CloseThis seems to be the final product:
www.news.de/auto/855164801/die-weisse-jungfrau/1/

- 0-200kph in 12s
- "Weight" 1360kg (corresponding figure for GT2 RS: 1370kg)
- Only available in white
- German price 178k incl. 19% VAT (lower than expected)

Wow...
7:27 sounds pretty impressive, but is it worth the tacky stickers?!? Even the little spoiler in front of the front wheels seems to be a sticker!!! 
The price is way lower than what we heard before... that is interesting to say the least. Maybe the beancounters did finally realize that there is a limit to what people are prepared to pay...

That's true. Also the number of cars to be sold is slightly higher than expected (600 vs 500). Maybe the delayed presentation has to do something with Porsche finding the right "market clearing price" 
One more thing that's interesting: according to the article they want to build 600 cars. Isn't that a bit too much? 
About the rest of the car: base price seems interesting, but we should remember that this is without the PCCB obviously. So we should rather speak of 190k. Still cheaper than expected. Don't like the stickers BTW, looks ridiculous. Just tear them off, plain white is perfect for this car.
The secret of life is to admire without desiring.

I don't think the stickers will be a problem to have them removed. But the size of the rear wing will be a real embarrassment if the car is used outside a circuit.
What is the time for the normal GT3 RS?
"Form follows function"
Is the rear wing seriously such a big difference to the "normal" GT3 RS? Both cars look more appropriate on a mountain road or racetrack than on a supermarket´s parkinglot.
Specs and pictures have circulated the web for quite some time now, only their somewhat official status is new. Should the Mezger engine be discontinued on the 991 model, this 4litre version is certainly a collector´s item.

Maybe Porsche finally found out that most Porsche track drivers (the place where this beast belongs) replace the PCCB by cast discs anyway ? 
As for the looks I prefer to wait for the official photos.

hmmmm sounds like a beast! Price is good too, Im not sure why people are crying..
The stickers can be removed, but these pics seem like a very fresh and potent track toy. A true collector if you ask me.
indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine.. I happen to like both :)

I'm not convinced...
That steering wheel, really?
What's wrong with the steering wheel? I have the same on my GTS, albeit in leather, and it's superb!

Interesting that the street car has more HP than the GT3 RSR....thought not surprising since the race car is forced to run "intake restrictors" per class rules.
Yeah, I think without restrictors the motor is good for ~600hp. The street version likely loses ~100hp by using a more mild cam, lower redline, more restrictive exhaust, lower octane fuel (compression is lower?), and I doubt the street car keeps the RSR's 6 Individual Throttle Bodies (but it would be awesome if it did).
