RS.

Wing looks cooler if you are buying for PP+E
Wing works better if you track

not yet, maybe one third. A lot of late allocations are touring options it seems, but touring wasn’t available on early allocations.

i must stress again these are not collectibles- none are rare enough to hold and not drive. They will both depreciate, so buy to drive them as intended.

Should have mentioned I would not be tracking either car.

RS is CPO'd. Given that, is there anything other than an over - rev report I should be asking for?

You can’t overrev a PDK. You might get some range 1 or 2 but no harm no foul.

You must not be reading my answers so I will be as clear as possible- neither are rare, both will appreciate normally. You will pay a small premium now and it may carry a small premium later but it will still depreciate the same as a non PTS car. And it will depreciate, too many were/ are built for that not to happen.

If if you buy an unusual color that is unpopular then depreciation will be worse than normal...

Seriously, I think you are on a fools mission-

Not to turn this into a value thread, but just in terms of relative rarity PTS is the same for both. Two completely different applications they address, if your last car was tracked pretty frequently then RS if that’s still your plan. If it’s to collect them, neither will be a near term collectible despite PTS.

Edit- roughly 8-9% of RS .1 are PTS, about the same % as .2 GT3’s to clarify my point.
a PTS Touring is much more rare, if rarity matters to you. The total number of tourings is a fraction of the number of .1RSs

You can order a PTS/CXX Touring still - much longer window than the .1 RS window so not sure you can make any rarity statement. But as was said earlier, neither is rare. Rare for the 991 is a PTS 911R, likely a PTS Speedster to be the next rare bird.

I can agree; I'm definitely over thinking this whole thing.

You're married and have multiple cars. Single guys know that women hate, hate, hate the wing on the RS. Too, the wing is useless on the streets (and most tracks) in the U.S.
