martini964:That wing is huuuge
Not huuuge but yuuuuuuge!
At least there won't be any issue with rear window visibility due to the wing 
Personally I think they exterior is perfect for the cat but that interior though 
I get it that the car is the radical 991 version and they wanted an interior to match but that red burns my retinas

If it's anything like the 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0 order book, there will be a no cost option to make the headliner dark grey or black.

Ohhh, ok. Doesn't matter so much for me. I got what I need, so I'll be off snorkeling with my son for a week now😎
By the way, my daughter got her drivers licens yeasterday, so now the hideous A6 she wanted is no longer planted outside my house👍 Looked a bit like a R8 sport back (all Audis look alike😂😂😂)
Enjoy Goodwood now, Nick. See you in October

They had no choice, they had to go with 700 hp. If it going to be 700 or 720, doesn't really matter. There had to be a 7 in front to be competitive in this price range and car class.

Re: 991 GT2 RS (2017) - Rumors, speculations and gossip
My dealer called me yesterday as we were on the waiting list (not for me), the specs they had received 700hp, 2.9sec 0-100, and 340k CHF. 
He wanted to reconfirm our interest knowing we had to sign a document forbidding you to flip the car within the year.

The new 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series is 316k CHF, so... 
Compared to the GT2 RS (and the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series), the 720S is a bargain but since the GT2 RS appears to be limited, it will certainly find enough customers to want to get one.
The pricing of both (911 Turbo S ES and GT2 RS) however indicate where a 960 would be price-wise if Porsche would offer one. I'm afraid close to 300k would be out of my price range, so...

Initial retail price wise the 720S looks like a bargain but when you actually factor in the resale value, the GT2RS is a much better deal than the 720S if you can get one, the 720S will likely suffer big depreciation as is typical in McLaren and even more so the 720S since it the first version of multiple versions McLaren will introduce of this gen, while the GT2RS being a halo 911 version and somewhat limited will hold is value much much better.

I get that, and it'll probably be a fantastic car to drive as well, but this price bracket is a stretch for a 911.

True...maybe but we don't actually really know how the 720S will depreciate.
If you are looking at the GT2 RS from a car collector's perspective, it is certainly going to be an interesting product indeed.

Re: 991 GT2 RS (2017) - Rumors, speculations and gossip
Not completely sure it will be a collectors car, one that will actually increase in value over time, but if you can get over the psychological hurdle of paying such a price for a 911, when you sell it after a year or two, you will probably have lost less money than if you bought a 720S instead. At least I think so though you never really sure with these things, the GT2RS may even turn into a 997GT3RS 4.0, who knows...

I am pretty sure that a limited 991.2 GT2 RS will not loose it's value but there have been surprises before.
It is definitely an interesting product but the martial aggressive design is a bit too much for me, it surpasses the already quite aggressive design of the GT3 RS by far... Of course this is the purpose of this car but I can understand why many customers choose a McLaren or Ferrari instead.

correct - and you can only lease the car & have to make a downpayment of 30%

BjoernB:the Special part is that you are "the choosen-one" to lease it
- small print sais at the end of the term the remainder you pay @ market rate
OK, so I guess I'm sticking with Audi.
