current GT3 is superior than the previous RS. PAG is always evolving, improving and tags aside, the current GT3 offers more than the previous RS. These cars are so close performance wise that the average driver can't extract anymore out of either of these cars. As far a specking a car from the factory, that's a special experience that you don't get from a dealer lot purchased.
We can argue all day on whether the "bit's and bobs" on the improvement list make the .2GT3 "superior" in a meaningful way as far as real world customer use, longevity, peformance and enjoyment beyond the marketing. As you yourself correctly noted performance is pretty much dead even with the RS with the RS on older spec MPSC's. Put the superior shoes on the RS my money is on the RS putting down faster lap times in light of better aero and wider track front and rear but in the end very few can push these cars to the limit anyway so it really all meaningless benchracing and Car's & Coffee bragging rights. Thankfully PAG is always improving their products. As a whole including intangibles RS is viewed as > than non RS just as GT3 is viewed as > than GTS by Porsche community. Doesn't make GT3 any less of a magnificent car. New ZR1 will likely smoke the 488. In fact it just laid down a better time at VIR than the new FGT which posted a 2:43. Most if given the choice will take the F car and the FGT. Its the intangibles in many minds. BTW the .1RS posted a 2:47 two years ago at VIR with a 150hp deficit to the FGT and on inferior tires compared to the new MPSC2 on the FGT. Pretty damn impressive that RS and at half the MSRP. Oh, I think they did it with a Salomon RS to boot! |

I was lucky and got a early allocation for my RS.1 and got to spec it. I got a .2GT3MT just to play with. I am looking forward to seeing the specs for the .2RS. BTW I almost ordered LO and chickened out and got GT silver. To each their own. |

Heard that release of GT3 RS details has possibly been delayed until late February due to homolation issues. |
^ No! Thanks for the heads up. Any details on what is causing the issue? Particulate filter?

Particulate filters are terrible on diesels. How do they work on gasoline engines? |
Are there any gas engine US cars currently running with particulate filters?

It is going to be crazy because I would imagine that it would operate similar to those on diesels, so works off of the computer and sensors to let it know when to go into regen to burn off the materials from the particulate filter, definitely going to add weight and might be a nightmare for those that use aftermarket exhausts. The turbo engine route sounds so much better now. |

Just speculation, but MY19 .2 GT3 will have new filter and slightly revised pricing. Cutover is just later than normal due to no need for the 6c compliance until after Sept. Every single car VW, Audi and Porsche produces needs the compliant filtration so been well planned for.

Maybe the filter can just be removed. |
The guys attending the Levi event either got allocations to keep quite or suddenly went through the ice on the lake.. Fellas in Levi, stop drinking Koskenkorva and leek at least something :corn:

You know, I'm just going to assume that the info about the cars comes out right before the Geneva car show in March.

Hello fellow Rennlisters,
just my little contribution to try and get back on topic ... My Porsche Center here in Switzerland tells me the following: Allocation they got for GT3 RS MK1: 33 Allocation they have received from AMAG for GT3 RS MK2: 6 (six) Allocation they got confirmed for GT2 RS : 8 plus potentially another 2 if production will be extended. Just a few data points for your evaluation. Cheers |

Maybe, but I'm guessing it will be an active system, if so then the ecu would require a tune to clear any cel's and compensate for the missing filter. These particulate filters have to clean themselves somehow to last, on diesels they go into regen and the filter heats up tp 1500 degrees +-(through the computer and the fuel delivery) to burn the soot/particles off of the filter, so if this is the case it would all be done through the computer/sensors. So by removing the filter and then re-tuning, warranty issues come into play. This could be a real mess. Maybe they will go with a passive system requiring the particulate filter to be cleaned at oil change cycles at the dealership.
I am wondering why they couldn't add a second set of Cat's instead to meet emission requirements. Thanks VW Well based on those allocation numbers I may be stuck with my “salmon”. |
Whatever the number of US cars made the first time around and how hard it was to get an allocation I know I was #5 on my dealers list for a good year and a half before I got my car and it was the last one they got . I'm not sure how many others were on the waiting list behind me when I got it , but the sales manager just told me he has 13 on the list for the .2 RS . Seems like more guys will come up short this time than last time .

.2 appears late to compliance.
McLaren was first Ferrari followed while Porsche is late to the table add 918 insiders are silent pups. |

Bullseye. As a co-Viper owner, I certainly hope you get the Porsche you want. In as much as we all like the Porsche model we want to acquire, the downside of this is just as many others have stated, the demand will not outstrip the supply. Thus, buying the Porsches you want with a particular dealer establishes that "relationship." Why of course because you are a returning customer.
Drive safe, GT3RS-Fan1 |

^I believe loaded up nicely it will be around $250,000

Yikes heavy price tag |
Yikes .....a loaded RS now is about 210k ......don’t see a 30k increase. |
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...566d6aa3f0.png MSRP for a ‘16RS was 175,900. The 2014 GT3 was 130,400. The 2018 GT3 is $143,600. So 10% 2018RS should be about $195,000 and like the GT3 have more standard stuff. |
Makes sense my UV was 208k PCCB, buckets and a full leather, lift, LED’s pushed it up. |
Just under $200k base is my prediction. RL always gets so carried away with forecasts, despite Porsche being very predictable historically.

i saw with my eyes the allocations until Aug.2018 at a dealer.
approx. same amount as GT2RS allocations. i heared it too - that it will come with the particulate filter after the factroy shutdown. but never saw something with my own eyes or heard it with my ears from a reliable source - also i don´t know anybody with a allocation within EU after Aug.2018. my feeling says it will come as Chris and 928 say. but till now i couldn´t prove it. if they want to stay NA with 992 - they need to bring the/a 4.0 or also 4.xl engine to Euro6c. the filter will eat a couple of horses - i guess around 5%. those 20hp i guess are not that easy to find... but for sure they could it with a 4.2l... :) |
