anything is possible. I'd imagine race teams will optimize diet around the **** system.

That would be freakin' sweet...they do need to do something more than air vents on the hood to differentiate the car from the RS...they know that I'm sure...that was we RS morons will also be 2RS morons vs explaining to the wife why we bought the same car twice...we can say...look...see...weird vents on hood and bumper...waaaaaaay different car.

Speaking to someone the other day whose seen pics - There are some major design elements beyond a 3RS with hood vents. The car will look the business.

He also mentioned some exposed CF throughout the body - which was subsequently discussed in some of the articles by the journalists that got to preview the car

All we need now are allocations...and here we go again on the allocation merry go round of insanity

Funny part is the lambo and mclaren salesmen keep calling saying why do you put up with that crap...we will get you the car you want with our brand with no drama.

But nooooooo I have to be a Porsche freak...uggggg

Quick question... If the Weissach pack costs a large amount, say +£35k (50k USD) and includes the magnesium wheels CF roof, etc is it a must buy for someone who cares about resale years down the line?

I know everyone hates resale questions, but the price of the car is likely going to sit higher than I would have liked, so I want to know if it's a must have, like buckets and a cage. The thought of curbing those magnesium wheels makes me cringe.

Thanks

I'd bet the Weissach will add value long term...but seems pretty steep a price for something that's really a marketing gimmick to boost the price...but they all do it.

Just my opinion and I'm a car idiot - but Collector car that is delivery miles or less than 200 miles I think you need the Weissach pack. Driven car I don't think it matters.
