GT3 RS

What a weekend I had...
After having shared with Luigi the emotion of 2 laps with the Enzo in Monza on Sunday

, I had the confirmation from my dealer on Saturday that a GT3 RS "street version" will be produced!!

: Dario 996TT was right!!!
Very little tech information for the time being....but the GT3 RS should be produced in limited number by September this year. The car should be externally almost identical to the car racing in the endurance races

It should develop 390hp (the dealer also mentioned a 450hp kit available

).
BBS with 9"x18" front and 11"x18" with 315mm tyres on the back.
Sorry but this is all I have got from my dealer

but he will let me know ASAP any more infos coming from Porsche AG

BTW, he said he will order it even before sell it...as it is going to be BIG!!

I will keep you posted.
Ciao,
Andrea

Re: GT3 RS

I still doubt the appearance of a GT3 RS street version (remember: ALL cars have to be available on the US market too

) but I'll let you guys surprise me.

What I also strongly doubt is the 60 HP kit for it.
However...I heard a rumor that Porsche plans a 415 HP kit for the new GT3.

Well, RC, I know that PCNA said all cars will be US Legal...

but maybe they will say that we (USA) gets the normal GT3, so that qualifies, even if the GT3 RS is not US legal

I wish I knew, so I could adjust my order...

Re: GT3 RS

What if that 415 hp special GT3 would be the Carrera 996 RS with a special wing?
Possible no?
Fanch.
That would be highly interesting!

Re: GT3 RS

RC Germany,
I also think that +60hp could be too much but....who knows???

I tend to believe that the engine could be available with the same power as of the GT Endurance cars, i.e. 420hp

This looks more consistent with what you heard about the GT3 upgrade (415hp)

I have to speak again with my dealer mid this week. I will ask him to chase more Porsche AG to give us more to talk about

Ciao,
Andrea

Re: it will...

Of course I love it,
I thought it was the new Gallardo interior,

That's the beauty of white dials, you put them on a Renault Fuego and you have a real sports car,

They are the ultimate "cool" option

I mean, it's almost as "cool" as a white car, but not quite

Fanch.

Re: why...

In reply to:
RC, why this?

New Porsche policy (apparently after a long period of protests from US customers): all cars available from Porsche have to be available for the US market too. This sounds pretty reasonable to me but this policy also restricts certain "adventures" regarding special models for certain markets.

You'll be surprised to hear that dealers usually know last about new models.

Sometimes dealers get preliminary infos or they're asked to ask around customers if there is ordering interest in a certain model but nothing precise.

No doubt, there will be very likely a GT3 RS but I highly doubt that it will be a car with street approval. Maybe they just offer the body kit and call it "RS" but I strongly doubt that a GT3 RS street version would be much lighter than the regular GT3. Regarding the rumored 415 HP kit: I heard that this might be a 3.8 kit, indicating that this kit might be available as a factory order only. Retrofit should be possible but probably with high cost only.

Speculation is easy, let's wait for the regular GT3 to come out and we might here more details about a possible RS version.

Re: why...

thanks for the info, i wasn't aware of this new policy. you are right -- it makes sense, as a US customer i would not be pleased if especially emotional models like the GT3 are not available to their most important market

btw: the C4 coupé is not officially offered by PCNA...

Re: why...

This is ridiculous!!!
Why would the C4 Coupe not be offered by PCNA.
What if a client wants a C4 but doesn't like the Turbo look,
Stupid

Re: zzboba is right...

Through the end of last year PCNA sold just 20 C4 coupes. With so little demand I can understand why it is no longer available.

2002 unit sales:
C2 1837
Targa 692
C2Cab 3177
C4 20
C4Cab 1241
C4S 1974
Turbo 2318
GT2 184
Total 11443

Re: zzboba is right...

sometimes reality beats fiction by far...
