Porsche wants to sell every day more cars, and that's ok and normal. But in my opinion 4.0 RS should has been manufactured more different from 3.8 RS and in a limited series (max 250 cars, as the old number that a lot of manufactures had used to homologate racing cars (200-300)).

Another issue is the correlation between street car and racing car. Porsche RS is born to have a good base, and to homologate its racing cars. With 4.0 RS we had the opposite, from racing to road car. You could say, and then?! Nothing, i'm just a motorsport/cars romantic.

I don't care what anyone says that car is awesome!

1-I see Porsche is using steel brake instead of PCCB...interesting
2-I personally wish Porsche would have done the RSR like wider fender flares and front end to make the car look more race car like.
3-The white wheels will look filthy in 20 street miles a 1 track lap. Polished wheels like on the Lizards car would look sharp.

....but I'll never be able to drive one because of no PDK so my opinions or moot.
