I think a $165K base MSRP for the 991GT3RS is reasonable and approx. $30K above a base GT3. Of course, a heavily optioned GT3RS with all the goodies will easily hit the $195K+ mark. I'd expect the price point to match that of the 991TTS give or take a few bucks. Anything more than that and many prospective purchasers will take a pass. If I have to spend $300K I'd get the 2016 458M over the 2015 991GT3RS. Candidly if I had to pay a "markup" I'd take a pass. Not everybody cares about dragstrip times or who is faster on a racetrack. Some of us just like to drive the crap out of their steeds and have fun (and the get something else every 3-5 years). Gotta say that the new Z06 looks absolutely amazing and you can get it in a stick or auto and in a droptop. For 100K you can get a Z06 stick. I'm willing to pay a significant premium (over the Z06) to get the GT3RS but not more than double. One penny over $200K and I will look for something else. I'd also say that there is zero guarantee that the "investment" potential of the non-stick GT3RS is guaranteed in any way, shape or form. So to pay a dealer markup on a 991GT3RS is just downright fool hardy. My 2 cents.

I doubt it. Production numbers will dictate desirability more than initial cost. I'm sure the base price will reflect that and there will be far less cars than buyers. Every 991 RS is already sold.

the base price will be 180
so after a few options and tax it will be a 200k car.
it's not for speculation, it's a car to be driven.
I saw that, but most believe he meant a totally new motor compared to the last RS 4.0 (no Mezger). It will still be a 9A1 variant, or do people actually believe that Porsche, frustrated with 2cars catching fire, decided to develop, test and produce a totally new motor in 8 months for their flagship track car?
My money is on it being a 4.0 variant of the current 3.8. It will be a totally new motor for the RS line, just like it was for the GT3.
+1
Now just waiting to see who will get allocation...not sure if this was true but my dealer here in the UK told me first refusal will go to 918 owners and purchasers..was also told letters on intent to buy have been registered for over 2 years ...not going to hold my breath for one...but in the que let's see what happens

+1 totally agree on price estimate and agree that paying a markup is stupid and only for those that can afford to be first for the sake of being first. For example if you paid a surcharge for the new gt3 you are already underwater on your 2015 as there are plenty new and used already available for MSRP for new and less for used. See cars.com To each his own but I'll hold off until the insanity stops. Love the car though and can't wait to see one.

There are a "few" available new cars but they are far and few between. The plethora of cars you see are mostly ordered cars that customers haven't taken delivery on yet. The reason they list them as new is because they aren't sold till they arrive and are paid. A customer can always back out.

How many times does this need to be stated? Anyone think all those GT3s are available on cars.com or autotrader, just call the listing. You'll quickly find out they are unavailable. Many dealers list every car coming in, even if they are ordered cars. For the GT3, that's more than 90%.

I haven't called around and believe the ones showing new without pics are just that. Spoken for... But others have pics and been listed for a few weeks now. Seems like if those cars were spoken for the listing would be pulled after the car is picked up. I find it hard to believe these cars sit for 2-3 weeks waiting on the new owner to take delivery.

Give them a call. You'll find they are gone or huge mark-up. There are a couple, but not many that can be had at MSRP. Over on Rennlist, there are a few guys looking, and finding the issues of unavailability or mark-up. If your looking, check it out as a couple guys got leads on MSRP cars.
My dealer had a 918 Spyder and a GT3 sit in the showroom for 3 months waiting for the owner (he bought both), to come back into town to pick them up. So a couple of weeks is nothing....

My car sat on the lot for 3 weeks before I took delivery so you might want to call if you are interested in one first before assuming it's available.
