Journos drove it at PEC in UK, and surrounding roads, a couple of weeks ago.
They had 2x2RS for the occasion.
Reviews published next month I think.

Or, 1000 cars split between ROW and NA.

I'm betting on the former.
1000 for Europe and 1000 for ROW

Source? Please don't say "My dealer."

Best source, so far, is AP on Facebook who, there, said 3000 cars total.

Video on Facebook from this week of the "Porsche Sound Night" at the Porsche Museum. AP said roughly 1000 EU, 1000 ROW.

You need to understand German to get anything out of this video.

AP introduces the GT2 RS on this Facebook video at 2:06:00 and, evidently (I don't understand German), gives some expected production figures.

Facebook Post

Someone has incorrectly interpreted what he said into English to mean 2000 total cars. In correct English, he actually said 3000 total cars.

I read this as 2000 cars not 3000!


AP: the vehicle is not limited. we made our experiences... that limited numbers to not reach the demand. but we are limited in production. and we are further limited with homologation/registration in some markets based on the small-scale series "Kleinserie".
We try to satisfy demand.
We can built 1.000 units for EU - and maybe also the same amount for ROW and USA. But more it can´t/will not become - unfortunately

In the past Porsche have listed USA separate to ROW because the USA versions have specific and not insignificant differences. Porsche used to include Europe in the ROW numbers but the fact AP didn't and specifically differentiated between Europe and ROW builds does point to a production of 3000 units.

Ny gut feeling is 2000 units seems more likely when total 997GT2+RS was 1761 units but I'll go with the 3000
