    991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    I hope we soon will fill this thread with good stuff.

    My contribution: It seems as the configurator will open in February 2018 and my guess is that the car will be launhced in Geneva.

    I've heard of one allocation that will be delivered in summer 2018 - model year 2019. (I trust the source but not sure about the source's source.)

     


    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    I have heard a green color come standard. Have you information if it a limited car or not?. We have heard the name " cup edition"?

    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    I saw Green mentioned on Rennlist.

    Friend said it is coming very few of the RS but I'd take that with a grain of salt. Could just be marketing.

    Market launch color will be green, something very similar to acid green.


    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    I wonder if this will be annouced before or after GT4, 


    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    RS before GT4


    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    I bet on both at the same time in Geneva. Just like last time. Porsche has a history of no surprises.

    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    see on reenlist by Terrence :

    "If you look at my previous posts, I have suggested time and time again that 991.2 GT3 may come to an end at the year of 2018 as evident by news from magazines and also some member's production date of a MY2018 car as late as December 2018.

    Well, I just got an email from my dealer that they have officially received word from PCNA today that all MY 2019 GT3 and GT2RS will now be MY2018 because, wait for it..... "MY2019 will not be offered for these models"!

    Hate to say I told you so, but go get whatever you can get your hands on right now! I am never selling my GT3! LOL!"

    991.2 GT3 RS is for sure limited...

    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    The usual talk on RL about the .2 GT3RS being the last NA GT car etc etc

    Main themes are Euro emissions and maintaining competitiveness with turbo rivals

     


    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    Does the GT3RS has any rivals?

    It is a track focused car that can be driven on the street, not the other way around. The only car I can think of as a competitor is the M4 GTS........Maybe the Performante, but that car also cost a lot more.

    720S, 488 etc are a lot more powerful, and in the 720S' case might be faster in a single lap than the GT3RS, but can the McLaren do a full day, a whole weekend without breaking down?

    Well there is always the BAC Mono, Ariel Atom, but those cars are not quite as practical as a GT3RS.

    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    I think the AMG GTR is a direct rival to the GT3 RS.

    But let's see, I will be able to confirm this statement in a couple of weeks/months after receiving my AMG GTR in March. I drove many Porsche GT models over the last years including 991.1 GT3 RS the last two years and I intensively track my toys.

    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    I'd love to try a BAC Mono. But as you wrote Whoopsy: Not very practical.

    In my case as I do most of my driving on Nordschleife (not an environment you have control over) I'd prefer the RS over the BAC because the an RS with LED's in your rearview mirror is difficult to miss but a BAC, Ariel, Lotus 7 can approach other cars from behind and not be seen because of their low height. Not being seen is a bad thing.


    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    AMG GT R will be according to professional drivers (Le Mans winners even) able to make the first 3 or 4 laps faster than RS.

    On Bugatti track, after those 4 hot laps, the time is decreasing by 1-2 seconds, ceausse of fading, weight, heat etc.....

    So overall, able to make a spike perforamnce, while the GT3 RS will stay consistant around the times from first laps.

    Their choice will stay GT3 RS, and also becasue the wear of the car is huge ( GTR is heavy, tires are really utilized, brakes have an hard time ...)

    Seriously? This is a dumb move. Smiley

    In Germany, 100 kph is the legal limit but most people drive 110-120 kph. Smiley

    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    RC,

    Sad but true .. anounced today by our prime minister... the same people who were fighting heavily against it when they were in the opposition.... traditional political bullshit.

    Claiming death reduction due to speed limit decrease is a nonsense ..... safety of car have improved so much that this is the main reason fro fatality reduction. Today you are surviving almost 95% of time if you carsh at 90km/h. it was not 10 15 years ago.

    Anyhow this will have as well a massive cost to change all speed panels... they will also get mor emoney with speed cameras......And they have increased registration tax for sports car . For ex a 488 will cost you soemthing like 22k registration ...... Fantastic country !!! Time to leave ..... :-)

    Driver education and awareness is the most important thing. This is probably about making more money (speed traps, etc.) than real safety. 

    Ordinary people have a horrible perception of sportscars lately, even here in Germany. When I accelerate a bit (but not going over the speed limit!), people give me that stupid look. They associate loud exhaust noise with excessive speed. Just today, on a street next to a Kindergarten, I accelerated to 30(!) kph and I got a raised fist from a mother with a little child on her hand. Like always in such situations, I stop and ask what the problem is (seriously, I don't take shit from people anymore). She said I was driving too fast, I told her I was doing exactly 30...which of course she didn't believe. I added "a Porsche isn't as quiet as a VW Golf" and got back into my car but I don't think that I really left a good impression. Smiley Had a similar situation with a neighbor living down the road but since that time, he hadn't made any gestures anymore because I confronted him (in a nice way of course).

    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    RC,

    Had the same issue a month ago in a village, crossing at 50kph. Exhaust in sport mode. A stupid mother doing the same. I stopped as well and gently :-) explained.

    Your are right with acceptation. France is even worse. This is a shame to own something. You need to own nothing to be a good sheep.This is pretty popular as well, people are really excited when they see that taxes are so high for people buying psorts car. they feel better. what a stupidity.

    By the way, what is th emost stupid of all because those diots are working in silo :

    -> increase registration as such as an impact on people byuing new car. This is a fact. i will not buy a new one every year if I have to give 13k each time for registration

    -> Obviously no one is thinking that not buying the car is a loss of 30k in VAT..... but again too difficult for those people to connect the dots. Making such an increase is pleasing most of jealous people. This is enough for their pool of electors.

    Who cares about optimizing incomes ? They don't care. they will increase something else to counterbalance.

    I have finsihed my complaining now. Only solution : leave and move 1km from where I live to the other side : Luxemburg :-).

    Move to Miami...so many French people there and they love the weather. Smiley Smiley

    Joking aside, I understand you well. The whole car "culture" in Germany has changed. In my youth, young people were interested in cars but nowadays, most 18-25 years olds are more interested in smartphones and social media. Smiley The only young people interested in fast cars are mostly those with a migration background and unfortunately, many of them don't have a good reputation here, especially in larger cities like Cologne or Berlin.

    Police over here pays more attention to sportscar drivers than ever but luckily, I am not very young, so the police isn't too keen to annoy me often. Smiley When they stop me (mostly in the R8), it is because they think I did something to the exhaust. Especially police in Munich is specialized on modded cars. Once they look at my car closer though, they realize there is nothing to punish me for, so they move on. Usually they are nice but it is very annoying that almost every time I am in Munich, I get stopped. Smiley Yes, I drive with the sport exhaust activated but they should know by now that the R8 is loud. Apparently however there are idiots who think it isn't loud enough. My sales guy told me that one of his customers had a modded exhaust and paid 1600 EUR for fines, TÜV fees, etc. to get it fixed. They confiscated the car because the modification was obvious, the police officers are now trained to "spot" such cars, there was a welding line on the exhaust and they noticed it of course.

    Very stupid situation right now over here, so I do not recommend any (illegal) exhaust mods in Germany because police has caught up and they know what they are looking for.

    Speaking of laws, taxes and whatnot, I think Europe has changed and will change further along the upcoming years. People with money already started leaving Europe and this will continue in the years to come.
