new issue of winding road has a review of the RS
new issue of winding road has a review of the RS
also big news on the ferrari front.
"as the gt3 rs has no rear seats, a thin polycarbonate rear glass, a special carbon fiber rear engine lid, and a lighter single-mass flywheel, we imagine the north american gt3 rs weighs a bit less than the quoted 3031 pound curb weight"
first batch is 700 units w/ a healthy portion coming to the u.s.
makes me think we will see more than the 229 currently being touted.
i would think out of a batch of 700 we would see at least 300.
this also lends credence to the rumors that a little over 300 total units are heading this way and there will be another small allocation round.
bottom picture just looks like a really nice drive

dont worry about number of production
if you really DROVE the car, you will hav 30k miles in one year like i do.
so by end of year 3, your car would be worthless even if it was one of a kind.
ENJOY the ride.

I agree with you Jeff, but my only counterpoint would be that Porsche has a good read on the world "RS" market (964/993/996/etc.) and has yet to test the US market. If this first production run is a success in the US, then I would bet that they will make as many as they can sell... Like it or not, that is a good business decision for Porsche. (Personally, I would prefer the exclusivity of such a special new product.)
My $0.02.

I was informed today that the total production is 400 and the 229 to the US is correct ...my August delivery will still be considered an '07
