Just got some base pricing info, just about 7% under the speedster, but no clue how much standard equipment...

Sigh... they just don't make em like they used to...


Regardless of any cosmetic gripes, I'm sure it'll be a fantastic car. For being the 104th and final 997 variant, it should be!

With a wild guess somewhere between 7:24 - 7:27.

Hey Marakji,

where did this info come from? The speedster in the US is 205k, so are we figuring around 190k msrp? Again it remains to be seen what the final outcome and reviews are but that seems pricey based on visual distinction alone. Is the 4.0L engine worth 55 thousand dollars?

I can't tell from the pics, can anyone see differences in the rear wing?

It'd be awesome if they offered the 4.0L engine conversion for existing 997.2 rs owners, because I am sure not interested in any of the other visual "upgrades" so far.

guess many of us are wondering whether the car is worth the extra money...kind of feels like the exclusivity is fading (no major visual diff with the mk 2, 600 cars produced...) and if the "posting activity" is an indication of interest on TS then the interest is surely falling down (but then again it is a holiday weekend).

Will have to make up my mind soon (few days left) and have to admit it is starting to feel like a very difficult decision

I'm already figuring out the diff I have to pay when I trade in my 2011 GT3 for the RS 4.0, and it ain't pretty AT ALL... I'm hoping the base car is well equipped...

Not sure it will be.
From the leaked image it looks like it has no ceramic brakes (that could justify part of the price increase...whether we like them or not is another issue) but will most probably come with a painted CF hood amongst others and plastic side and back windows.

We are talkng about a 35-40% price hike on the base car here!

Easy enough to do. I just did that to my gt3 motor, but obviously I don't have a factory warranty.
