Someone has news on PTS.
It seems like they have stopped them all!

To me they said that PTS is OK but not in combination with Weissach. (This was a couple of days ago)

Do you say that thay has stopped PTS on 991 GT2 RS completely now?

If anyone out there has an instrumented test of this car, I'd love to see a copy of it.

I haved the info from my dealer (3 cars for 2018) and one with PTS for June delivery at an ultra VIP owner, the car is in standby and not sure of the delivery date and also not sure about the possibility to make the PTS color!! Apparently the dealer recommended to cancel PTS and just get a standard color because there is a problem somewhere...

They want ultimate the production of the cars destined to EU zone due the new EU 6c emissions.
The factory must be reorganized for the particle filter.
This is not correct, i can await but i want the car in my PTS color.

Just to be clear: I got an answer from Porsche that PTS was OK (but not with WP) on the 5th of February.

Here in Italy the news is always encrypted.
It is said that little is known and little is said.

Chicago Auto Show opens up for the public February 10 through 19. February 9 Black Tie event for charity. February 8 there was a Porsche private event, where I got invited. Saw the GT2RS and it looks much better in person than in pictures. Looking at the front fenders, the car looks wider than the 991.1 GT3RS.

Drive safe,
GT3RS-Fan1




What an amazing car.


The carbon fiber weaving on the rear spolier, just beautiful.


Frunk showing NACA intake ducts.


Air intake duct funnels air down to front brakes.


Carbon fiber distilled water reservoir.


Carbon fiber mirror wind diffuser with matching carbon fiber upper side mirror.


Carbon fiber fender vents protrude over fenders more so than GT3RS, to flush air and pressure but also to direct air more to the side intakes.


Carbon fiber side intakes are better than the carbon fiber side intakes of Exclusive Series.


Carbon fiber steering wheel.


Carbon fiber air scoops better than the plastic ones on the 991.2 GT3


Very nice rear end. Somebody already stole the "GT2RS" decal from the prior car show event on the west coast.


Show car has only 22 miles.

Hello Kobalt,

Hope all is well. I think you are right. Soon I hope, late summer, into fall maybe. LOL. It is amazing how Porsche did it with a flat-6, twin-turbo, rear wheel drive. Simply amazing.

Drive safe,
GT3RS-Fan1 (for now )
