Funny how things are so different in the UK... It is actually A LOT cheaper to buy a new RS than every older RS and even the 991 GT3.

So for us the new RS is the bargain of the century!

That is one monster Lion battery compared to the old one.

On the US microsite in the tech specs transmission section, there are 2 choices listed. 7-speed PDK and....MANUAL TRANSMISSION

Looks as if both are offered there to me. No mention of it elsewhere.

here are my possible upgrade deals from my 458italia (MY 2013):

to 488GTB : about 55K euro (reasonable configuration, not excessive on carbon etc), the ferrari dealer wants to keep my business and shows his generous side

to GT3RS : about 70K euro + 7K euro for rearview cam and parking sensors.
spec includes carbon ceramics. no good part exchange deal from porsche

to 458speciale: about 88K euro

to GT3: about 10K euro + 7K euro for rearview cam and parking sensors (if i can still round up an allocation).

i think i am going to stay with the 488GTB precontract.

Carbon trim; doors, dash, center console I think that's an $1800ish option

...GT Silver is optionally free on the RS...

You'd have to pay to upgrade from a 458 to a GT3? How much are they giving you for the 458? Does it have 100k km or something ridiculous?

Sounds like a good idea...or get GT3, but have a feeling from a 458 that's not on the table.

Market is going to get really soft on 458's (as it already is headed that way) so 488 trade will make sense.

I'm not sure if this has been posted but the US builder is up and running. Just click on build GT3 then in the web page address bar change the 991810 to 991850 and it will load the GT3RS.

This is a little interesting. Bucks the trend of recent GT models on this score:
