Great vid. It is so cold this morning that all I can think of is, someday I will find a way to drive where there is no snow.

Am I the only one that thinks the rear wing is a bit crude and overdone?

No, you're certainly not alone in thinking that, but I would tend to forgive the crudity given that it's a car clearly built for the racetrack.

Yeah, if it is truly necessary to post the best performance for the track (clearly the intention) then I'm OK with it, but not my style for sure. I would like to see it toned down a bit.

Yeah, truly awesome. Maybe the only other color I'd pay $3k for,....wonder why Porsche hardly ever offers orange,....I mean we have reds & yellows, but no orange. I really wish Porsche would expand their non-metallic offerings a bit.

Great video! Now that I had a chance to sit back and watch the entire thing...

First, let me say that unless I am completely dense that video footage was a very nice display of drone work! I actually think I caught one in the background at 2:20....

Second -- i do like the interior, and noticed in the closing shots that the steering wheel seems to be of the same 'style' as what has been labeled at the 991.2 interior update, but without any buttons on the wheel. I was sure we'd see the Sport Plus button or something on the wheel, similar to the buttons on the 918. But nothing. But then again, maybe the RS is always in Sport Plus mode and no need for a button? The video didn't focus on the center console buttons, but it looked configured different as well and not sure I could see the Sport buttons. So, maybe they don't exist?

Anyways, great, inspiring vid! I want to find that road!!!

Does "RS" stand for "Rennsport"? If not, please enlighten me.

Sounds like a Ducati on steroids. I personally don't care for the turbo side vents. Does anybody know what they are for?

Rennsport in English is racing sport.
