Default Re: PTS on 991 gt3 RS

To confirm what NateOZ and others have already posted on this thread, I received today an email from someone I know at PCNA and it reads, in part, as follows:

"the factory has agreed to offer PTS on the RS's at some point for a limited number of cars and in a limited amount of colors."

Details are not yet available but perhaps might be announced in April. C'est tout.

Saludos,
Eduardo

Are we really comparing F1 aero to street car aero?

Lol - was best pict of chassis rake I had handy. We're already comparing the RS to a 4x4 so why not?

Against the Huracan - who cares? Is anyone really cross-shopping a track special versus an understeering, street-poser?
Huracan ... street-poser? ... Not!

This may be the Speciale-killer .... needs to be comparison tested with the RS.

Eduardo - Is this in reference to GT3s in the allocation round that just came out or are they talking about the next round of allocations?

Of course on this board there is some debate about whether there will even be a next round of allocations!

At least you get more than 4 color choices with the Huracan

^^^ Congrats.
Maybe late October delivery and time for some end-of-season driving/tracking before mothballing for the winter months.

Congrats on the confirmed slot, Allan!

Confirmed an August build today with my dealer. He said locki-n date of July 20th. Also confirmed Porsche is opening up PTS with the colors being geared toward heritage collection.

I haven't decided on a color right now. I will do PTS if it comes available but I will get Lava Orange if I need to take the spot. I like white on these cars but my last three GT3s have been white. I wouldn't mind having something different.
