Interesting. Would love to see a pic of the purple panel if possible, thanks.

I don't think you can get a factory delivery between October and Easter due to the requirement to have winter tyres fitted. You could up until a year or two ago but it's changed.

Oh and Purple is the second fastest color and it may even prove in the near

future to be the fastest .

now every time I see a FEDEX truck I instantly think RS .

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but why are the rear wheels 21's instead of 20's like the front has? From the rear 3/4 view like the pic of the UV posted a couple pages ago, the rears look so big that it makes it look like a Hotwheels toy car. I really don't get why the different sizes.

I think it is mentioned in the AP Evo-video that it is to get a better angle of the car.
More aero.

Edit: I correct my self. it is not mentioned.

He talks about the wheels at: 1:55

Don't know if it has been asked already but searched and couldnt find anything

Does anyone know if the suspension on the RS is the same as the gt3?

Thanks

I have found the quote now:

"At the rear, the new 911 GT3 RS is muscular in appearance, aggressively so when seen from the side. The 21-inch wheels on the rear axle not only improve the footprint, traction and lateral dynamics, they also help to provide a
slight forward pitch, which hints at the car’s hunger for acceleration."

it is from the 991 GT3 RS Catalog.
