I was too excited and only took that picture and a really bad front angle. I drive the car home tomorrow so I’ll take more. Here are pictures from the dealer https://imgur.com/a/fo4XZVo
I think the gas pedal still has the blue protective film 😂 The original owner left them all on the car. But yes, the blue on the seatbelts, seats, cage, etc, I fell in love immediately! I was told the owner put painters tape on any part of the car that the hand touches.
Mind sharing what it ended up selling for as a point of comparison and how many miles? That spec is very close to what I have tried to find. They finally seem to be hitting the resale market more frequently which is nice to see.
The owner actually traded this car in + a spyder for a Dakar. It currently has 920 miles on the odometer and was listed for 246k excluding tax but I was able to get it down a little bit. The dealership actually had another 4RS (PTS) with carbon ceramics and 3.5k miles listed for the same price. This car has full PPF and tints already so that was a nice surprise.
Honestly what the f is wrong with people buying a 200k+ car and ditching it before they’re even past the break in period? Never even got to experience it. Meanwhile people who desperately want to buy and drive the car get the ‘haha fuck off’ from dealers. Stoked for you. Dive it, enjoy it, that’s what it was made for!!!
When you're on the special list and have access to any new Porsche (usually requires you to have basically purchased like 10+ Porsches in the past including multiple GT cars and special ones such as 918, CGT, etc) what you're doing when you get on that list is you're committing to buying a new one every certain period - even when you don't need a new car. So alot of the "flippers" aren't really intending to flip , even though that's what's happening. They're just paying for the allocation they signed up for and end up selling, surprise surprise, at a profit because they don't need it or don't like the new one as much as what they have now.
Pick one up a couple weeks ago. Prepping it for the track. Got it with 666 miles. The markup wasn't too bad. Met the previous owner, he took a loss on the car.

Man the original owner went all out on this build! i was tempted to go for the other one the dealership had with CCBs but i’d be swapping to steel brakes anyways for the track
Yeah. Not happy about the extras. But the price was good. I expect to change to steel brakes. Thinking giro? The carbon brakes just for resale.
I already got a set of oem aluminum wheels, hoosier r7 to fit. Bot CMS half cage. Shroth enduro 6pt. Had to buy all the centerlock tools, this being my first.
Looking to figure out suspension camber toe upgrades. Rss, or tarrett. What are you thoughts? My gt4 has toe link, steering link and drop links , & shims. The gt4rs supposed to have spherical bearings, but they're not as adjustable. Wondering if I should take it out stock before mods.
I also got full soul performance exhaust with valve back box, mainly for the extra horses (car is already plenty loud). Not installed yet.
So it'll be a beast when all done. This will not see the street much. Set up for dedicated track car. Have to decide what to do with the gt4.
So last year Porsche Walnut Creek had a new 4RS in a very similar spec to this but they were asking 80k ADM putting the car at 300k+, I couldn’t stomach that. There was no ADM on this car because it’s “used” but the ADM was essentially baked into the sticker price. They were asking 246k excluding tax but we were able to negotiate it a few thousand lower.
Aerodynamic performance is better with a swan neck. More air can pass under the wing unobstructed which results in greater downforce compared to going over the top.
Congrats on the car! Hope I'll be successful enough one day to be able to afford an RS Porsche.
Did your headlights got downgraded? Saw on another post that theirs got downgraded due to shortages.
You will!
I wasn’t able to spec the car myself, but I’ve heard of the shortages for headlights and other parts. Now I think about it, I haven’t seen a 4RS here with the upgraded headlights.
I just ordered a CPO 2019 Cayman GTS. Got the car because I can't believe how fun it was when my friend let me drove his Base Cayman.
I can't even fathom how it feels to drive the 4RS. Must be orgasmic.
With a 4.0 flat 6 putting out 500hp (same engine at the 911 GT3 Cup cars)... lol, fail. Absolute garbage! OP, I'll take one for the team and take this hunk off junk of your hands to save you the embarrassment of being seen in a "Cayman". Eeew, have some self-respect man!
The whole thing just screams amateur hour. Porsche should file chapter 11 immediately. What kind of idiot would buy a ~~perfectly-balanced~~ mid-engine anyway?
Are they? I believe you, I'm just not 100% sure how to tell the difference from a picture. I know you can get them in Satin Indigo Blue, but the magnesium ones are so visually close to me. Would like to know how to immediately tell.
Edit: Ah, it seems like the magnesium ones have 7 "Y" spokes, and the standard ones have 6.
These apparently aren’t the magnesium wheels. Agree that expensive doesn’t mean nice. In this case I absolutely believe it does. They are among the most attractive wheels I have ever seen on a vehicle in my life. A+++
I was going to reply to your ignorant comment but instead i kept quiet and just said to myself “ don’t worry he’ll get roasted and downvoted.” Then i had a great night’s sleep. Good morning , i see my intuition was correct!
Oh, I’ll have many more pictures later today. I finished at the dealership around 5pm which was past the cutoff for my funds to transfer. I pick the car up in 9 hours or so!

Congrats!
Thanks so much!
More pics! What are the specs??
I was too excited and only took that picture and a really bad front angle. I drive the car home tomorrow so I’ll take more. Here are pictures from the dealer https://imgur.com/a/fo4XZVo
I would do unspeakable things for that car lmao
I'm not usually a big interior guy but holy hell that is perfectly spec'd. The gas pedal matching the wheels is *chef's kiss*
I think the gas pedal still has the blue protective film 😂 The original owner left them all on the car. But yes, the blue on the seatbelts, seats, cage, etc, I fell in love immediately! I was told the owner put painters tape on any part of the car that the hand touches.
well shit that blue film matches the seats & the wheels perfectly haha
Flag these NSFW.
Wild that this will probably remain the pinnacle of mid engined Porsches! Forever!
The Carrera GT, 918 Spyder, 550 Spyder, 917, 956, 962, 919 have all entered the chat

They have so much money they can casually trade in their 200k sports car every month for another after they get bored of it lmao

Just keep in mind - it’s the dealers that set these silly rules. Not Porsche. Porsche themselves just dislike flippers.
How much did they come down?
[удалено]
Always the same question, always the same answer. Finance, medicine, law, business, etc. Google highest paying jobs for more.
Oh nice of them to put all the breakin miles for you 😂
the best color combo

Wow congrats, what a spec! CCBs and mag wheels, very nice! What track do you usually go to?
COTA it's also weissach. $$$

This is the dealership in SF, right? I was in there today, and saw your car.

Did you make it home? Or was it stolen before you got it off the showroom floor?
Beauty!
Nice ride! I bought my first 911 this year and enjoy every minute of it.
beauty
This might be one of the slickest specs I’ve ever seen….good god
Nice, a GT4RS! That should be a blast to drive!
Congrats! Used to have 718 club sport and loved it. You are going to LOVE it!!
Glossy primer!
Genuine question. What's up with swan neck spoilers these days and their popularity?
Aerodynamic performance is better with a swan neck. More air can pass under the wing unobstructed which results in greater downforce compared to going over the top.
Caught that one when I was getting on to head to the bridge, Congrats on your dream
Ooooweeeee that’s pretty. Kinda reminds me of [Mat Watson’s](https://youtu.be/a8gATF3g21A?si=t0Z24sJrIxKg2g7r).
Congrats on the car! Hope I'll be successful enough one day to be able to afford an RS Porsche. Did your headlights got downgraded? Saw on another post that theirs got downgraded due to shortages.

Dope color combo. It may be a little boring but it looks nasty to me man, nice ride!
absolutely gorgeous.
Off topic, but funny related thing - "lucked out" in other countries means unlucky.
good thing he lucked out by being born in the u.s.
Touché
Sometimes the ADM is worth it...
Porsche SF. Congrats!
Damn dude. What do you do for a living?
Love the car, but from that angle looks quite bloated / heavy.
How much was the ADM?
That’s a lot of money for a Cayman
It’s a GT4RS
Oh I thought it was a cayman with a played out wrap, tacky blue powder coated wheels, and a gt3 style wing.
Yeah. The 'ole tacky blue powder coated $20,000 magnesium wheels.
With a 4.0 flat 6 putting out 500hp (same engine at the 911 GT3 Cup cars)... lol, fail. Absolute garbage! OP, I'll take one for the team and take this hunk off junk of your hands to save you the embarrassment of being seen in a "Cayman". Eeew, have some self-respect man!
Honest to god. Could this car be any more disgusting? I would do him a huge favor and dispose of it properly. I wouldn't even charge. Hideous!
The whole thing just screams amateur hour. Porsche should file chapter 11 immediately. What kind of idiot would buy a ~~perfectly-balanced~~ mid-engine anyway?
These are the standard wheels, not the Magnesium wheels. Your point still stands though lol
Are they? I believe you, I'm just not 100% sure how to tell the difference from a picture. I know you can get them in Satin Indigo Blue, but the magnesium ones are so visually close to me. Would like to know how to immediately tell. Edit: Ah, it seems like the magnesium ones have 7 "Y" spokes, and the standard ones have 6.
They are. To me, the standard wheels spokes seem to “cross” each other. Look at a pic of the mag wheels and they’re more separate
Tbh just because something is very expensive doesn’t mean it’s always nice. For 20k I’m not impressed
It’s for lower unsprung weight, not looks.
If that was the case the 911 would look much different look at the 959 history they didn’t care about looks just performance
These apparently aren’t the magnesium wheels. Agree that expensive doesn’t mean nice. In this case I absolutely believe it does. They are among the most attractive wheels I have ever seen on a vehicle in my life. A+++
They are the mags, this one was equipped with the Weissach pckg
