Who in their right mind is going to pay a 250K markup. Staggering...

My guess is somewhere between 2500-3000 but the above Instagram shot is classic example of how speculation becomes 'fact'
He doesn't even say who told him, and suddenly it's 'a contact in Porsche'.
He might have been 'personally told' by his cat, in a dream, for all we know.
Porsche is expert at keeping these things very tight, to its own advantage

Yes... too me it also looks a bit strange. But still, I would be surprised by 2500-3000. I think it will be way less than 2500. Maybe 1500. Because of short production cycle.

Sure they could. They sold a thousand overcomplicated, heavy 918s at three times the cost.

Are you sure it's not a case of 'Rohrl is faster around Algarve in a 2rs than some customers in the .2 Cup' rather than a blanket 'the 2rs is as fast or faster than a Cup'?

Slicks give a car a tremendous cornering advantage, it'll take some believing the Cup can be matched or bettered by a car on Cup2s imo.

Seems like two additional options, is that gelbgrün and rubystone? Or are they just samples and any color can be requested?

Those are just the usual place holder colours. If you look at 3D model the green changes to a light blue and the red looks more metallic.

Yes, they "sold" 918 copies of the 918.

But they had to bribe 918 customers to do it.

I doubt PAG would start bribing people to buy a GT2 RS at sticker.

They will keep building this car into 2019 just like they will the GT3 and GT3RS (maybe not for Europe, but for the US and ROW for sure).

This car is lighter, much faster, a third the cost, and not horrendously overcomplicated. The only way they could make it more appealing would be to stick a third pedal on the floor.

They'll sell them. Hopefully the numbers will kill the toxic trend of ADM.
