    Speaking of Lava and PTS.

    I was offered a June production slot with an August delivery in Lava and I declined based on the fact that I want to wait for approval on PTS Viper Green.

    It was a big decision however I really think getting a PTS will be worth it in the long run.

    WOW.

    Thanks for sharing this, I had heard about his RHD 4.0 RS but have never seen any images of it.

    He must have been well-and-truly sold by the factory pre-production car he drove extensively (S.GO 5017).

    Interesting comments here by AP.

    Not sure how far they will go but I love the idea of a smaller, lighter, more involving car. I could care less about massive HP that you can't use on the street.

    "I’d rather turn it around and make the car lighter again"


    Other notable comments.

    "Preuninger reiterated that GT3 versions would stick with natural aspiration."

    "While the current 911 GT3 and GT3 RS are dual-clutch PDK paddleshift only, Preuninger suggests future models will offer a conventional three-pedal option."

    No doubt. I think they should be able to get these cars below 3,150 lbs (?)

    The '73 911 RS was about 900 lbs lighter... and that was without any modern composite materials.

    True, but the '73 RS didn't have the safety features of the modern car, and looks to be half the size. First time I drove my '72 911, a vehicle pulled up alongside that I assumed was a massive SUV. It turned out to be a lowered WRX. The '73 will always be my favourite, however.

    Preuninger says the 4.0 RS is 2,800 lbs dry, that's pretty amazing for a contemporary 500 bhp car!

    I think the cars really got bigger with the 991.
