Yup, base price here is just under $1.4M + the piece of paper we need to buy to own it for 10 years which is currently trading at around $100K. We can just call it $1.1M+ USD before options to keep it simple. PTS is $182K, Heritage Pack is $100K, CF rollcage $26K, front nose lift $18K etc. As you can see it adds up quickly and is too rich for my blood. But if they ever made a similar car with PDK and kept the GT3 wing I might have to convince my wife to let me sell a kidney or two...
haha, the RS is a bit too track focused for me. I only plan to track a few times a year and I feel like that car would not make a good daily and needs to live on the track or be a fun weekend car. My ideal car would probably be some combination of the GT3 and the S/T since I prefer to daily it. But I still love my GT3 to bits and am having a blast with it!

Yet the 3RS would still likely be an overall better daily. Smoother suspension than a standard GT3 and PDK. It just so happens to also be the most awesome design Porsche has had since the 930.
Apparently you and me have similar tastes… 675LT, M5 Comp, ST. I drove a 4.0 once. And it was otherwordly. It really is magnificent.
Nice garage bud.
I am hunting for a 4 seat convertible for Dubai. Nothing really calling out to me. Now considering an M8 comp convertible with a tune.
S63 convertible is very rare and can't find a nice spec St a good price + discontinued.
Dawn is too much of a statement
Bentley GTC is too heavy and numb if anything like the first gen cars
Astons have dated tech and the dbs is too overpriced at present
M8 Comp convertible with a tune seems like a value buy but I dont love the looks of it.

Oddly enough as a raw experience the S58 engine in the BMW X drive platforms is just a riot especially when tuned.
Back to topic.
i prefer the undercover nature of the m5. M8 drop top is interesting but not in love with it.

One of the things that stood out for me in the 2 Jasons 1 Car video was when they quoted different weights for the US market and European market:
US market weight: 3,056lbs
European market weight: 3,042lbs
My question: what’s behind the lighter Euro weight? Anything that could be retrofit into a US car?
I suspect that part of it may be Lexan windows which I believe aren’t legal for the US market. But they also have the CFRP roll cage, and still it’s lighter by 14lbs. That can’t all be Lexan, right?
One more thought - this graphic (below) doesn’t include a few items that should lower the weight. In one car publication, they got a GT3 in its lightest spec and weighed it, and it was 3,222lbs, so part of me wonders if they were, uncharacteristically, under quoting the GT3 weight and therefore needed to sandbag the S/T numbers a bit more than they usually do?
the biggest: all sound deadening is removed. That has to account for some weight??
CFRP front fenders (wings for our friends in the UK) and rear wing.
Not sure if this is the case on the GT3: the brake pedal stalk/lever on the S/T is carbon fiber (perhaps it’s just not enough weight saved to include it on this graphic)

should have looked online first, looks like Lexan alone could account for the weight difference, if that’s the delta between US > Euro specs

Wow, those option prices make look the ADMs in the US look like a bargain.
Thanks man. The S/T is my money-no-object dream car, and I’m far from being a VIP (one Porsche a VIP does not maketh). I decided to give it my all, and I’m blessed but I’m not made of $$, so I had to put more effort than most. Beyond stoked that it worked out, because the odds were against me.
so after all the calls what ADM did you finally settle for? Congrats, will be an epic car
