First few GT2 RS has arrived at our dealer
Dealer sent me a few photos via email this morning. They just arrived.
Will go see them in person later this week. Will post some pics
Crappy cell phone image that was MMS'd.
There is also a white one.
EDIT:
Here are some more photos I took yesterday afternoon. Car is very nice in person and I like the unpainted hood very much. Doesn't look funny at all.
They are busy doing the PDI's.

However, a few things are going to make this car truly remarkable.
First, the only cars that are not available with PDK are the GT models. I have no doubt that the 991 GT models will all have PDK either as an option, or quite possibly, as standard with no manual transmission available.
Second, the only cars that still come with the true dry-sump Porsche engine that is based on the 911 GT1, are the current GT cars. The GT1 was the last car that Porsche won overall at Le Mans with in 1998, and the engine case design is still based on the 964 Turbo 3.6 from 1993, which was an evolution of the original TurboCarrera engine from 1976. The GT2RS is the final hurrah for this amazing piece of Porsche legacy, as Porsche is likely to drop it in favor of the new 9A1 engine. You can read all about it here:

Third, and possibly the most important is that Porsche is keeping the production numbers low on the GT2RS, which means that many of them will go straight into collections and rarely get driven. For the ones that do get driven, the combination of wild power going through a 6-speed gearbox and rear wheel drive means there will be a good chunk that will end up being written-off in accidents.
Mark my words Moe, 10 to 20 years from now, the clean, driver-quality GT2RSs are going to be commanding crazy money, and the collector-quality ones are going to be in the stratosphere. Way more than the $250K they are going to sell for new. I would buy one in a heartbeat if I had the means.

I miss Wiedeking's anti-flappy paddle policy.
