I just bought an unraced 2005 GT3 cup car, I was curious how may were produced in 2005 and or any of the other years? I would imagine around 100 per year world wide for the cup car.

will you have it at PIR the week of August 8th?:-) I hope to see you fly past me. I love the smell of race gas exhaust.

Some years the production is close to 300. It all depends on how many series will need new cars. I think 2006 was a 'big' year. Call Martin Warth at Weissach for the exact number.

Can you guys pease tell me: is the GT3 cup or RSR (any year) street legal in Europe or USA? sorry for my ignorance but I would like to be sure about this.


schmidtwerk, congratulations !

Neither one is street legal in the USA. They are imported "for off road use only".

You can however buy one and if you happen to be a car dealer or have a friend who is a dealer, slap your dealer plate on the back and go to town. The car is then in violation of things like emissions equipment, crash safety, minimum ride height and noise limits but will be legally licenses and insured. There are quite a few less than legal cars running around with dealer plates.

THis being the case, I don't know why you would want to dirve your Cup Car on the street as it is a considerable investment and not the kind of thing that you want to hit pot holes and expansion joints with. That being said, we do the above to run our race car up and down the highway to sort out any issues before an event if there is no time to take it to the track so there are benifits to being able to do it every now and then.

Thank you enthusiast and Blacksport350 - I think I will have to go for a GT3 CS with a cup wing

roberga

zicoramone. are you in Europe?

zicoramone

Yes I am. Is there any difference ?

roberga

we can not get the GT3CS in the US

There were 39 2005 Cup cars imported to North America.

Rassel

There are street legal Cups in Germany.
Though, remember the car is not manufacturer approved. So if you import it to another country, you might get problems depending on the country.

ringmeister,
do you know how many for 04?

off the top of my head, there were quite a few 04 cars made at the end of 2003, I had to move a car out of Weissach to make a space for them. As I've said earlier, call Martin Warth in the racing department, he has the figures.

I got the '05 number from PMNA, I'm sure if you send them an e-mail they can tell you haw many '04 came to North America.
