Good man. Very tasty indeed, but got to say - what the hell is it with the 2004 GT2/GT3 and the CF wing and mirrors? Shocking. Gets worse every time I see them. Although my German is pretty rusty, I wonder if this is all a very dubious taste PAG joke and what we've got here is actually the limited edition GT3-ReiS.

As you said, not a lot of differences between the GT3 and GT3-RS... i'm really disapointed with that... i wish it would have a stock roll cage, harness, etc... but no...

keep checking the carnewal site. I'm sure Gert will have the upgrade parts as soon as they are available. Don't forget to order the CF front hood while you're at it.

"The entire cockpit area in the new 911 GT3 RS is designed with the racetrack in mind. All interior equipment found on the 911 GT3 Clubsport can also be found here.
Key features include a bolt-in roll-over bar that can be easily extended to form a fully enclosed competition roll cage. All components are supplied ready to install as part of the standard package. For added protection, the standard bucket seats have a flame-retardant fabric finish.
Other standard equipment includes preparation for a battery master switch, a six-point racing harness for the driver’s side, and a fire extinguisher with mounting bracket. The standard three-point belts and six-point harness are supplied in the same colour as the exterior decals and logo.
Alcantara can also be found on the three-spoke leather steering wheel (providing additional grip), the gear lever and the handbrake grip. The steering wheel incorporates a full-size airbag and offers manual reach adjustment.
The glove compartment featured in the standard GT3 has been removed to minimise weight."

The front part of the cage, harness, etc. are not TUV approved in some countries (for example, Germany) and so comes seperately to the car itself. The car you saw had not had these fitted yet. Whether they will be fitted by the dealer will depend on the local legislation.
For example, my friend Ulf picked up his car in Germany. These parts were not fitted and were either handed to him in boxes or sent back to Sweden. In Sweden, where the car is registered, the cage is legal and the dealer will fit the front portion of the cage there.
I have only seen the back portion of the cage (the roll bar). I was quite impressed with it. I can see why it is FIA approved.
