Hai ragione, a Milano e dintorni forse si sta meglio.. Vado lì solo per l'estate ormai che sono 20 anni qua, ma ogni volta mi sembra peggio.. Ho quasi paura di dovere lasciare la gt4 se vado in giro quest-estate.. Vandalismo Etc.

Any guess on how many posts we'll have prior to the unveiling of the RS? We can all sit here silent and wait or just keep the thread rolling.

So any thoughts that the us will get or have the opportunity to get the Clubsport roll cage? I guess it's just a pipedream. How about the mounting points, do we think they will remain for the US market? Thanks all for the new info.

Any Canadians ordering the rs? Any idea how many the whole country would get? I'm in for one and hoping for the best that I will actually get an allocation.

I heard from a very reliable source that the design team of the RS was taken over to the parent company late in the design phase and lots of attention was paid to the Beetle.

this has caused quite a stir, and apparently the long delays are due to them moving the engine to the front, dropping it to an inline four and turbo charging it.

oh, and tiptronic only.

I believe the car is delayed as well, now looking more like Frankfurt in September.

Peter. You would want to order it included and have it removed by the your dealer. Its bolt in and easily removed. The car is worth more on resale with it IMO.

My guess is Clubsport option as standard will only b offered in Europe.

This USA pricing may indeed run 10-12,000 USD less than equivalent Euro pricing is Clunspor is standard in Europe as I suspect standard seats and no cage, FE & Belts will be standard in USA saving considerable cost to base price.

If Euro is 185-190K base inc VAt (german price) for the 991 GT3RS incl full Clubsport package the USA base will be approx. 170K without I believe.
