I don't really get the whole 911R thing unless you don't like spoilers. I needn't worry about it because all the 918 guys will suck them up in the US.

 

I don't know what it is yet but I want it...in some crazy PTS color...name is on the "list"...we shall see

 

Yeah, I'm mostly with you on this.

Except for the fact that it *might* be the final Manual Transmission N/A "GT" 911 that Porsche ever makes, the appeal is minimal for me. I like things with big wings.

(And I have enough manual transmission cars, not to mention the GT4 that I just got last month.)

Still, I'm on the list. And will buy it if I manage to secure an alloc.

Source says:

4.0 RS engine
RWS
"Lightweight"
Very limited

 

I heard RS 4.0 engine as well. I been told that engine can easily squeeze about 5% more HP too. I am not an engine expert though - otherwise I'd work at Weissach

I am confident no RWS though and it won't be that limited since plan is to make around 900-1000 units.

 

^^^ Do you plan to get two?

 

Must be hard to break the habit

 

Porsche just released the official new name of their "R"...

 

Sweet, that probably means that the .2RS uses the same engine with 515-520hp.

 

I've heard 4.2l for 991.2rs and actually seen it on paper! But not from one of my better sources. So take it for what it's worth.

 

I'll take a 4.0L or 4.2L on a .2RS as long as it gets 520+ hp.

 

I'll take a 991.2 RS in any capacity.

 

I'm #2 on the list at my dealer. Needless to say I won't be getting it. 918 dude gets priority

 

Just a friendly reminder to everyone regarding PCNA's 918 Spyder VIP program...

918 VIP's (of which there were 297 originals in the US, possibly a few less now) get first right of refusal at the national level for allocations. Once all their allocations have been handed out (from PCNA, directly to their original 918 selling dealers), the remaining pool is handed out to dealers on a pro-rata basis per the original allocation percentage split (based on whatever the original criteria was).

 

If they just make 900 to 1000 total most of the US allocation will be taken by the 918 guys.
