Lots of reviews online now, all highly complimentary.

Looks like another great sports car from Porsche, not that any mere mortal will actually be able to buy one...! :roll:

Looks great doesn't it. In effect, a compact and better balanced GT3

From the reviews I've watched, it sounds deafening in the cabin when giving it the beans. Not sure how folk will cope with it on the road (not that many will see a road/track or outside actually).
Does look a superb bit of kit though.

I'd love one. Same as a GT3, if I could I'd buy one in a heartbeat. It's amazing how reasonably priced (dare I say 'cheap') these special editions are. £108k for that seems like an absolute bargain.

My Vantage was £155k, far more than I'd spec a GT4 RS to (yes I've had a play on the configurator!) and I daresay the GT4 RS is way more car for the money. Depressingly, I can only get a GT3 to £145k and I'd have one of those in a heartbeat.

They're almost pointless cars to us 'normal' guys, even if you have the money to willingly throw at one, as we won't be able to get near a factory order at list price and I imagine they'll be trading at around double list once they make it onto the grey market. Shame.

One of the country’s most experienced motoring journalists says it’s the best car he’s ever driven. Henry Catchpole loves it too.

I actually really like the Gentian Blue one with silver wheels, in the second half of the video above.

Such a shame that only VIP flippers will get hold of new ones... :(

Argh, this post prompted me to look up what I'd pay for a 2007, 997.1 GT3 (one of which I sold in 2013 for £52k). :shock:

Wish I hadn't!! :roll: :lol:

Yeah, you messed up there. If you had a crystal ball then, bet you'd have killed for a 4.0RS huh.

Coincidentally I also sold my 2007 997.1 GT3 in 2013

It was clubsport spec with PCCBs etc. and I let it go for £48k!

:oops:
