Default Endurance Racing Edition

Did anyone else get offered one of these? Supposedly 90 coming to US. I'm not sure i really understand why its special - seems like a regular S with graphics and a mark-up. I feel like it is being offered to me as a consolation prize for missing an RS allocation...

So a regular, i.e. non-GT, special edition?

Nope. Not offered but dealer knows I only want GT cars...

My dealer here asked me if I was interested in the car if they got an allocation, I turned it down.

Just an options package then with homage to endurance racing without anything making the car better for endurance tracking?

If its exactly what you like and there is a discount in the packaging, why not?

From the literature it seems that you get access to the special Porsche Intelligent Performance livery (which is otherwise restricted to the factory race cars). Not sure if that's a big enough draw...

Are GT3/RS cars being devalued? This edition using aCarrera S base sure does look like a parts bin exercise. It is being marketed as some sort of track car...interesting.

I wonder why they asked me. I know I've bought a couple cars from dealer but I'm nowhere near the top of the totem here. Wonder if the higher up people Are passing this up too.
