I love the car and think its amazing, but if there not showing the GT2 on the Porsche USA website at the current moment, Why attach the "RS" badge? Why not just leave it as the GT2?

I just Hate seeing the marketing department water down The RS and GTS badges.

Too bad the "makers" of the YOUTUBE video did not let us enjoy the high-revving engine, screaming tires, etc, instead they screwed it up big time by playing raunchy music, like a music video... which it is not!

My .02 cents

Looks badass and I REALLY love the "goldish" colored wheels.
Finally something else than silver! Makes a huge difference, no surprise those gold BBS wheels always have and always will look business.
(how timely, I'm in a process of painting my wheels gold color... Not the bright, sort of yellow gold but darker, old school gold like they used to be).

Though so impressive, technically speaking, these uber-expensive newer Porsches do little to move me in the styling department.
