Not very efficient by German standard but that's how Porsche does it.

When Porsche list standard options on the build sheets, those options can be mass produced by their suppliers and thus can be delivered and install along the main assembly line.

True CXX options are different, those cars will get worked on at Exclusive after the car is built. One reason why some of the CXX options re outrageous in price.
Indeed this is made obvious - although not specifically mentioned (to my recollection) - in some of the recent documentary type videos about current Porsche production lines. The 5-door passenger car lines are probably different.

They're finally racing the motor. Now they're going to start focusing on reducing weight. What next, a real man's interior for GT cars?

Bravo.

One can always hope

But would you accept an interior that looks like a Cup car?

So far
AC Satco : No RS NA
Trackcar : No RS NA, GT2RS only
OP : No RS NA, hybrid eventually

3 statements for no RS NA anymore

the rest is nothing
or out of thread topic as usual

This cleaned up a bit and modified to meet safety regulations? For an RS, you bet.

I can tell you what I don't want. i don't want my track car/early morning escape/emotional engagement toy to look like a Panamera inside. Bottom line there is plenty of room to "RS" the interior while taking weight out regardless of which end of the spectrum you fall.

I've asked for some crazy CXX options for the gt2rs. I'll let you know how it goes. I believe we have the same taste in options. 😉

How far can you go?... up to now all we've seen is changes in coverings like leather etc.. that picture above is epic.. but requires structural changes.. would Porsche do that for any price?

At the end of the day, an RS is a street car. Some creature comfort will be expected.

My ClubSport interior is REALLY bare, I don't mind driving it on a race track with a helmet and radio ear plugs, but without those? Nah. There is a lien to be drawn.

For a street car, nav is a must for me, bluetooth, air con, (I even have air con on my race car). Manual seats are fine, but i want auto dimming mirrors, auto lower for parking, heated side mirrors, auto windows, etc.

The current GT3RS just about tick every single box, perhaps I might wish it has carbon doors like my race car for weight loss, perhaps even full carbon exterior a la Singer to lose another 50-100lbs.

My ClubSport weights in a 1300kg, When I look around inside the car, perhaps I could add back another 50-75kg for creature comforts. Sound insulation and passenger seat and other stuff, that should be the bare minimum one could expect.

Anything less than that weight one needs to look at perhaps carbon tub, full carbon unibody to save more weight. But that also means the price will go way up.

Just go for the radio delete & without chrono - that's what I did as I wanted it as basic as possible - no distractions, just purely for driving! Still have AC though, that's a must for any sane person

Love it, but too bad most of the RS buyers are total C&C posers who load up the car with useless options. LESS IS MORE!


Quick Reply: 991.2 is 3.8 and RS.2???
