What Color Red is this ? I know it is not Guards Red or Ruby Red.
Zanzibar Red?

Just heard that Germany will apparently get 120 of the total of 500 cars to be produced.
I heard Germany would get 41 - odd number but
That would be far too low a number. Munich alone might get about 20 cars...
I agree (120 sounds much more realistic) but is what I was told by someone who has ordered one and should be in the know through their close Porsche contacts 
loads of conflicing information about numbers out there......latest is UK will get 16....
That red is Guards BTW

I don't know who would actually delete air condition. Radio, maybe, but if you delete the air con, you are buying the wrong car.
If you're going to strip out every creature comfort and use it just as a track car, why would you not just by a legitimate Porsche race car?
Agreed, buy a cup car...
You'd have to trailer a Cup car to the track, whereas you can drive there in a GT2/GT3 RS.
If you don't go to the track enough to warrant a trailer, then the real life benefit of deleting the air con is almost nothing. The weight difference would be hardly noticeable under casual use due to variation in fuel, junk you keep in the car, passenger, etc. Small amounts of weight savings don't do much unless you are going to push the car all the way. You could probably make up for the hundredths of a second on your lap due to the additional weight by simply learning to drive faster.

Also, the aircon will help to retain your physical fitness... Most non-professionals will drive slower if the have to operate under unfavorable working conditions (like in an overheated car). 10kg of sprung weight is really nothing

Stupid question, I know, but does this car have launch control? The 0-62 times don't seem any better than standard turbo. I am sure I am missing something...
Maybe because the turbo is 4wd and the GT2 rs 2WD?

Is this the best looking rear view of a 911 ever ? I think it looks absolutely awesome, almost exotic......
OMG yes that is a beautiful mix between aggression and elegance

indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine.. I happen to like both :)

It's not faster in 0-62mph than the standard Turbo, because it is rear-wheel-drive compared to the Turbo's AWD and PDK gearbox. The acceleration advantage will become much more evident in 0-100mph or 0-200mph

i was going to order the car without aircon, but I'm now very glad i didni't as the cabin is warm (~22 deg)even if it's cool outside (12deg) and with the fan going.

For comparative purposes, here's a link to a video of the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS lapping the (extended) Nurburgring during the recent 24-hour event, including telemetry...
