Due to war in ukraine, parts supply became an issue and production suffered as result.
That made the first batch of cars last season very limited.
This season it is still an issue and very difficult to get allocations for these cars as there are not enough to go around.
People who had new cars last season are able to sell them this season used for exactly what they paid for them new and in some cases even more.
For 2023 you are looking at approx 280k plus tax for a new car if you already have an allocation.
Come 2025, there will be no more gas powered cayman race cars therefore these are the last of its kind which may also explain the strong resale.

Posting the sale link here, just to say that I purchased 1 (of their 4) 981 Clubsports from Team TGM two years ago and overall was a good experience. I don't have any affiliation with the team, but PM me if you want any specifics about my purchase experience (spares, PPI, etc.). Oh, and TGM switched to Aston Martin for 2023 which seems to be the reason for the RS sale.

My GT4RS was a few VINS after them and we have been trouble free. We ran all last season trouble free and almost won the Daytona 4h last week with the car.

They had a bad batch which is rare. Good news is that the fresh motors they received are perfect and running strong.

lower the operating costs are it seems like a great option. But that premium over a used 991.2 Cup washes out any benefit from the lower operating costs.

After talking to a few people, turns out the issue was tune related. The PDK on the early cars apparently allowed the engine to overrev. Seems like the 4RS is within a couple seconds of a 991.2 Cup on raw pace. With how much

From what I have seen the 4RS is more like 4+ seconds slower than a 991.2 Cup. Sebring a 991.2 Cup is 2:07-2:08 and the 4RS is 2:11-2:12, at least in SRO trim. I am sure the 4Rs would gain some time unrestricted, but not sure we'll see that much until after they are no longer current.
