Its what I'd have if money was no object. The speed and sound of the gear changes are awesome

Unless you've bought a 918 you can't have one!
Those owners get first dibs.

Think I'd rather have the Vanilla GT3. Looks better for a start, and is probably as fast as you need to go on the road anyway. Think the GT3 RS is purely both a track car, and a "my ***** are bigger than yours" car.

I'd rather buy a second have 997 GT3 (manual) or better still, buy a brand new Cayman GT4, which will be more fun, due to having a manual gearbox, and you'll get more out of it on the road than a bonkers fast GT3 RS.

I went to Geneva to see it Thursday, hopefully I've secured one but its not guaranteed. GT3 prettier but GT3RS very aggressive looking although the tyres are too big and make it look a bit like a tank

Lava Orange Porsche 991 GT3 RS In The Wild



From the article:
This splashy paint costs an extra €2,653 and for the same amount of money the 911 GT3 RS can receive an Ultraviolet paint while silver and metallic hues are available without any additional costs. Regardless of paint choice, all cars are getting gray 20-inch front & 21-inch rear alloy wheels optionally available with a silver (€238) or a satin black finish (€577).
