At the risk of drifting into even more speculation, there is talk of a 'Weissach Pack" to get to this number. Probably has Magnesium wheels for a start.
I think Porsche wants to take some of the current premiums for itself!
Yummy,
Magnesium wheels will look awesome on the garage wall. (Expensive decoration)
I don't have that level of a cleaning lady, but I expect it will have it.
If RWS came on the GT3, RS, and even the lightweight focused 911R, I would expect it on the GT2RS. It's now considered an essential performance improvement for the 991 body/wheelbase, even with the weight penalty.

It's interesting hearing about, fewer than ever, do you see .1GT3's on track compared to years ago. This goes the same, and more so with the .1RS, where most are either garage queens or C & C cars. So why when we compare the 2RS vs the latest Fcar's and Mac's, saying they're better on the track when they'll be that many more that will never see the track. All these GT cars are getting far too expensive to track. I'd really like to see the figures of tracked gt3 vs gt3rs vs gt2rs vs Fcar's vs Mac's.
Agree. I was just at an event at COTA. There was one other RS of ANY vintage other than mine. One UV and one LO in entire lot. The most common work horses were 997.2 gt3's and gt4s. Were also a few 991 Gt3 but RS's were all at home in garage.
There are more RS's than I imagined. I just got back from two edge addicts COTA event and 5 most scene cars: Porsche GT4 & GT3/RS 2:1 ratio, Corvettes, Camero ZL1's. The Porsches were the most dominant as a total combined which was surprising. There were a few Ferrari's and decent Mac turnout but they have a strong presence in Austin. Great dealership I keep hearing about.
LOL, I love that story about the 675 LT owner getting passed by miatas, kind reminds of the rich guys you see in Colorado on $13,000 mountain bikes getting passed all the time by the guys on $1,300 bikes.
Does your purple RS really get that much less attention than a Ferrari?
No, a purple RS with wing,decals and x-pipe gets as much attention as anything on the road; like it or not.

Not having any inside info, I'm pretty sure it will. It seems that everyone will be doing RWS on high-end cars and even SUVs soon. It's a noticeable improvement in lap times from a rather simple and cheap mechanism (achieving a comparable benefit in lap times and stability purely mechanically would have been way more expensive).
