soarer Posted 17November, 2021 Report Share Posted 17November, 2021 Currently own a 981 GT4 and very very keen to get into an RS. Messaged a sales rep a few weeks back and was told that all 25 cars coming into the country have been bought price unknown. Be a very slim chance that someone like myself can get into one anytime soon. Still put my name down and hoping for the best Yeatesy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc968cs Posted 17November, 2021 Report Share Posted 17November, 2021 I don’t think there’s anything untoward going on at Porsche. I was away on the weekend with 3 mates - all drive Porsche hard and track cars and all had put deposits down already (some years ago - 2018) as the idea of a GT4RS really appealed. That was in our group of about 10 people. Seems pretty obvious it was going to be rather special. It’s a new Porsche RS. Seems fair they will get one first. Not flippers, not cars and coffee only, these are all hard core drivers. The spec has turned out even more special than expected - 4.0 GT3 engine! All rather cool.

I had my money down for the 991.2 GT3 for over 2 years when rumours started going around that it was going to be a manual. I agree, there is nothing shady going on. I've no doubt there will be the odd opportunist, but the vast majority are enthusiasts or collectors. In regards to this car, it is far beyond what I expected and I'm now kicking myself that I didn't bother sticking an EOI down a couple of years ago. One thing that is interesting though, apparently the tank is only 54l in north american spec. I wonder if it will be the same here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc968cs Posted 17November, 2021 Report Share Posted 17November, 2021 I specified one up on the Porsche Australia website. A good white club sport car, bose stereo, lots of tasty little interior trim fit outs like chrono, white dials, full leather etc and it’s under $340k driveaway…… Raven, spiller and edgy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it would be faster (well PDK i guess) than your GT3? If thats what youre buying it for? My understanding is that the Carbon upgrade by (Surface transformations) is now the go to? So no need to spec PCCB in that case? (lots of guys @ Bathurst swear by em.... spiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiller Posted 18November, 2021 Report Share Posted 18November, 2021 Sort of relevant to this topic, interestingly the GT4CS race car gets the full 500hp. Very cool. Wonder what those are going for? Great alternative to an old cup car for track days with much much cheaper running costs in the long term. No c&c though.

My accountant just purchased a GT4 cup thingo, pretty trick car. Not sure what opportunity there is for racing it though in terms of classes etc. Typically you'd be chasing same year GT3 cup cars so would be tough to be competitive?

Yep you’d be in with the cup cars which would make it tough and not a great option if racing is your thing, considering you can only really use it at state level events competing for a $2 plastic trophy. I guess that’s why there are hardly any in Aus. Still a good track day tool for someone wanting a bit more of a hardcore trailered option with reliability and lower running costs. hugh and sleazius 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 18November, 2021 Report Share Posted 18November, 2021 I did speak to the SA today. They’re playing it super conservative with their delivery numbers IMO. Just be patient. The GT3 RS is going to drop at some point and a bunch of people will jump ship. Always happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soarer Posted 18November, 2021 Report Share Posted 18November, 2021 I thought my upgrade would be the GT3, but I think I will just wait until I can get the GT4RS. Probably won't happen for another year at least for my number in any sort of line is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWY Posted 19November, 2021 Report Share Posted 19November, 2021 Am I right is calculating dealer delivery is roughly $8,900 total when stamp duty and lux car tax is applied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
