I don’t think 991 would be a classic but it’s the shape and interior I like. Will it retain value better though than something more common say like a Carrera S?
anyone here planning to keep their RS for a decade or more? Or are you all moving on to the next latest and greatest?
I doubt I will keep my RS for more than a few years, unless I really don’t like the 992 or they stop putting a high revving N/A engine in it.
991RS is a great car
991RS runs circle around 997RS
but 991RS will not be classic like 997RS
my GUESS is, 991 had new engine architecture, new tech (rear steering), new interface... I would believe 992 will improve all of that so called NEW tech.
997 is outdated
you cant not really outdate an outdated technology.
so it's a classic.
Didnt you just name all of the RS generations though? And all but the current are classics? Wouldn’t it be more likely that eventually this generation will be viewed in the same way as tech progresses with electric and hybrids? Not that we should be concerned about this now, but it does seem to be interesting when you lay it out the way you did.

Porsche made a lot more 991s than previous gens. I am sure someone can provide the numbers.

its my GUESS that 992 will be petro
and if so, 992 will be "classic" vs. 991.
now if 992 is hybrid or nuclear powered. then 991 will be classic.
That's a lot of units for a car that stickers for $220K+.
I wouldn't say they overproduced though. For the most part, dealers can easily sell new GT3 RS at sticker even in today's market condition. Used will take a hit but that's in line with all cars and the hit is not that bad in comparison.
Overproduced is what McLaren does, where dealer inventory just piles up with new cars because event at a $50K discount they can't offload them.
Fact is , nobody knows . Enjoy your car . Most people won’t keep it long enough for it to matter . I know I’m really enjoying my .2 RS classic or not . Also just got the Weissach carbon steering wheel today. Pretty cool bonus I didn’t even know I was getting !
Are you saying dealers are having a hard time selling new .2 3RS cars at msrp? The few that are available nationwide are still asking $25k+ ADM and not interested in selling at sticker. But I guess that’s why they’re still available.
