    More GT3RS info (and a new limited production super-997 for 2010!)

    Guys I've got a few more snippets on the new RS from the salesmanager at my OPC today.

    The GT3RS will be announced on 12th Aug.  He said that he had been show pictures by PCGB of the new RS in stealth grey with red GT3RS decals around the rear wheel arch, down the sides of the bonnet and with red wheels, mirrors and rear wing. He also said he had seen pics of the car in what he called "aqua blue" with red decals and wheels etc... and also a white car with decals.  I quizzed him on aqua blue and said - do you mean rivera blue and he said "oh yes, you're right that is its name".  So it seems that the colours are stealth grey, rivera and white all with a new red decal scheme + poss some others?

    He also talked about a brand new car that will be released in very limited numbers next year. He said it was a 997 but had a very different look (he said it looked somewhat like a 993) as it had a number of distinctive features such as twin domes on the roof! He said it was in matt primer grey (similar to the RS) and he said it looked totally stunning. Will be strictly in limited numbers - he said only 240 cars worldwide and will retail in the UK for £135,000. Ive forgotten the exact name he said the car would have but it was something like a 997 clubsport coupe - or such like - sorry ive forgotton the exact name! DOH!!! 

    This car with the twin domed roof sounds very much like the car we have all seen the pics of and suspected might be a 998 mule!?!?!?!  Interesting that this tied in with the spyshots we have seen here on the forum and which he will no doubt be oblivious of!

    He had seen the pics first hand from the UK product manager and had no reason to make any of that up for me - a mere hopeful gen2 GT3 customer

    RIVIERA BLUE, that's great, I don't have to spend extra for the PTS.

    But what is the twin domed roof? That's a ltd car like a Carrera or GT3?

    Thanks

    There is nothing from these pictures that suggest it is turbo charged, so what else can justify such a high price?  4.0L?  F8?  Also why limited number, homologate for GT1?  Can't wait to see this new 911.

    I don't know if we had these pics here at rennteam already (lost the overview with all those 991 spy pics), but the car in the following link, which is said to be the next 911, actually looks like the special edition 997, Adam was talking about. Smiley

    I don't think so. Look at the mirrors, it's clearly a 997.2 and because of the double-bubble in the roof we can assume it's the special edition Adam was talking about. Smiley

    ...sounds promising, both about the RS and the special edition 997.

    There are high hopes for the forthcoming GT3RS...should be even a step further than the current GT3. 

    About the special edition car...may be something like club sport? Some months ago, there had been also spy pics of a 997 speedster... any news here?

    Smiley well.....that´s a good statement, Porsche is still around for good surprises these times!

    Looking forward to that!

     

    BTW....I will be at the IAA. I guess we meet at the Rennteam stand, right....Smiley 


    Re: More GT3RS info (and a new limited production super-997 for 2010!)

    I got a bit more info yesterday on the special model. The car will be called the Sport Classic and like c4c says is based upon a C2S but with a C4S widebody and a powerkit.

    The front and rear bumpers are modified and follow the GT3 styling whilst the tail spoiler pays hommage to the original 2.7RS. The wheels are a modern take on the Fuchs from the 70's. The price in the UK is going to be an eye watering £135k and not every dealer will get a car to sell.

    Potentially a very quick way to see £50k plus depreciation overnight as I doubt this car will be viewed as a real collectors item

    The more interesting news I got was on the performance of the Gen2 turbo but I'm sworn to secrecy for a while

     


    Re: More GT3RS info (and a new limited production super-997 for 2010!)

    Looks like a redux of the 40th anniversary 911... Not special at all.

    SciFrog:

    I was talking to someone from Porsche who admitted that the 40 year 911 was a loss for the factory.

    So, not special but at least excellent value which very rare indeed. With the new car they will go the opposite way judging by the expected price quoted above.

     We aren't even allowed to have "ss" as a numberplate, so I'm sure a carerra SS will never ever hit German streets.


    Re: More GT3RS info (and a new limited production super-997 for 2010!)

    Lol, that photoshop must have been made by someone with little knowledge of the past...
    According to ISUK, it will be the Sport Classic, so SC.

    The photoshop looks good, allthough I hope that they'll leave the reflector stripe off.

    the special 997 is a c2s with a body/power kit and cost double the price?...  wow.. thats really special...

     

    btw, will the new matte grey color be offered to the new turbo?


    Re: More GT3RS info (and a new limited production super-997 for 2010!)

    well i sure hope they will make it stripped out and light.....back to the roots of the 911.

    i would love a 1200 kg 911 with 450 horses.
