Darn. Looks like it is only 10 kg lighter. 1420 kg GT3 RS vs 1430 kg GT3.

Hopefully there will be a lightweight battery option, saving another 10 kg. And hopefully there will be some delete options, like AC delete. No need to remind me about resale value. I care about weight, not resale value.

From a shallow point of view, this 911 is the hottest one ever created.

Would anyone recommend raiding the kids college fund and selling it 10 years from now when they need the cash??

Simply sublime. The color, the cutouts, and yes, even the wing. Yet, the car is not for me: Too hardcore for the street and a bit too rich for the track. I'll give them a big smile when they pass me, though.

So the outside has the lights, doors and mirrors in common with the GT3. Biggest departure from the regular GT3 to date.

Rear wing looks a little taller than before but may still be a bit low to see the coppers coming.
The gigantic hips, wing and rear wheels make the front look narrow and we know its huge.. I think the car will be much more impressive in real life.

I hope I can at least get custom door sill that say 4.0. Lit.

Orange looks great in the films, much better than pottery color earlier, but I'm curious about mystery purple. That orange stuff inside is going to make track days with the windows open a bitch to clean up.

I like it! Even more after watching those videos. But the orange launch color is not for me, interior is a little to much street. Hmmmm. Not really feeling it the same way as I did for the 4.0 when it was launched. Gt4 or 1rs?

Guys we are missing something!

Peak torque is 460 nm not 480 nm.

Max rpm is 8800 not 9000 rpm (video is a bad edit from earlier testing mule when redline was 9000 rpm as was originally intended before 991 GT3 engine issue?).

In not sure top speed is 320 kmph. I think that German news post thats been taken down was wrong?

We are missing something here???

I think we are 500 bhp/460nm/8800rpm/1400kg/193mph

^^ ****ty track app, stupid wheels, stupid closed caliper, 200RPM less than GT3, too big, too loud, probably too bumpy.

The Pitlane speedlimiter wont do anything to make it worth more than say $150K, certainly no one with a super duper 918 will be stupid enough to get one and no one will throw money on top of a GT3 for less engine speed..

I'd like mine early May please.
