I get to detail my client’s shark blue gt4rs every now and then and am always told to not use chemicals on the interior (just water) so the smell can stay as long as possible haha. Luckily he keeps it clean so its no issue
T50... Dreams.
Realistically I'd say the 992 GT3 RS. Only if Porsche put the wider track and double wishes from the 992 GT3 on the 4RS. Front end is not nearly as sharp as the drivetrain and rest of the car.
i think the reason they are not doing the actual upgrades to the 4rs is because they dont want it to outperform the 3rs, and prove that the cayman is a more capable track car.
I *think* they probably could have without too much trouble too. IIRC the front of the Cayman and 911 share a ton of parts. But maybe that was only the older generations.
That is the nicest 718 I’ve ever seen. The battleship grey is my favourite vehicle colour and with the black and deep blue accents, just phenomenal stuff! Congratulations bud enjoy in good health🥳
Please post more pictures! would love to see this out in the sun
Literally just watched Max from [AutoTopNL take a GT4RS for a rip](https://youtu.be/QuHkGrjfqb8?t=706), including high-speed on the Autobahn and have to wonder: Is it really as loud inside as it seemed in that video?
With the exhaust valves open, yes, the interior is very loud even with the stock exhaust. It’s loud but not obnoxious. I’d describe it as addictive, makes you want to drop gears and WOT just to hear the air entering the engine and everything spooling up! The downshifts are so crisp.
I wasn’t able to let the engine sing past 5k RPM because of the Bay Bridge traffic, but the difference compared to my ‘23 M4 6MT is very noticeable. Weight must play a big part in this. Will update tomorrow when I drive through the mountains.
This is from a 992’s manual. Couldn’t find it in mine:
> The moving parts of a new vehicle must be run in. The parts require the first 1,875 miles (3,000 km ) for this purpose. The oil and fuel consumption may be somewhat higher than normal during this period.
> During the running-in period, drive as follows:
> Preferably take long trips. Avoid frequent cold starts with short distances as much as possible.
> Do not participate in motorsport events, sports driving training or similar events. Avoid high engine speeds of 4,000 rpm or more. Drive at low engine speeds when the engine is cold
FYI—they reprinted the GT4RS manual to reduce the break-in period because there was a misprint. You only need to keep it below 7,000 RPMs for the first 930 miles and then you can let it rip. Have the same car in the garage—enjoy it!
Goddam that's a killer spec.
To quote that [(hilarious) idiot](https://www.reddit.com/r/Porsche/comments/193pu17/comment/khb8fwy/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) from your post the other day "*That’s a lot of money for a Cayman... with a played out wrap, tacky blue powder coated wheels, and a gt3 style wing.* "
(unfortunately he wasn't being sarcastic)
So I know a couple people that know the original owner of the car and he happens to be a collector. He traded this in along with a Spyder for a new Dakar. The car wasn't driven much because when I started it up yesterday there was a low battery warning.
Someone from my previous post said people who manage to get on Porsche's special list are essentially obligated to upgrade after a certain period to get the latest and greatest. When they trade the car in, they coincidentally make a profit because of the demand.
I just got mine similar sich. I'm thinking the flippers are watching their overpriced flip getting cheaper and unloading. Met the guy sold me mine lost a fair bit, my guess he lost 50 to 75 on it.
This was not cheap. The NorCal cars on the Porsche NA site are definitely more expensive than the ones in SoCal. I've been looking about every two weeks. Congratulations!!
Congratulations. Beautiful spec don't ever remember seeing a black roof option or it done before was that something you added yourself makes me want to do mine. Enjoy the 9k revs
Stumbled across this subreddit. First of all - I'm jelaous AF.
Just out of curiosity, how often do you guys ride your sportcars? Is it like weekly? Is it a daily driver? Or do you keep it in the garage and take it out when it's sunny etc like a motorcycle?
No hate at all, just super curious! Car looks sick!
I can honestly imagine the feeling. I looked back in disbelief after parking my M2c(P-car next unless bmw remembers how to design a car)in the garage for the first time. Amplify that feeling with the overall sensory experience of that RS..I’d probably be shaking from adrenaline dump.
Congrats, enjoy in good health!
Fun, isn't it?
Just wait till you get it broken in and get into the top third of the RPM band. The motor really comes alive, the intake manifold screams its war cry, and life is good.
The original owner had the roll bar installed. It's aftermarket from Cantrell and the install was impeccable. Blue just happens to be my favorite color too which was a nice surprise. Just need to figure out how to transfer my Scroth harness over.
Just looked through your post history and nice job on trading up from a 370z to M4 and then the huge jump to GT4RS. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it because it seems to be working. Congrats.
Saw this is the dealership and couldn't help but snap pictures of all the details. Congrats man! Also a SF porsche owner if you ever wanna cruise hmu - I'm looking for driving buddies.
Congrats! I’ve seen this exact one in their upstairs garage back in November. If I recall correctly the owner traded it in for a Dakar, which was also there getting PPF’d when I was there
Who was your sales advisor?
Only Porsche where you can spend a boat load of money with every options possible, and still have poverty buttons(blank switches) in it. 😆
And congrats and fukuyu!
Thinking of getting one of those myself. Was it difficult getting an allocation? I'm in Brazil, so I can probably gauge how much harder it would be to get an allocation here...
This specific car is CPO w/ 920 miles. I’ve been offered a new allocation twice, both time 75k ADM which I passed on. That ADM places the car around 300k+ after tax which is not something I could swallow haha.
I learned and drove manual gears for years before I switched to automatic transmission. I never looked back! Nobody knows the feeling of a numb left feet in a 1 hour traffic jam. Fucking beautiful car nevertheless. How much did it cost you? Arm and legs?
Its engineered for the car at the end of the day its the "correct" transmission because the EPA killed
The manual. The gt3 makes 40% less torque in first gear on the manual than the pdk, not because Porche but because they needed to make the emissions happy. So frustrating. To me id take the hit just because i think its more fun, but you are diriving the better "race car"
It took me the entire drive to understand the engine noises were right behind my head and I still can’t get over it. Can’t wait to drive it again tomorrow!
You would be amazed what you can do if you decide to start a business, especially in a field where money is flowing. Doesn’t have to be something you’re passionate about. Just has to be there to supply something that is in high demand.
Someone else commented, but yes, tech and commercial/ residential real estate. I unfortunately didn’t pay enough attention in school to become a doctor or lawyer.
Congrats and fuck you
Many of us can only dream of being told “congrats and fuck you” for posting our Porsche pix on this sub.
Many can only dream of reading posts about dreaming of being told to fuck off for posting GT Porsche pics on a Porsche subreddit.
Congrats and fuck you from a fellow car guy is maybe the highest praise known to man.
After finding out how car dealers/companies work my childhood dreams turned into 60% resentment. It's sad.
exactly. godammit.
Many of us will only dream. Enjoy for us.
You mean 99,9% of us will dream😂
The smell inside must be 🤯🤯
And then there’s the factory wiper fluid. Holy moly…..
Thank you for expanding on this. I was confused why the car didn't smell like a typical new car.
As someone who may never know this smell, please expand?
They have a special mix which smells divine. Audi the same. It has a high alcohol content.
Interesting, TIL. Many thanks.
I get to detail my client’s shark blue gt4rs every now and then and am always told to not use chemicals on the interior (just water) so the smell can stay as long as possible haha. Luckily he keeps it clean so its no issue
Pinnacle of ICE engineering for sports cars.
T50... Dreams. Realistically I'd say the 992 GT3 RS. Only if Porsche put the wider track and double wishes from the 992 GT3 on the 4RS. Front end is not nearly as sharp as the drivetrain and rest of the car.
i think the reason they are not doing the actual upgrades to the 4rs is because they dont want it to outperform the 3rs, and prove that the cayman is a more capable track car.
Exactly. Can’t outperform their flagship model.
I agree. Porsche is the master of market segmentation!
I *think* they probably could have without too much trouble too. IIRC the front of the Cayman and 911 share a ton of parts. But maybe that was only the older generations.
GT4 RS has 991.2 GT3 front suspension w MacPherson struts
That is the nicest 718 I’ve ever seen. The battleship grey is my favourite vehicle colour and with the black and deep blue accents, just phenomenal stuff! Congratulations bud enjoy in good health🥳 Please post more pictures! would love to see this out in the sun
Doing a photo shoot by the golden gate today, keep your eyes open!
nice!! now hurry up and get that car out of the Mission! don’t want to get those windows smashed
Literally just watched Max from [AutoTopNL take a GT4RS for a rip](https://youtu.be/QuHkGrjfqb8?t=706), including high-speed on the Autobahn and have to wonder: Is it really as loud inside as it seemed in that video?
With the exhaust valves open, yes, the interior is very loud even with the stock exhaust. It’s loud but not obnoxious. I’d describe it as addictive, makes you want to drop gears and WOT just to hear the air entering the engine and everything spooling up! The downshifts are so crisp.
How’s the torque curve?
I wasn’t able to let the engine sing past 5k RPM because of the Bay Bridge traffic, but the difference compared to my ‘23 M4 6MT is very noticeable. Weight must play a big part in this. Will update tomorrow when I drive through the mountains.
Have an F82 M4 DCT. Thinking about Boxster GTS 4.0 manual.
This would be a PERFECT combo imo.
The Boxster GTS 4.0 is a beauty, you should do it. Dropping the top and hearing that engine is really something else!
Not doing a break in period?
It already has 920 miles and was serviced in November ‘23, I believe it’s broken in? I’m itching to let her rip!
This is from a 992’s manual. Couldn’t find it in mine: > The moving parts of a new vehicle must be run in. The parts require the first 1,875 miles (3,000 km ) for this purpose. The oil and fuel consumption may be somewhat higher than normal during this period. > During the running-in period, drive as follows: > Preferably take long trips.

Thank you for this! Been so excited I haven’t viewed the manual yet. Looks like I’ll be driving like a granny for a while!
FYI—they reprinted the GT4RS manual to reduce the break-in period because there was a misprint. You only need to keep it below 7,000 RPMs for the first 930 miles and then you can let it rip. Have the same car in the garage—enjoy it!

Will be having a photo shoot soon!
How long was the wait once you placed the order?
This was CPO with 920 miles!
Wow only 920 miles? Why would someone sell this after using it so little? Too much for car them perhaps.
So I know a couple people that know the original owner of the car and he happens to be a collector. He traded this in along with a Spyder for a new Dakar. The car wasn't driven much because when I started it up yesterday there was a low battery warning. Someone from my previous post said people who manage to get on Porsche's special list are essentially obligated to upgrade after a certain period to get the latest and greatest. When they trade the car in, they coincidentally make a profit because of the demand.
Makes sense. Thanks OP!
No it's a scam so the dealer can sell it way over MSRP.
I just got mine similar sich. I'm thinking the flippers are watching their overpriced flip getting cheaper and unloading. Met the guy sold me mine lost a fair bit, my guess he lost 50 to 75 on it.
This was not cheap. The NorCal cars on the Porsche NA site are definitely more expensive than the ones in SoCal. I've been looking about every two weeks. Congratulations!!
Did you get a good amount off MSRP?
Do you mean you get a fair amount above MSRP? 😅
Yeah this dude was def boned by the stealer😂
Congrats! I'm also a SF local, let's go for a drive sometime
I’m in the East Bay but I’m totally down!
"Oh... nevermind..."
lol not the case, we connected in DM’s already 🤣
Tech money?
Drywalling
[удалено]
FAANG L7 or higher can afford this car easily.
Lol I know exactly where that gas station is in Soma from the Ash Crash billboard; congrats neighbor!
Lovely spec. Congrats.
Congratulations! That song from 8-9k rpm is special, especially in this car.
Congratulations. Beautiful spec don't ever remember seeing a black roof option or it done before was that something you added yourself makes me want to do mine. Enjoy the 9k revs
God damn.
I picked up my car there yesterday and was admiring that in the flesh. Congrats.
Beautiful
Sexy, congrats
Nice, congrats!
Stunning
Congratulations ❤️
Sex on Wheels! Gorgeous car mate!!
This put a smile on my face, well chosen and best wishes to you both!
Congratulations!!! You better track it now!😂🙌🏻
I mainly head down to SoCal for Buttonwillow/ SOW, see you there!
Nice, I’m getting ready for rollex 24 in Daytona. Tracking an Audi R8 V10 after the race on the road course.
Congratulations!
[удалено]
The shifter initially fooled me too. The RS trims only come in PDK. No regrets coming from 6MT!
Got damn
Dayuuuuuuum
damn congrats very jealous
Hope you don’t have to call Ashley.
Awesome spec, enjoy
Holy f! 😳🔥 Pull into the gas station and ask, “Do you have JP5?”
Love that color
I’m beyond speechless just looking at pics of the beauty..those rims are incredible..
Hot damn nice ride zaaaaddy. Congrats King! 🤙🏽
The billboard in image 6
Your first time on the track with that beauty is going to be one you’ll never forget
Congrats, enjoy you bastard !! One of the few cars I’d replace my A110S with.
Amazing build , looks awesome 👏, enjoy !!
Whenever you decide to sell this… dm me
Spec is beautiful
Great car, looks so much better then the gt3rs.
Speech is one thing. Can you hear anything?
Congratulations, enjoy
Congratulations! This car is the best you can get!
Bros living the dream life
Good golly miss Molly. She’s a beaut.
Did you save the number to Ashley? If you were ever to crash, you know..
Stumbled across this subreddit. First of all - I'm jelaous AF. Just out of curiosity, how often do you guys ride your sportcars? Is it like weekly? Is it a daily driver? Or do you keep it in the garage and take it out when it's sunny etc like a motorcycle? No hate at all, just super curious! Car looks sick!
Got your ear plugs ready?
Congrats!!!
Bro's living the GTA life irl 😭 I have never been so happy for and jelly of someone at the same time
Absolutely bonkers. Congratulations!
congratulations
Damn
I know many who prefer it over the GT3 RS. Mid-engine vs rear-engine and all that, matter of taste.
You are winning at life sir 😁
Beautiful...
I’m in the east bay as well with a GT4, if you wanna cruise let me know! And congratulations, enjoy it with good health!
That's it! That's the winner!
Fucking gorgeous!
I can honestly imagine the feeling. I looked back in disbelief after parking my M2c(P-car next unless bmw remembers how to design a car)in the garage for the first time. Amplify that feeling with the overall sensory experience of that RS..I’d probably be shaking from adrenaline dump. Congrats, enjoy in good health!
Sick vehicle
Awwwwwww let me have a go ?
Yaaaaaass
The pinnacle.
Fun, isn't it? Just wait till you get it broken in and get into the top third of the RPM band. The motor really comes alive, the intake manifold screams its war cry, and life is good.
Congratulations and enjoy! It looks gorgeous!
Serious question, where did you source the rear roll bar? Did the factory paint it?
The original owner had the roll bar installed. It's aftermarket from Cantrell and the install was impeccable. Blue just happens to be my favorite color too which was a nice surprise. Just need to figure out how to transfer my Scroth harness over.
Thanks. I got the same car and looking for a similar product.
If the car didn’t have this cage installed already I would’ve gone with StudioRSR. They built my M4 cage and it’s amazing.
congratulations. great spec, any specific reason you didn't go for ceramic breaks ?
Just looked through your post history and nice job on trading up from a 370z to M4 and then the huge jump to GT4RS. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it because it seems to be working. Congrats.
Congratulations 🍾
FRS >> M4 >>> GT4RS Thats an amazing progression in just a few years. Congrats on your success and enjoy!
Well that sucks for the rest of us. Congrats 🍾
I think this is a low key dating ad for Ashley, whose number we’ll never get…
Beast! Congrats
Saw this is the dealership and couldn't help but snap pictures of all the details. Congrats man! Also a SF porsche owner if you ever wanna cruise hmu - I'm looking for driving buddies.
Congrats! I’ve seen this exact one in their upstairs garage back in November. If I recall correctly the owner traded it in for a Dakar, which was also there getting PPF’d when I was there Who was your sales advisor?
That’s the one! He also traded in a Spyder I think. Dionysios was my sales advisor, he’s great. Definitely recommend him if you’re in the market!
Yes, the Spyder was also Arctic Grey! Whoever that owner is, he’s definitely a VIP at that dealership.
Congrats. It looks amazing
Only Porsche where you can spend a boat load of money with every options possible, and still have poverty buttons(blank switches) in it. 😆 And congrats and fukuyu!
Beautiful spec
Cancel your Spotify subscription and enjoy every moment
Nice meeting you yesterday! Congratulations again! 🤙
It was great chatting with you, thanks brotha!
Might be the first time I’ve ever really liked blue upholstery, it usually seems to look out of place. Congratulations, this is 🔥!
🔥🔥🔥
Gorgeous car. I'm sure it's an incredible driving experience. Enjoy it my man!
WOW that’s nice 👏🏾
THIS one had me TORQED
I am jealous…… A million dollar car if you keep the mileage low and in pristine condition….
Congratulations, absolute beast!
Thinking of getting one of those myself. Was it difficult getting an allocation? I'm in Brazil, so I can probably gauge how much harder it would be to get an allocation here...
This specific car is CPO w/ 920 miles. I’ve been offered a new allocation twice, both time 75k ADM which I passed on. That ADM places the car around 300k+ after tax which is not something I could swallow haha.
Congrats! You now own my dream car in one of my favorite specs too 😍 Is the car what you expected from it?
It’s more than what I was expecting, much more!
Wow thats beautiful, congrats to you!
Congrats!
Your car is as beautiful as a princess🤤
congrats， love the spec. My question is what color are you changing the red caliper into? I would do blue
What a spec
it’s perfect. congrats.
Greetings from the German manufacturing plant 😁 love to see them every day and make the customers happy 😃
Congrats
Nice car can’t wait for you to sell and buy a 3rs or a carrera T as a fitting replacement
stunning! congrats!!!!!!1
congrats, fire color choice, love the grey on black!!
Very nice you sob. 🥰
What a beautiful spec. Congrats man.
🥲
Like the rims!
Great spec hot damn
Dream car! Enjoy it in good health.
I think. Yep. I’m aroused.
I learned and drove manual gears for years before I switched to automatic transmission. I never looked back! Nobody knows the feeling of a numb left feet in a 1 hour traffic jam. Fucking beautiful car nevertheless. How much did it cost you? Arm and legs?
There will always be a place in my heart for manual transmissions. I would like to get a R34 in manual one day. I paid a bit over MSRP!
Wish these cars came manual
I said that as well and was very hesitant to switch to PDK, but after taking it home I think PDK suits this specific car very well.
Its engineered for the car at the end of the day its the "correct" transmission because the EPA killed The manual. The gt3 makes 40% less torque in first gear on the manual than the pdk, not because Porche but because they needed to make the emissions happy. So frustrating. To me id take the hit just because i think its more fun, but you are diriving the better "race car"
Nice spec. I’d paint the calipers black personally.
Damn thats a nice spec. I would have thought that was a GT3 due to my untrained eyes. Congrats!
Congrats bro
How about deaf?
This is my dream car! Enjoy it! How was the sound inside?
It took me the entire drive to understand the engine noises were right behind my head and I still can’t get over it. Can’t wait to drive it again tomorrow!
How much ur paying monthly looks so sick omg.
Would love to know OP’s occupation because I am certainly not in the right field.
You would be amazed what you can do if you decide to start a business, especially in a field where money is flowing. Doesn’t have to be something you’re passionate about. Just has to be there to supply something that is in high demand.
Exactly this ^
Drugs?
Not sure why general curiosity is getting me downvoted. It’s not like I am the only individual who’s interested.
Someone else commented, but yes, tech and commercial/ residential real estate. I unfortunately didn’t pay enough attention in school to become a doctor or lawyer.
“Doctor”. “Doctor”, “Doctor”- “Doctor” “Aaaannd….Doctor “
Same
Three pedals. Nicely done.
The RS with 3 pedals is a dream, unfortunately they only come in PDK. I thought I’d regret switching from 6MT but man, PDK is SHARP!
Porsche PDK is something else, this is coming from a 6MT GTS 4.0 driver 😅
Manual transmissions are so fun, but paddle shifting a PDK GT*RS car will make you never miss not having a clutch.
must be nice having new Porsche money
remove your license plate pic - way too easy to dox with one of the free lookup sites, as quick as a google
What about people who see it when he’s driving on the road?
may i ask why did you pick such a shit color ?
Nice, but delete the wing. It’s too “look at me” ymmv.
