Exactly. Well at least I didn't imagine reading it.

Both the top of the line 918 and the next in line Turbo S, have RWS. I just don't see them putting a model between them without RWS. JMHO.

Im fairly certain RS will have RWS. The whole homo thing as Mike says is a red herring for this generation.

DFI
Electric Power Steering
PDK only

All that ^ and all of a sudden no RWS??? Doesn't sound right and surely doesn't follow the ethos of this gen.

Yet another data point from my dealer today, a premier Porsche dealership...not necessarily new, just adding to our fact base. I strongly trust what I hear from this dealer.

- RS will be announced/launch in March 2015
- allocations will be distributed to dealers at that time

I take that to mean dealers really have no idea at this point on how many RS allocations they will get. Putting all your eggs in the hopes of an RS might be risky....no RS and no '15 speced to order gt3.

Let's start a possible option list for RS. Personally a striper would be awesome so having a difficult time wrapping my mind what this "list" could possible consist of.

The list will be far shorter than the regular 3.

I have mentally created my RS option list ready for my dealer:

1. Axle lifting system.

That's it.

RWS = rear wheel steer...

Will be curious as to how many spec the 918 wheels......that will be one for the committed

Would love..and stand to be disappointed...for there to be non centerlock options.....but one can live in hope....
