Regular GT3 is such a lame poseur car.  As this one will be when Porsche introduces the GT3 RS-X Track Edition.  ::)

Love that colour but it doesn't really work with the gold wheels IMO. I'd opt for the black wheels with the lizard green stripe.

Certainly a statement car...
I love it when a plan comes together.

Canadian Ferrari pricing is a little tough to pin down, but a Portofino is what, $300K or so, the least expensive Ferrari sold?  Now, it's a gorgeous car, but when I see the GT3 for $100-150K less, wow.  The RS seems horrendously overpriced compared to the standard GT3, but then you check pricing of comparable cars, and sheesh.

Compared to its typical arch rival the Corvette, the Porsche pricing feels high, but then you look at other high end performance cars, and the Germans seems to be "value conscious". - LOL

Porsche has slotted in above the Corvette, GT-R, etc, and below the Ferrari, McLaren, etc.

If you go by market demand all these special Porsches are underpriced.

$275k and you have your keys banging into your knees??...sure a smart key system can't be more than $700...should be included, especially when cars that cost MUCH less than the tax on this car have it included.

This car is very, very desirable. While I know the regular GT3 would be way too much car for I....if you are going to dream big, might as well go for the full meal deal. Minus the gold wheels....0/10, would not want.
Lighten up Francis.....

I've driven the regular GT-3 on the track & it was amazing, can't imagine how great this one would be. Maybe if I make it out to Vegas again this coming spring.... the RS will be on the menu  ;D
