GT3 RS

I've even heard that there will be 7000 of these. Crazy, imo. They will be very cheap in a few months...
Just look how many used GT3 RS are on the market

 

Haha Joe, you are funny! No motives here, other than that I am a motoring journalist and editor of a Porsche Magazine in the Netherlands and a website (Porsche nieuws, autosport, rijtesten en meer vind je op Vierenzestig) and that I am curious as to how many will be built.

I got this information from a Porsche insider and after that I found out that there is a span of over 5000 numbers between two photographed GT3 RS VIN numbers I have seen.

It could be that these numbers were not exclusively used for the GT3 RS and that they skipped numbers, but Porsche does not do that usually.

All I do is seeking wisdom here, since I am not an expert on this matter and this is what Porsche said:

"We cannot comment on that topic since we do not communicate the delivery/production numbers of specific derivatives."

Got the 6000 to 7000 number as well.

 

Ive owned my RS for about a month and I still cant believe its in my garage. Amazing piece of machinery.

They're batch built. First batch were 187xxx's. Second batch were 192xxx's. Latest build batch I've not physically seen any, but perhaps 197xxx, hard to predict with '17 cars in pipeline.
Could be lower, as the 187/192 sequence is a 2016 vin, not a 2017. So fewer non RS cars in the mix.

Ferrari stopped "numbering" cars as it made it easier to track the 101 of 80, or 410/399 Enzos built nonsense. Also, Asian and others wanted "lucky" vin or build numbers assigned.

If you think there aren't "un-numbered" Mezger RS cars out there, I'd wager you're wrong. It's just the Germans aren't overt liars about it AFAIK.

 

I think "production" numbered cars, pre-production cars, and non-numbered "production" cars are 3 different things. What is admitted is usually far shy of actuality. In Ferrari's case, they truly lie, even when confronted with actual vins on actual cars. Hysterical.

There are all kinds of "not one-offs" about. I'd expect extra orders appear, and cars get built, and most won't see mainstream scrutiny. 600 are numbered, true. But as with Enzo, it's a safe bet that a few parts got put together after they ran out of number plates.

 

Miserable photo of a magnificent car. On display at Porsche Centre Oakville during Saturday's Cars and Coffee.

A gorgeous 997 3.8 GT3 RS was also present, annoyingly probably the one I didn't pull the trigger on 18 months ago, when the market was easily 30% cheaper.

How incredible these must be on track. I'll have to keep telling myself "one day" .

Absolutely gorgeous!

 

We are still seeking USA-spec 3.8 RS in all colors other than white. Please contact me at [email protected].

 

Alway great to see pics of this car. Too bad you only got to put so few miles on it!!!

 

Sad to see this beautiful and unique GT3 RS go..

 

Friend bought that car new here in TX. He planned to order a 991 RS similarly, and local dealer "shifted" allocations.

God I hate Porsche dealers, they're worse than Ferrari dealers, with in bulk lesser products.

Great car. GLWS.

 

Never enough...

That is excellent!


Q: "why do you have that many Porsches?"

A: "because that's all I can fit in my garage"
