As a Native Angeleno and knowing that L.A. Is the hot spot in the world for sports cars, I really hope it is the LA Auto show. Southern California for years (dont know if it still holds true, but I believe it is) has been Porsche's #1 market and helped keep Porsche alive during some pretty lean years. It would be nice to have Porsche "reward" their #1 market by giving us the honor of dropping the RS on our show. Not to mention, not only is there a huge automotive media presence here, but the strongest overall media presence anywhere in the world. Big vote for LA Autoshow for me!

+1 to the above. Cayman and Macan had their debuts in LA. Let's hoping for the 991 GT3 RS!

Yes, but wasn't the GT3 debut in Geneva 2013?

I received the following information today from a reliable source at Porsche:

Last GT3 production January, 2015.
Retool for GT3 RS production starting April, 2015.

As far as members of the GT3 Action Group are concerned, Porsche feels that they have taken care of the 2014 GT3 owners. Previous discussions with Porsche about the Group receiving a "golden ticket" (aka GT3 RS allocation) will not happen.

Oh well. It was a nice dream for awhile. Guess I'll have to get one the old fashioned way.

I can confirm this is correct. Communication from my German dealer has estimated delivery date of June 2015.

See you next year

First deliveries will go to 918 guys who opted for the RS as well. Deliveries to North America in June/July 2015. Deliveries in Europe in April - 6-8 weeks later for shipping to North America.

May June would work very well for lapping Spa and the Ring
Quickest way to find out how much we hate flappy's on track

Strongest argument I've heard yet to go triple-black, murdered out with the RS. Why be just disdained when you can be truly scorned........?

I feel like lighting up a Marlboro but I only smoke at the track.

^^^^ why not? "murdered out", PTS, or white + wrap a la 918. Going to be a tough call.

Did you guys see this?
