I don’t rate the engine note in the top end at all! Car looks good though and is obviously very well planted judging by the in-car footage.

Raven Posted 17November, 2021 Report Share Posted 17November, 2021 1 hour ago, hugh said: Question; How much lighter is carbon fibre to plastic? To be honest Hugh not much , yes it is lighter and stronger , but will the average GT4 RS buy,r notice it . My formula 1000 car comes with both options of panels and wings in eg Carbon or reinforced plastic and glass fiber , The carbon is stronger and looks cool raw but also cost 3 times the price when you inevitably damage something on the track racing, eg a set of front wing end plates in Plastic $200 , in carbon $500 . If I were to buy a GT4 RS I would like the WP and all the carbon , but to be honest it is just a look or aesthetics on what would be a road car for me , if I spent that money I want the carbon . I am certain some die hard track Rats who intend to track the GT4 RS may go for carbon also , but I know all that carbon comes at a high replacement price..

mc968cs Posted 17November, 2021 Report Share Posted 17November, 2021 Does anyone really want plastic over Cf…..naaah shizen guys. It’s got a full kit circa 9000 rpm, circa 500hp GT3 derived engine. Aero. Brakes. And looks. Even prices seem lower than expected. Wow. It’s next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiller Posted 17November, 2021 Report Share Posted 17November, 2021 300K is reasonable considering what an old 911 costs these days. Shame about the PDK only. I’m going to assume that like every other GT product you needed to be in line with a deposit years ago and have purchased a Macan, Taycan and Panamera to get a look in?

JWM Posted 17November, 2021 Report Share Posted 17November, 2021 “The naturally aspirated flat-six engine, familiar from the 911 GT3 Cup racing car and the 911 GT3 series production model, forms the centrepiece of a sports car that has been designed for maximum driving pleasure. The engine revs as high as 9,000 rpm.” So does it get a derivative of the GT3 motor, not a more powerful version of the GT4 donk, or is “familiar from” a marketing sleight of hand here…? Edit: apparently it is a GT3 motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting Price is $300k ,I think fully optioned with WP and PCCB and half a cow of leather closer to $375K still priced well compared to its bigger GT3 RS brother .. The 992 GT3 I configured was $475K and they start at $415 , chance of getting GT4 RS ........."slim" can not even get a 992 GT3 , on the dealer waiting list ..........????????

DJM Posted 17November, 2021 Report Share Posted 17November, 2021 Haha they did what I thought they’d never do. EV is on the horizon so I guess they thought what the hell, stuff the GT3 engine in it. I gave up my spot in the queue a while ago but wow, what a machine. For me this is THE late model Porsche to have.

Highly doubt this. Australia is the highest profit per unit market in the world for Porsche AG. We will get all the cars we want as long as we order now. 2.5 years of production, this thing isn't going to be rare by any stretch. Either way though, very interesting bit of kit which will make a lot of people very happy no doubt. HWY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafe_racer Posted 17November, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 17November, 2021 I believe that was in the next lot of allocations…..I don’t know what the time period is for allocations the dealers have to work with. 6 months maybe?
