Something isn't adding up..... unless it's part of their ant-speculator strategy and the 1,000 units is merely a forecasted number based on expected production capacity and could (will) be subject to change.

Again there is no indication that this is a numbered limited edition vehicle.
918 VIPs we're given first crack at the 991.1 GT3 RS in the same fashion, and it was only production limited.
And same goes for the 981 Cayman GT4.
The ~1000 units number comes from estimated production capacity intersected with projected demand based on the price point and the fact that turbo 911's are usually in less demand than their NA counterparts.
Be smart.

Tyres apart which are staggeringly expensive (for racing anyway, less so trackdays on used slicks), the sequential gearbox rebuild is costly but otherwise I don't see how the road gt3s and rs will cost significantly less to track than a Cup if driven as hard.
Plus if you prang a road car it's much more significant a hit to the value of the car than a Cup, most of which will have varying degrees of panel damage if used properly anyway.

That's a confirmed lie.
FSW and AP clearly stated to us earlier today in person at Goodwood that they are not limiting the production.
At 300k+, the pool of people buying is real small, some of the US dealer principals presently already stated that outside of the 918 VIPs allocations, they might not take too many after if at all, they don't want to get stuck with such a car in the showroom. They only want CONFIRMED orders before they take allocations, and 918 VIPs are the only reliable confirmed orders.

Based on operational costs, keep up warranty costs and depreciation over two years.
ACR maybe?

Track insurance will be double because price double.
Depreciation, less then most but probably more than a GT3RS..
AP also said the car has some lag, like every Turbo. To new that signals the car will miss some of that tremendous way the GT3 is always sharp and linear on throttle but of course that's some of the charm of a TT car. Even with vario turbo's.

Bottom line here is if you want a GT2 RS whip out your checkbook, write a check for $300k and you should be good to go. And that is exactly how it should be for this car. Kudos to porsche for changing the speculator and dealership markup game. Also smart because now Porsche will pocket all that profit which they can plow into R&D and reward executives/shareholders.

Should be about the same. N2 spec is another improvement.

Good catch at 2M12S. Almost a good view of what the next GT3RS will be, minus the huge turbos. ![hiha](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/roflmao.gif)

1) Black (if I can convince myself all CF will still stand out)
2) Guards Red with black wheels and Red pinstripe a la GT3 (pinstripe not currently offered from factory). All the CF contrasting with the red paint would look amazing in my book.
3) White
4) Crayon (Haven't seen it in the flesh yet but like it in pics)
Weissach Pack is a definite yes for me, but the red interior is hard on my eyes at the moment.
For what it's worth AP said the red interior is a must have on the 2 RS and he hates Crayon/Chalk. It's all personal I guess.
I hope it's ok, but I started a dedicated thread on specs and with poll on colour choice.

I get the 2:12 now, thanks. I had seen that in the car but didn't see it in video.
AP said very early pre-production model.
They have still quite a bit of testing and development to do in setup.
I like none of the offered colors.
I guess if that doesn't change Silver or black with black interior.
I do really like the gold wheels as on my 997RS (for sale).
